Collin Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 HHM-774....Out of Norfolk Naval Station right (they have -22's now). Think I just found the scheme I will be doing for my Phrog. Nice to see green...real USMC green. Cheers Collin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dutch Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Dave, Beautiful. I always did like HMM-774 "Wild Geese." Are these in 1:48 only, or will there be a 1:72 sheet also? (Please.) K/r, Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites

K/r, Dutch There won't be a dedicated 72nd sheet, but all of the options will be spread among 72nd sheets featuring other aircraft, similar to sheets 72002 and 72003.

Bulldog 09 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Yes!!! It is about time we got an up to date sheet for the CH-46. Thank you Dave, outstanding work as always. Dave Fassett Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Okay! I will keep my eyes peeled. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you Dave, outstanding work as always. Dave Fassett I started drawing a sheet back in 2008 when stationed at Cherry Point, and after multiple visits to New River on the weekends. After 13 years, I'd say it's time! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jabba29 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) Thanks for the info Dave. Question, have you ever though of doing a Op D Storm sheet of Marine aircraft in 1/72? A lot were done straight after, but a lot were inaccurate and better research of today has produced some much better sheets. Edited May 18, 2021 by Jabba29 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I already have all of the Hornets and Prowlers drawn, as well as Intruders from VMA(AW)-224. Just need to knock out 533's Intruders and all of Sheik Isa is covered. I'm a member of several squadron groups on Facebook and they're a gold mine of reference photos and help, so covering the Harriers, Skids, HMM and HMH squadrons correctly won't be too difficult. 49 minutes ago, Tank said: A correct Echo in 1/72 is needed.

YF65_CH53E Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Looking good Marine. Time to break out my 1/48 Battle Phrog kit r/Gunny Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tank Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Dave, That would be fine too. For ease and support, it would probably be better to have a part that slides over the D sponsons then to hack the D sponson structure off or print the full fuselage side with the sponsons already attached. Course if going that far, a clear one piece fuselage would be the way to go. Kinda like the Profiline/Special Hobby MD-500, than you only need to mask the windows when painting or remove for guns. http://www.hyperscale.com/2017/reviews/kits/sh72346reviewbg_1.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
11bee Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Any good references out there that detail all the changes these helos went through with regard to defensive systems, antennas, etc from the 80's through OEF/OIF? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tank Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 None that I know about off hand. It did appear the ale-47 that where on top of the sponsons was added behind the main landing gear for four total. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway, if you can find it, this little Modeler's Guide is pretty good, with lots of USN & USMC photos and detail shots from the 1980s & 90s.
