Hawkwrench Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Finally after years of wanting to know information about my friend Joe Pascetti's bird he crewed down in Mogadishu-Super 63, I have been able to befriend many crew chiefs and pilots who were there and was given many pics of OGS and their MH-60L's. Here's what I'm modeling: So tonight I finally started building it. First I had to correct the instrument panel and center console to represent close to what they looked like on the real MH-60L. The caution/advisory panel is located on the bottom left of the console on the real thing. KH's panel, though very nice, represents a later year panel and has the CA on the instrument panel itself. So I took and cut down and sanded the Academy part and shaved off the detail on the console and glued it in place. Next i shaved off the detail on the KH IP and replaced it with some PE detail parts from Airscale. Next came a little more work on the console. I added the parking brake handle and the chaff dispenser. Just waiting on some Archer rivets to make a circuit breaker panel and I'll be done. That's all for now.

Hawkwrench Posted May 27, 2019 Author Share Posted May 27, 2019 I taped up the stripes for the floor last night (it took me an hour) and when I went to turn on my CO2 tank, it was empty. What a wasted night!!! So I just went to bed! Tim Anthony in NZ, Gazzas, D.B. Andrus and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Williams Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 What is the width of the floor strips? TIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkwrench Posted May 28, 2019 Author Share Posted May 28, 2019 Dave, I used 2mm tamiya tape, but the stripes on the floor piece of the model are maybe 1.5mm? I didn't check to be honest with you. Lol Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkwrench Posted May 28, 2019 Author Share Posted May 28, 2019 I had these 2 cyclic sticks left over from a previous build. I guess they came in handy for this build. Tim LSP_Kevin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkwrench Posted August 8, 2019 Author Share Posted August 8, 2019 It's on hold until a certain aftermarket helicopter business completes a update set. (I'm part of that update crew, so keep an eye out soon for a cool surprise!!! Just sayin!) Tim otis252, John1, Out2gtcha and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
