Eventually after a little more than a year of work I finished this helicopter.

A big THANK YOU to all the fellow builders who followed my progress and supporte me with their comments.

For those who didn't follow my progress in the WIP thread, the model is Academy's 1/35 MH-60G Pave Hawk. I used Eduard's PE-set, Cobra Company's resin update, some scratch built detail, putty and A LOT of patience to get her done.

Enough words, here are the pictures:





















Hope you enjoy the photos.
Comments, questions and critiques are welcome.

Very nice; congratulations!!!

the pictures on imageshack do your model justice

Looks great Klaus. I knew it would come out awesome. Good job.

Very nice build. Great attention to detail, and a prime feature of this model is the 'scale color.' I don't know how better to explain it, but the color looks quite authentic for the scale. Black, as we know, is not really 'black' as such, but a shade that matches and compliments the mechanism that it is applied to. The center of the rotors is a good place to illustrate this. You got it really right. Great build.

Thanks Drablab, Gino and Matt!

Regarding "color-scaling", it's something I do consider, so your comment really pleases me. I always try to pick the color that "looks right", non necessarily the exact FS-match.

Very nice build.

Thanks Narn08!

Superb job, Avus! Well done. It makes me want to pull mine out of the stash and get stuck in to it.

Thanks, Graeme!
As I stated before this kit requires a lot of patience besides the usual modelling tools!

its a nice chopper you have there

Thanks Robby!

Very nice... I am thinking about getting a pavehwak kit, but I have enough on my plate as it is lol...

Thanks Marpat!

Super build Klaus, why no ejector chute on the mini gun


Simon

Thanks Simon!

No chute because not all have it. Actually most of the Pave Hawks in that period (around 2003) didn't have it. At least that's what I figured out looking at pictures.
