hawkwrench Posted October 19, 2020 Author Share Posted October 19, 2020 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. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hawkwrench Posted October 22, 2020 Author Share Posted October 22, 2020 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. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hawkwrench Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 (edited) 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: And here's what I've got: Comments welcome Tim Edited October 25, 2020 by hawkwrench Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wafu Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 (edited) A really solid start to the build Tim, I do like the modular approach to building. Edited October 25, 2020 by Wafu Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oliver 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.

hawkwrench Posted November 22, 2020 Author Share Posted November 22, 2020 Got a little bench time in today before work. All the seams look cleaned up and added the nose radar mount onto the fuselage. That's all for now Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hawkwrench Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 A little more done on the MH-60 tonight. The top doghouse was a tight fit that needed clamps to get it down fully onto the fuselage. Comments welcome! Happy Thanksgiving guys! Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
