HeavyArty Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I recently acquired an Academy 1/35 MH-60G kit (2201). It is missing all of the main rotor parts off the B sprue. Does anyone have an extra B sprue or a complete main rotor system for it. Any of the Academy 1/35 H-60 kits will work as the B sprues are the same in all of them. Let me know what you have and we can work something out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hawkwrench Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Whatcha building there, Gino??? Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyArty Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 I am gathering the parts to do an early UH-60A from Grenada. I figured the Academy -60 was best to start with since it doesn't have all the later braces and stiffeners added to the fuselage like the Kitty Hawk kit. I also already had the Cobra Company open exhausts and some other parts for it. It is still a couple builds down the road, but I will post pics once it gets going.

hawkwrench Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Gotcha. An early TF-160 bird or 82nd Aviation? Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyArty Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 82d Aviation Hawk, possibly full of Paratroopers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hawkwrench Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Sweet. My old unit. Let me know if you need info. Do 23327. That's the last bird I crewed before I got unit. She was a veteran of the op. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's the last bird I crewed before I got unit. She was a veteran of the op. Tim Tim, It looks like your old ride (79-23327) is/was for sale. If you have about $1million, it could be yours. Check this out: https://gsaauctions.gov/gsaauctions/aucdsclnk?sl=91QSCI16123601 If you go through the maint record, it goes back to B Co, 82nd CAB in Jan 1981. I am guessing that is when it was first put into service. Here is a sort of recent pic of it as well. Looks like it was a MedEvac as part of the Arkansas National Guard as of Oct 2008. Looked pretty nice then. Update: Apparently it was sold, I think, maybe it was transfered, not sure. It was listed as civil registration N160CV owned by Unical Aviation as of Dec '18. http://www.aviationdb.com/Aviation/Aircraft/1/N160CV.shtm Apparently, Unical reconditions the helos and offers them for sale to foreign governments and civilian users. Searches also show they rebuild them as Fire Hawks too. Maybe that is how it will continue to serve. https://www.unical.com/unical_defense/ I emailed Unical to ask what they plan on doing with it. I'll let you know what/if they come back with anything. Edited February 25, 2020 by HeavyArty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hawkwrench Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Thanks Gino. I've got that pic at work. I'll take a pic of the pic later. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyArty Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 I heard back from Unical. As of now, the aircraft is in storage and it has not been determined what will become of it yet. It will most likely be refurbished and sold in some capacity. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Newtonk Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Gino, you seen this fromRekit? https://toylandhobbymodelingmagazine.press/2020/03/11/mh60l-main-rotor-for-1-35-kitty-hawk-kit-in-development/, someone heard you! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyArty Posted March 12, 2020 Author Share Posted March 12, 2020 That figures. I have all I need. It looks nice, but the Kitty Hawk rotor head looks pretty nice to me. I don't think it needs to be replaced. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Williams Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Yeah, I’m not sure what it brings to the KH kit, but it looks like a great upgrade for the Academy kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
