Tyrant05 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 So I had been waiting on the kit and soon as it came in I have began working on it. All was going well with the build until I saw the work Pete had done to the ceiling and I was inspired. So I started butting mine and began cutting and filing away. Ceiling is about to the point of primer coat, just a little more sanding left. Originally I was breezing through the kit and it just wasn’t feeling “right” to me and while to cabin door area was nice, it wasn’t as grand in the flight engineer seat area.

Pete Fleischmann Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Outstanding! So cool to see another-60 coming together! I like the new crew seats- hoping Floyd Werner does them in resin someday- would be a cool scratch building project though- looking great! Can’t wait to see more! cheers Pete Tyrant05 and Rockie Yarwood 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrant05 Posted April 12, 2020 Author Share Posted April 12, 2020 I may have to ask Floyd about them. I think it looks awesome set up that way and it eliminates the need to hang from the roof. Honestly shocked reedoak or live resin haven’t already produced them. Rockie Yarwood and Pete Fleischmann 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markiii Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Well alright, two Pave Hawk builds to follow. I want to dig into mine, but will have to wait. Just ordered some stuff from Live Resin and have WW's decals ready to go. I'll be following. Pete Fleischmann and Tyrant05 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrant05 Posted April 12, 2020 Author Share Posted April 12, 2020 Cabin floor and cockpit work progress. Debating how to add the removable armor floor panels. Experimenting with the dry brush technique to add wear to cockpit floor and door openings to show some serious wear and tear associated with operations on the bird. scvrobeson, Landrotten Highlander, LSP_Kevin and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrant05 Posted April 20, 2020 Author Share Posted April 20, 2020 Having to work on the Kitty Hawk as I can. Picked up a great task of building an academy pave hawk to make a retirement gift for a buddy. More updates will come I promise.

Tyrant05 Posted September 17, 2020 Author Share Posted September 17, 2020 Making some slow progress while I wait on the academy kit to dry. Loving this little project as I feel I’m pushing out of my comfort zone. johncrow, Rockie Yarwood, Uncarina and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrant05 Posted December 17, 2020 Author Share Posted December 17, 2020 Sorry for the delay gang. Been a minute since an update. So I am still tinkering away at the build as I wrapped up the retirement build. Then decided to play chicken with a hydraulic machine and lost. Here are some update pics. More progress on the cabin ceiling and the cabin floor. For those debating attempting what I did, if you enjoy modeling, I don’t advise it. Luckily fingers are beginning to start working again and just the tip of my ring finger is still in rough shape.

Out2gtcha Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 OOOOOOUCH!! That looks incredibly painful just looking at the X-ray! Looking good on the Hawk, and hopefully things will improve enough to get it knocked out. Tyrant05 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking good on the Hawk, and hopefully things will improve enough to get it knocked out. It smarted. This build is one I am enjoying. Most of the down time I spend doing research on what I can do to make it look better. Wanting to recast some more resin FE seats that are the current generation type (sliders not hanging) and then scale them down to this kit. But thank you for the kind words. I appreciate that and happy holidays to you. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark64 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 The Blackhawk is getting a lot of love on many modeling sites. Great work going on here. Tyrant05 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockie Yarwood Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Lovely work on the Blackhawk, and glad you are on the mend. That x-ray makes me cringe! Cheers, Rockie Tyrant05 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
