Hey, folks, I've been sitting on an Academy 1:35 AH-60 DAP bird and accruing all the PE, decal, and resin extras to make the first helicopter I crewed at Fort Bragg from 1996-1998 in the Dustoff unit there. The problem is that while the DAP kit has all the sprues from the Academy H-60 family, it doesn't have the instructions for things like the rescue hoist or the other UH bits that I need to use to represent my old aircraft, 539.

Does anyone have these instructions, maybe in .jpg or .pdf format? I have searched online with no luck so far. Thanks!

Awesome - thanks, Gino! (I feel a little like a dope for not finding that myself, but will remember the link for other instruction booklets in the future!)

Good luck with it and be sure to post pics once you get started.

Here is a UH-60A Medevac I did a couple years ago using the Academy 1/35 kit, Werner's Wings Medevac Interior set, Werner's Wings decals, Eduard PE, Cobra Company resin bits, etc., etc...



You can follow the full build here.

As a matter of fact, I've been using yours and Norbert's (http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?showtopic=117822&st=0) for inspiration and guidance as I prep for the build.

I'm not in that league, but this is the first time I've gone all-in with Eduard and WW aftermarket bits, and I'm finding - so far - that the PE is more user-friendly than I'd thought. This is also my second time around the Academy H-60 kit, so I can anticipate the few issues it has (like the cargo hook box).

Pics will follow as I begin to make progress. Thanks for the support!
