Cheers Pete Actually I'm working on a MH-60L but the next might be a Pave hawk or Jayhawk depending on the time you will take to build yours LOL Pete Fleischmann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to hijack, (but...) here’s the scene stuck in my head. It’s like an ear-worm but worse! Figure a combo of these scenes— a Huey dropping of troopers in the Central Highlands in Vietnam. Would like to see if I can suspend it and toy around with the knocked down trees. if I can’t find a Dragon kit, I guess it’ll have to be the 1/48th KH kit. But bigger would be more dramatic. Awesome images (and ideas). If you are intending on going down the masochistic route anyway, there are still plenty of old Revell 1/32 versions available second hand at an absolute snap!

Pete Fleischmann Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 Once this project is done, I’ll get it off of my cluttered workbench and take some real photos- ...but these are some of my favorite angles- easixpedro, johncrow, Landrotten Highlander and 7 others 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncarina Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 If the devil’s in the details, that build is possessed! I just love how you brought those figures to life. Cheers, Tom Derek B and Pete Fleischmann 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokey Pete Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Put those angles in front of the right photo’ backdrop and you’d swear that was a real helicopter. I can’t praise it higher than that.

Pete Fleischmann Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) Hey all- pressing on with the rotor blades- Erosion strips and tip weathering roughed in.. bottom: And top: Edited March 26, 2021 by Pete Fleischmann Speling Derek B, misha71, Buster99 and 13 others 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkwrench Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 The blade weathering looks spot on. Don't forget the tan colored "spot" on the bottom of the blade. That is where the blade tiedown quick connect goes into. Tim Buster99, Harold, Rockie Yarwood and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Fleischmann Posted March 27, 2021 Author Share Posted March 27, 2021 (edited) Hey all- ...if you remember way back when...about a year and a half ago... I posted this image (in the thread on the figures) that was the inspiration for this build. I have this litho, and I probably look at it every day that I’m home- Its pretty cool- cheers Pete Edited March 27, 2021 by Pete Fleischmann chukw, Derek B, stusbke and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokey Pete Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Tell the truth now Pete. You’ve found a way to create a rotor blur on your model, and have dangled it in front of a photo’.
