Hay Gino,

Thanks for the heads up on these, were any other figures mentioned as well?

Cheers

Kylie

Nope, these were all that were announced.

More pics of Live-Resin's upcoming HH-60G crew and GIBs.

Live-Resin has its new modern helo crew figures available. They include pilots, USAF door gunners, a USAF H-bar Fast Rope rig, and three PJs/SF Operators for the back. All the sets look awesome.

The pilots are wearing AIR WARRIOR SYSTEM (PSGC) vests, HGU-56/P helmets, and contain cyclic and collective grips as well.

The H-bar fast rope set is an older USAF style used on MH/HH-60G Pave Hawks.  It was replaced with the FRIES (Fast Rope Insertion/Extraction System, Army type) starting in the mid-2000's. All USAF HH-60Gs have the FRIES bar now.  It is not appropriate for US Army MH-60Ls.

The three PJs/SF Operators include two seated and one kneeling figure.

Looks like the forthcoming Kitty Hawk HH-60G will also come with a pair of pilots. They look pretty nice.

Great ongoing summary of releases Gino. Thanks for the work.

Reviews of the Live-Resin H-60 crew and SOF figures for the back. These are awesome figures. I highly recommend them and the other Live-Resin Helo crew and GIBs (Guys In Back) sets.

Def Model has a few Modern USMC pilot sets coming.

They are two standing pilots and two seated for the academy AH-1Z Viper.




Full News Story

Gino, thank you for keeping this thread updated.

This latest news is just what I've been waiting for, a set of seated crew for my Viper.
Would you know or could you recommend a set of seated crew for a Whiskey NTS Cobra?

Unfortunately, there are none that are accurate for seated USMC pilots. The issue is the helmet. USN and USMC helo pilots use the HGU-84/P helmet.



The standing USN/USMC pilots by Reedoak have this helmet, but no seated figures.



They also do two separate helmets; w/and w/o visor cover.


If you take the helmet from the Reedoak figures and place them on a seated figure, you will be good.

Live-Resin:

Here are a couple of the Live-Resin pilots painted up and installed in the Kitty Hawk MH-60L cockpit by Roger Encarnacion. They look really great.

Here are the two pilots out of their recently released HH-60G kit. They look really nice.

I really like the Live Resin ones but don't like the face shields

You can get the Live-Resin pilots heads without the maxillofacial shields and use them. They fit the figures perfectly. They come with or without the shield down.

Damn!!! That's what I'm talking about!!!

These are pretty good. I bought a set. However seating them in my UH-1N was a 'mare especially with the armoured seats. Had to basically butcher the entire seat to get them seated in the cockpit! Relieved that you can only see them through the front 'screen lol

The Live-Resin pilots/crewmen are a little on the burly side.



Reedoak, Dragon, and Bravo-6 pilots/crew figures seem to be closer in size to the Kitty Hawk pilots/crew.

Live-Resin has just announced a bunch of new modern helo crewmen. They look really nice and should be on the same level of excellent detail as their previous pilot/crewmen/SOF sets. I like how these pilots have the seat belts molded onto them as well.

They include two pilots listed for a USAF HH-60G. They would work in any H-60 Hawk model though.



A set of pilots and 5 different Operators for an MH-6M MELB Little Birds.

They come in two different combo sets with the different operators included.




Each of the above crewmen comes individually or in the above combo sets.

They are also showing an updated cyclic and collective control handle set as well.


Here are all the listings with pictures of each figure.
