DanW Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 HH-60G Pave Hawk, S/N 89-26209, 33rd Rescue Squadron at Kadena Air Base, Japan Kit: Kitty Hawk KH50006 Scale: 1:35 Decals: Werner's Wings Pavehawks Combat Rescue Pt 1 and 2 + few kit decals GAU-18s: Live Resin LRE-35333 Seat belts: Eduard Paints: Mostly Hataka C-series including Gunship Gray plus MRP, Tamiya, Gunze, Life Color, Vallejo, MM An additional MH-60L sprue G has been purchased to get FRIES. Comments: Pictures taken with DSRL in a light tent (5700K LEDs) except few taken outdoors which have slightly blueish background. I will likely do another session outdoors soon because the gunship grey looks better in daylight and it’s easier to fit the whole aircraft in the frame. Overall the kit came together pretty nicely except the fuselage halves. Next time (MH-60L) I will sand the cockpit/cabin walls at the very beginning and dry fit. There are some instruction errors but easy to catch.

Spectacular looking helicopter model, "mind numbing overload" in a good-way. I'm certain you're proud having this one, as part of your collection... extremely well and greatly accomplished!

DanW Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share Posted May 12, 2020 Just took few more pictures outdoors in daylight. I think colors look better than in the light tent. Especially the gunship gray looks better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Mark Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Outstanding work, and the pictures are top notch too! I agree the sunlight shots are probably a little better, but all of the photos are really good regardless.👍 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
