Wrlss911Pro Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 Hi All, Sorry about the quiet period. Not a lot to update and I have been really busy with, you know, life. Here is where I stand with my MH-60S: Decals going on. For those of you building this kit, the decals are too thick - standard academy. Lay in lots of Micro set and Micro Sol, lots and lots of micro sol. After the decals have dried I have been going back and trimming out fil. so lots of sharp #11 blades. Oliver, you should be good in that respect! :-) I ended being happy with the cockpit hatches. Let's see how I feel when I mount them. Here I am really please with the Eduard PE kit. I am excited to weather the main cabin doors. Overhead Starboard side The belly of the beast. I know the cargo hook is backwards. I just don't want to dig it out. I have some touch up painting and some more decals to place I have also started the rotor assemblies. Once I have remounted the canopy, I will seal it in flat and begin weathering. Cheers, Paul jgrease 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrlss911Pro Posted February 28, 2018 Author Share Posted February 28, 2018 I am so disappointed in this kit. really poor fit, especially with the canopy. I ended up buying a second kit just for the canopy. On the up side, the Eduard aftermarket PE set is amazing. I am about to wrap it up. I am considering building the second kit pretty much OOB. I might add the extra Eduard PE though. I really like how that worked out. Did I say how much I liked the Eduard PE sets? LSP_Kevin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamfists nz Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Don't the Navy ones have the rear wheel in a different place? shark64 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrlss911Pro Posted February 28, 2018 Author Share Posted February 28, 2018 Don't the Navy ones have the rear wheel in a different place? On the MH-60R, yes. On MH-60S, the airframes were essentially built from scratch for the new variants. All glass cockpit, hardened systems and the rear wheel was moved.

Wrlss911Pro Posted March 8, 2018 Author Share Posted March 8, 2018 (edited) I am calling this done. Very frustrating build. I am so, so disappointed in fit. Not being able to fit the canopy correctly just wrecked the build for me. I have finished, but I am going no farther with my planned diorama.maybe the next one. Here are the final pics. I used the shapeways printed hinges for the rotors. I still have a little touch up paint to do and a mask to remove on the canopy.

Wrlss911Pro Posted March 11, 2018 Author Share Posted March 11, 2018 Here it is after final mask removal, paint and weathering. I am going to do no more to it. LSP_Kevin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
