MH-60G Pave Hawk 1/48 Italeri Operation Desert Storm


Recommended Posts

Hi!

After reading a thread referring to Gulf War Pavehawks, I would like to show mine. I really like Desert Storm birds and helos, so I just had to build this one.I finished it around May 2019.

 

It war the 1/48-Italeri kit. I added a few things:

-Eduard Big-ED-Set

-Eduard Cal.50-Ammo-Belts (Resin)

-RB brass gun barrels fort he Cal.50-guns

-RessKit resin wheels

-Self casted resin IRCM

-modificated UH-1 pilots (Plusmodel)

-a lot of scratch-built Details inside and outside

 

If you want to know more there is a build-log in a German modelling board.

Let’s start with the interior:

And now here are the photos of the finished little diorama. A small airfield scene is shown in 1991, where the Pave Hawks were used in desert camouflage during Operation Desert Storm / Desert Shield.

Love your build and your choice of aircraft the two tone brown desert scheme. I am just wrapping up a build of a Ocean Hawk in a rarely seen blue/gray still needs a diorama. You did amazing detail on the diorama and figures at that scale giving me some inspiration.

Nice! You Oceanhawk looks stunning! I'm looking forward to see the finished diorama. About 5 years ago I did a Seahawk diorama. It's Revells SH-60B Kit in 1/48 scale.
