I would have really screwed it up. Thanks for answering my questions! Pete Fleischmann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Hi Tim- just measured the kit strut top half, recreated them in brass tube- and then added a longer telescoping lower section that mates up with the gear legs pushed down to their unweighted extension. I used the oleo strut attachment points from the kit and simply added them to either end of both brass sections. not too hard- cheers Pete Edited November 2, 2020 by Pete Fleischmann Greg W and Derek B 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy! Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 (edited) Pig, If it's not too late looks like you may want to add some damage to the roof of the helo. After the DShKM 12.7mm round cleaned that dude's grape, the round would prolly damage the roof too. See image to clarify what I mean... Model on Wayne! Edited November 3, 2020 by Timmy!

Hawkwrench Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 (edited) Looking better and better. 1 thing though: the fuel boom is a little bit too long. (It was pointed out by a HH-60G crew chief) that's why I mentioned it. Tim Edited November 3, 2020 by Hawkwrench Pete Fleischmann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
