Anyone known any 1/35 resin kit of MH-60's cabin roof?
I'm modelling a 1/35 mh-60 and I saw photos and kit's cabin roof is poorly detail.
Thanks

Nothing out there in resin. Check out FSMs Helo forum for some scratch-builds of detailed roofs. Also, the roof is usually covered by soundproofing and looks pretty bare, with the exception of the pan under the tranny. Eduard's PE set for them includes a PE piece for this as well.

Here's a pic of my work. More details if you follow Gino's hint and check on FSM.



If someone has infos on my question (what in here?) answers and pics are always welcome.

Here's my latest one.
You can see the detail in the front of the door frame as well. Eduard's PE couldn't really show the depth.



This also shows the rear of the door frame. Rivet detail is there on curved fuselage support and rear bulkhead but doesn't show up well in the flash.



This is the Eduard cover-nice enough, but not quite the depth I wanted.



Might as well show the rotor head. Eduard's PE piece for the bolts just didn't stand out enough. Added a few other bits and pieces as well.

Klaus,
It looks like you're off to a great start. I've made a composite of the area you need. Have more if you need them.

Your interior detail looks great, not to mention the rotorhead.

Thanks for the picture, that's exactly what I was looking for. Could you send me the other ones, too?

Klaus,
Glad to be of help. PM me your email address. It'll be easier that way. In fact, just send me your postal address. I finished this particular project a few years ago and don't need the photos any more.
