Emvar Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Like the title says....... when would this happen in 1/48th. Cheers Emil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zerosystem Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Xtream Modelers Studio has said their conversion is complete and available for sale but I haven't heard anything about payment methods for ordering. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd stay away from that guy. His stuff is nice-yes, but a wee bit overpriced and has not fulfilled orders after taking some modeler's payments! Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Roof Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 What all is needed? While the decals in the line will always remain Marine Corps specific, our resin line will be branching out to cover a much broader range of subjects. I'm currently gathering information for a possible MH-60S conversion for the Italeri MH-60K kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zerosystem Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Others will have more than me Dave but in short, new sponson fuel tanks, radar nose (new clear nose section depending on the kit), refueling probe, flir, external pod for the side of the fuselage, forward rotor "pylon" is a little different, exhaust shrouds and lots of various lumps and bumps for sensors, flare and chaff launchers. MH-47G Vs CH-47F Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would love it if you or Floyd would start putting out sets for the Italeri MH-60K, especially stuff to bring it up to modern -60 standards. MH-60M nose, LASS, stuff like that. Wishful thinking maybe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Dave, there are two guys in this thread that would be happy with just the fuel tanks, to make a CH-147F. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If that can be downsized it would be sufficient for all other models with the large tanks.... including the Canadian F models. It would also be nice to see options for the conical engine filters and the Dust bin version along with the Snowshoe Skiis for the landing gear. Regards Emil Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skarpins25 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 I have just purchased the MH-47 kit from Xtreme Modeler Studio and cannot be happier. I have attached some photos below. The kit came well packed with no damage to the parts inside. The conversion has many parts (have not opened up bags yet) with no casting blocks. The sponsons are molded as a single piece with many small parts for the rest of the details. The are also a new set of blades and the front nose with glass is molded in clear resin. For those that missed the 1/35 version, you now have one in 1/48. Communication was excellent and it arrived quickly along with special gift. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hooker169 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Glad it worked out for you @skarpins25. Give us a rundown of the parts included when you get a chance. I know it’s been hit or miss when ordering from these guys so maybe a little bit about how you ordered and your opinions on the process. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

zerosystem Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 It was $100USD plus shipping. Pretty comprehensive but I'm still waiting on instructions. Most of it should be okay with reference photos but I'm just waiting to see where to make cuts for the sponson replacement. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skarpins25 Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 It was $100 plus $10 shipping to the United States. I did not get instructions either but he did sent 51 photos that shows all the parts as built. The can be seen well as they were cast in tan and the donor kit was green so they stand out and with what can find online, I think one should be all set. I honestly did not worry about as I have had other kits such as this and I was fine. As for contacting, just send PM from the Facebook page. It may take a day or two, but always got a reply even with asking many questions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doupnik Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Be very careful when ordering anything from this guy. I ordered and paid for his HH-60G set several years ago, and he gave me all kinds of excuses for delays and then he stopped responding to me. He recently apologized and told me my set was on its way, but never gave me any proof. And the set never arrived. It turns out a friend of mine was helping him with the MH-47 set and called him on the fact that he never sent me my set. So lots of promises that will eventually fall flat. Save your money, do not give any to him. mason Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scotthldr Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 I’d also be interested in the large sponsons and radar nose in order to build a -47SD. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
