CharlieUH-1H Posted August 15, 2017 Author Share Posted August 15, 2017 Friends, any Idea on how I can make this two black holes next to where the tail start? I don't have a dremel I am thinking of print them and place them there any advice? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tank Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 All depends if you really want to model it. IIRC that is a late/later mod change and not on all 72's. http://fsaircraft.net/eurocopter/uh-72-lakota http://airbushelicoptersinc.com/news_features/2010/03-05-10-100th-lakota-walkaround.asp http://www.airplane-pictures.net/photo/236852/72105-usa-army-eurocopter-uh-72-lakota/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes I know but I don't think I will not deal with that since is super attached with a 2 cents glue lol but maybe I dont know...Revell.. made that mistake.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Loach Driver Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I think the two circular vents are for the A/C system. Not all Lakotas have A/C so that might explain why some have the circles and some don't. LD. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

salvador001 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Looks awesome Charlie, decals are on the way! I believe those two holes are only included in the medevac version, i think it has to do with the medical gear they have in the back. Rod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jager Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Charlie you build looks great. The tail rotor issue is a Revell issue. Our Oklahoma Air Guard unit flies the Lakota. A friend got us a tour and that is where I saw the tail rotor issue with the model. I did a what-if and converted the Lakota to a replacement for the Kiowa. I dubbed it the AH-72 Lakota Warrior. I had a very ill fitting canopy. It was approx. 1.5-2.0mm wide. So I requested a replacement part from Revell, which the supplied in quick fashion, but to too was a bit wide and required some rework to get marginally decent fit. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this fitment issue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There was a AAS-72X project to do the same thing. http://airbushelicoptersinc.com/news_features/2011/4-20-2011-walkaround.asp http://www.lockheedmartin.com/content/dam/lockheed/data/mfc/pc/aas/mfc-aas-pc.pdf And this one that looks like the H145M http://www.darkgovernment.com/news/armed-aerial-scout-72x-aas-72x/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
