HeavyArty Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 (edited) Live-Resin has announced a 1/35 pilot/crew and GIBs (Guys in Back) set for the upcoming 1/35 Kitty Hawk USAF HH-60G kit. They will also include the USAF H-bar fast rope rig that is mounted on the ceiling in the below pic. Hopefully they will offer the pilots/crew chiefs as a separate kit since they could be used in any modern H-60 kit. Edited November 3, 2018 by HeavyArty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whiskey Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 This is all 1/35 Gino? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DuaneH Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Absolutely fantastic news! Been waiting for these two pieces for a while from LR. Should go well with the Reedoak front seaters I've got waiting around. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris D Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Man, if only they decided to scale down to 1/48. I know they did the miniguns in 1/48; I got like six sets of them. Maybe they'll consider it with these as well. There would certainly be a good market for them, as I'm unaware of any 1/48 60s with the external ammo cans and minigun mounts.

Sarathi S. Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Really wish they'd scale some of their figure offerings down to 1/48 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Clinstone Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Only problem I see is that the aircrew figures are wearing the Air Warrior vest instead of the Eagle CIACS. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyArty Posted October 7, 2018 Author Share Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) Live-Resin has its new modern helo crew figures available. They include pilots, USAF door gunners, a USAF H-bar fast rope rig, and three PJs/SF Operators for the back. All the sets look awesome. The pilots are wearing AIR WARRIOR SYSTEM (PSGC) vests, HGU-56/P helmets, and contain cyclic and collective grips as well. The door gunners are wearing AIR WARRIOR SYSTEM (PSGC) vests and HGU-56/P helmets. The H-bar fast rope set is an older USAF style used on MH/HH-60G Pave Hawks. It was replaced with the FRIES (Fast Rope Insertion/Extraction System, Army type) starting in the mid-2000's. All USAF HH-60Gs have the FRIES bar now. It is not appropriate for US Army MH-60Ls. The three PJs/SF Operators include two seated and one kneeling figure. Edited November 3, 2018 by HeavyArty Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hawkwrench Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Can you swap out heads with the other aircrew heads? Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tim I don't know for sure, but would assume so since all of Live-Resin's other figures have separate heads. I ordered a set of pilots and the door gunners, so I'll let you know for sure when I get them. Edited October 7, 2018 by HeavyArty Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tim Yaroslav just confirmed that the pilots/crewmen heads are separate and his earlier helo crew head sets will fit them just fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
