Hawkwrench Posted October 23, 2020 Author Share Posted October 23, 2020 Pete, the Night Stalker black is really just 2 parts MM acrylic Army Helo drab and 1 part MM acrylic interior black. I imagine MRP NATO black and helo drab would work just as well if not better. Tim Pete Fleischmann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) I'm a big fan of MM Interior Black for 160th subjects. It's a a hard to explain sheen about it that does a good job of replicating the paint on the real thing. Of course, given the way their helos weather, it's just for a base coat. Glad I bought a couple of bottles before MM called it a day. Edited October 25, 2020 by John1 Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkwrench Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 Tonight I finished up the upper transition area of the MH-60L. I read where flying leathernecks offered a 1/35 ALQ-144 so I bought it and put it on. The wiring was 2 short pieces of 020 lead wire. I drilled a 1mm hole and pushed the wires thru and glued them underneath. I'm pretty happy with the way it looks! Here's what I'm after: And here's what I've got: Comments welcome!

Uncarina Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 (edited) Nice! I’ve been eyeing this product this for my Apache. How will you replicate the reflective coating? Cheers, Tom Edited October 25, 2020 by Uncarina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkwrench Posted November 22, 2020 Author Share Posted November 22, 2020 Got a little bench time in today before work. All the seams look cleaned up and added the nose radar mount onto the fuselage.

Hawkwrench Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 A little more done on the MH-60 tonight. The top doghouse was a tight fit that needed clamps to get it down fully onto the fuselage. It's definitely not as good as Pete's helo, but I like it. Comments welcome Happy Thanksgiving guys!

Tim Tim, I would wait to glue the rotor mast since it appears you still a good amount of work to be done on your kit...so it does break while handling the helo and also easier to paint without it. its looking good.

Hawkwrench Posted November 27, 2020 Author Share Posted November 27, 2020 Oliver, actually the head is just setting on top the gearbox. I just wanted a good pic of it so I placed it there temporarily. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
