Pave Hawk Done

Posted by Avus on Saturday, June 13, 2009 11:38 AM

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 (first set):

Very nice job Klaus!

That's an amazing Pave Hawk you've built. Now if I could only build mine to the same quality...

Great job!

Avus.....Im sure you will have seen these pic as well...but just in case.

Just hope they arent to big....keep forgeting to scale down . They are some of (if not) the oldest Hueys in the world now , good old New Zealand, we just keep them going and going.

Cheers
