Hawkwrench Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I have 2 of those reskit heads, though VERY nice in detail, it looks like the spindles are molded in flat pitch and not the 8 degree up pitch. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Fleischmann Posted March 9, 2021 Author Share Posted March 9, 2021 Hello al- While I’ve got the basic rotor hub and individual blades in a jig drying one by one, (blades are removable) I thought I’d noodle a bit with the pilots for the MH-6M... This should look pretty familiar- cheers P LSP_Kevin, johncrow, Harold and 10 others 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why it wouldn't, but you may have a blade cuff connection to the hub issue. Tim Landrotten Highlander 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkwrench Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 (edited) Pete, you ever thought about using the Operational Camo decals from Crossdelta? I'm leaning more and more toward trying them on my figures. The camo pattern looks dead on.

Hawkwrench Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 This guy went about reriveting the H-60 model a whole different way. He used .3mm soldering balls and glued them into the recessed rivet holes on the model. It looks really good, but wow those are some small balls of solder to glue in!

Starfighter Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 That's our own Fancherello by the way! He reckons the method is rather quick and easy taking into account you also have to spend time filling and sanding the existing recessed rivets... scvrobeson, Uncarina, Mr Matt Foley and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
