1/35 Kitty Hawk MH-60L "Super 63"


Recommended Posts

Thanks Tank. It was a pain getting those decals to settle down around the PC rods.

The silver track labels were a little bit less hard, but a pain regardless. 

Just gotta add the de-ice wiring and some weathering next.

Some work detailing up the tailwheel. I painted it using my custom Night Stalker black. I painted the tire and the electrical cable tamiya rubber black.

I used a chrome molotow 1mm marker for the oleo strut and wow, I love it.

I then hit it with testors dullcote followed up by a highlighting using a white chalk pastel.

Tonight I finished up the upper transition area of the MH-60L. I read where flying leathernecks offered a 1/32ALQ-144 so I bought it and put it on. (Should have bought the 1/35 one) The wiring was 2 short pieces of  020 lead wire. I drilled a 1mm hole and pushed the wires thru and glued them underneath. 
I'm pretty happy with the way it looks!

Here's what I'm after:

looking good Tim. Next time you can detail the engine and leave the cowling open....yes you can do it.

This one along with about 7 other Hawks and 4 Little Birds built by other modelers are going be placed inside a museum next year. The next one I build will be for a Somalia MH-60L crew chief, and he hasn't mentioned wanting to see the engines, so probably not gonna show it on his build.
