NEW ITEM: 1/35 MH-60S rotor fold hinges
Posted by HeavyArty on Wednesday, September 23, 2015 1:38 PM

I have recently been working with fellow modeler Matt Leese (who does CAD) to master a set of rotor hinge fold parts for Academy's 1/35 MH-60S.  The kit parts are molded solid in the open position. These parts will allow you to properly fold the main rotors as in the below pic.

Matt has just completed the CAD and placed them up for sale at Shapeways.  I have ordered the first set and hope to get them soon.  I'll let you know how they come out.  The CAD looks awesome.

Here is the link to them at Shapeways:  https://www.shapeways.com/product/KHMTSLN2J/1-35-rotor-hinge-for-mh-60s-academy?li=shop-inventory&key=4a2e101d73ba7e5a515487ad82eb4aac

"Where the hell did that wrench go????"

Gino, the possibilities...

For instance, 1/48 aircraft props with pitch control.

 

Thanks for posting!

I received the rotor blade hinges from Shapeways today.  They look great and fit the kit parts perfectly.  They also work just as the real ones do.  Excellent job by Matt on making the CAD for them.

Here they are.

They will look even better when painted and have all the hoses/wires added.
