Pete Fleischmann Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 Hey all got the “stuff” underneath the pilot seats installed. I know you’ll never see this stuff- I didn’t have great references for this area of the Pavehawk; so I basically Made it up- anyone who’s built the Tamiya F-16 will recognize one of the electronic boxes cheers Pete GMK, Lenny320, dodgem37 and 15 others 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Fleischmann Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 (edited) Thanks all- started working on the gunners seats- some epoxy putty to rework the front, back, and add some seat cushions.. cheers Pete Edited April 21, 2020 by Pete Fleischmann LSP_Kevin, A-10LOADER, CZPetrP and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy! Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 One of the benefits of having to mask up to keep the “Rona” away, also keeps the dust out of my nose when I view this thread. Like it. You bought AK lately? Who from? Online? Seems hard to find to me. Timmy! Pete Fleischmann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Fleischmann Posted April 22, 2020 Author Share Posted April 22, 2020 Hey all- small update- lead foil harness straps. The helmet/bag is another outstanding Reedoak item- cheers, Pete Lenny320, dodgem37, blackbetty and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much of my time at the bench is spent thinking..and moving bits of gear around until the arrangement looks believable. cheers Pete No words my friend. johncrow, Pete Fleischmann and CZPetrP 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Hey Pete, maybe I missed it but how did you make those snap links used in the aft cabin and what did you use for paint to replicate that blue / red finish? Great stuff here, looking forward to more details. At some point, I plan on building one of these as just a standard UH-60L from OIF, just gotta scrounge up a set of intake dust filters. I'll be using your build as a reference (as I'm sure a lot of people will be). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi John, the carabiners were pretty easy- I took some .025 lead wire, and wrapped it around a half-round section of Evergreen rod. Wrap it around and around like a spring, and then push the wraps up against each other while still on the rod. Then take a blade and slice through the wire wrap longitudinally along the rod on the flat side of the rod. A carabiner for each loop around the rod will magically fall away.. they were anodized by painting them with clear Tamiya orange, blue, and red. I left some bare metal as well- HTH!
