Scalemates isn’t a retailer. They’re a database, and as part of that database link to retailers that might be selling the item. It’s an automated system. They’re estimate of “in stock” at a certain place is not very reliable. The retailer can be anywhere from great (Spruebrothers) to horrible (Internet Honbies). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyArty Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 (edited) Scalemates is not a hobby shop or kit supplier. It is a data base of models, reviews, AM items for them, etc. Your best bet is probably eBay right now. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=1%2F35+HH-60H&_sacat=0 Edited March 21, 2022 by HeavyArty Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Will the SH-60B work, or just the SH-60F or HH-60H? Thanks Only the HH-60H. The SH-60F is close but it has the wrong door configuration on the left side. Floyd Quote Link to post Share on other sites
f84thunder Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Thanks for the info on the HH-60H. Looks like the are hard to find. I would really like to build MH-60T 6001 in the heritage yellow colors Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I paid through paypal and my credit card so if it doesnt show i'll get my money back. Says April- June ETA. Literally on the slow boat from CHINA. My decal set from Werner's Wings already shipped. So I am stoked for that. Now I'll just have to track down paint. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NWmodels Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Does anyone have links for a good flight crew that might look good with this kit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mfchi Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Yes the small one are 1/48 from the Black Dog set and the other are the parts from the kit 1/35! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Longtimemodeller Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Im using the KH SH-60F kit with WW’s MH-60T conversion, its not difficult to use some Evergreen styrene to make the tracks and rain sill. Ill worry about the interior when I get to it. Couldn’t find part HG13 (port side inner to outer pylon support) in the -60F kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyArty Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Looks like you are off to a good start. Have fun with the interior. The F model has a vastly different interior and is missing lots of stuff from the H kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NWmodels Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Ok so I completed my 1/72 Scale coast guard helicopter, went with the historic yellow color option. Still waiting on my 1/35 scale kit which will be in the orange and white. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NWmodels Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Testors Gloss Yellow looks perfect to me, but by no means am I a professional painter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stakor Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 (edited) Nice job ! Is it Italeri? I used HB kit. Now i started 1/35 with the conversions but will do in yellow again 😉. Still some stuff to be done for interior. I use dedicated Bilmodel USCG paint set but must wait for the new (bigger for 1/35) bottle of yellow as i used all for jayhawk and HRP-1 banana. And some woks on interior in 1/35 Edited April 5, 2022 by stakor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyArty Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Looks like you are off to a good start. I would recommend starting your own separate post on the build though. They could get lost in this tread. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
