MHRD Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Gino, Excellent build. Now that Werner's set has hit the streets, it is good to see it all come together. If I am understanding the backdating of the fuselage on your build, are all external stiffeners on the airframe to be removed from the HK kit? Or were there some that were installed in '93? Best, Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyArty Posted October 18, 2020 Author Share Posted October 18, 2020 (edited) Thanks. From my understanding, none of the stiffeners were there in '93. They were added later as the airframes aged and weak spots were discovered. Edited October 18, 2020 by HeavyArty Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HeavyArty Posted October 18, 2020 Author Share Posted October 18, 2020 Easy, easy Tim. Even the best of us get a little creaky in the joints as we get older. Doesn't mean we are any less awesome, just a little older. ☺️ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Clinstone Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 So I didn't know where to put this since this the the closest thing to an ODS MH-60 thread but I found an interesting picture of an MH-60A during ODS. There's no tail number but it's definitely an MH-60 based on the FLIR and the M134. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyArty Posted November 5, 2020 Author Share Posted November 5, 2020 Nice picture. Yup, no stiffeners on the tailboom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JakubJakepilot Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Yes, this is from reopening of embassy in Kuwait. I have some more Gulf war MH-60 pictures. Some have M134 and some have M60 in the windows. All have FLIR, HIRSS, ESSS covers, ALQ-144. Also have some pics of ODS DAP birds with short ESSS wings with 19-shot launchers, but the pics are from far away and not so good. But they are the only ones available so far.... Also interestning are grey MH-60s from Operation Prime chance with their special external mounted winch ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
