Great articel Joe. The PaveHawk came out looking awesome. Good job.

It just blows me away Joe. Outstanding!

Chuck

on the HH 60 the model shows the center consoul extends into the cabin area

is that the way its supose to be

i know on the UH-60 L it stops even with the storage boxes ont the back of the pilots seat

Yes, that is where the controls for the extra radios, chaff/flare launchers, and some other mission/type specific equipment for the MH/HH models are housed. You can see the extended console below.



Here is an HH-60G full walk-around as well.

Joe, congrats man on the fine build and excellent well written article. Almost makes me want to give choppers a try! cheers Kevin

Gee.... Joe, that's a very nice article.....
Thanks for writing it.

Hi Joe!

Great feature and awesome model! The interior detail is as always top class!

This is an awesome build Joe. Great article too. Congratulations!

Heavy thanks for the info

Joe great job

great build and all, but, just so you know, the pitot tubes are on backwards.

Nice build Joe but the only thing that bothers me , is that you would hardly ever see a USAF 60 with the blades folded. The blades have to be
manually folded. The reason I know I'm a ex H-3 / H-53 / MH-60G crew
chief. In fact retired.

Thanks all for the complements, it was a great little kit to build. I have plans on doing a few more now that Mike Grant has a new decal sheet out on the 60B series.




Paul thanks…not sure why that happened, must have been one of those late night oversights. Hey we all make mistakes and over look something from time to time. I was able to remove them with out damage and place them in the right direction.




Hey Don,
Thanks….here is a sentence out of a MH-60G Pave Hawk book,
I’m sure with out doubt they are, in fact most of the pics I’ve seen were just as you said. See I was inspired by (2) photos of a Pave Hawk rolling out of a C-5 Galaxy, but mostly I like to folds back the blades on the Helicopters to save space on the shelves. I’m also working on a 1/35 Pave Hawk which is about 20% started, I plan to fold her up as well.
