easixpedro Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 I was going to post this link: DVIDS - Images - LITTLE YET FIERCE (dvidshub.net) but realized it's the one Tim just posted. Posted it anyway if you want to register and download a higer rez pic. But DVIDs is your friend--the repository for all the PA photos from DoD. While I normally search through individual service's webpages for PA photos, DVIDs is sometimes better as it's a conglomeration of ALL the photos, including the ones that don't get 'published' or released. A good resource if you're looking for photos of things from the last decade or so. Totally a rabbit hole, but for me researching a project is half the fun!

Ordered another Little Bird that has the figures, and a set of figures for the Blackhawk. I'd like to do a big Blackhawk Down diorama with all 3 at some point, so I'll definitely be following this thread with interest. Great job on your figures!

Pete Fleischmann Posted April 18, 2021 Author Share Posted April 18, 2021 (edited) Hey all, test fitting here... The Black Ops bulkhead, seats, and instrument console look like they’ll work with some adjustments. I was also concerned that the pilots outboard feet might interfere with the windscreen, but I think I’m ok. I’m trying to identify any fit issues now and address them before I start doing any detail work. I wasn’t sure if the instrument console would interfere with the windscreen- looks like I’m good there too. you can see the Blu Tak holding the instrument console in place. The base of that is a little short- it should come all the way back to the seat bulkhead-I’ll address that too- pressing on- the pilots feet are separate parts. I may turn their outboard feet in just a smidge to be sure- cheers Pete Edited April 18, 2021 by Pete Fleischmann dodgem37, Out2gtcha, Landrotten Highlander and 17 others 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvrobeson Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 I think the left-hand pilot's left foot needs to be turned in a little bit, but it looks like it should all fit for you. Excellent progress, you're certainly not resting on your laurels after finishing the Pavehawk. Matt Pete Fleischmann and Derek B 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oppenheimer Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 looks like you will have to cut and twist the tail rotor pedal to fit into the crew boots, the feet on the figures go to forward from the kit pedals position Pete Fleischmann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy! Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the AT-38B have tandem seating? Also the nose is slightly more pointed. Timmy! Pete Fleischmann, Derek B and easixpedro 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troy Molitor Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Anti torque pedals. . I remember vividly getting schooled by a Civilian instructor pilot while at Fort Rucker. Those aren't rudder pedals, candidate! You don't need to roll into a turn and apply rudder pedals! I had a several hours of fixed wing time before I got to Fort Rucker. We pulled pitch the first day of flight school in a good old UH-1H. All the ARMY trainer helicopters were retired prior to me getting on base and we pulled pitch the first day in a good old Huey. Loved flying that thing. I always wanted to fly the Loach however, never had the chance. UH-1H, AH-1's and OH-58's all in the Guard. Lovely efforts going on here Pete. Your passion shows in your work. Great pictures! D.B. Andrus, Derek B and Pete Fleischmann 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easixpedro Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 You and Timmy!s bantering about seating brought a memory back from the depths... Flew with a guy that got yanked from flying duty as a LT to go be an aide for a 4-Star. Said 4-Star was a Vietnam era Phantom Driver. Whenever they flew anywhere (commercially or via the Biz jets), the LT had to sit one row back, i.e. tandem, as the pilot 4-Star was NOT going to let a navigator sit anywhere that appeared side-by-side. My response is that side-by-side is the way God, Orville and Wilbur intended... But I digress, back to Pig's build!
