MH-60A DAP or Prime Chance Velcro Hawk
Posted by adrake2 on Thursday, August 12, 2004 4:11 AM
I've settled on a 1/35 MH-60A (recently completed a 1/35 MH-60L) but I'm stuck on two configurations with it. Either a Direct Action Penetrator or an Operation Prime Chance hawk painted grey like the Navy Seahawks. Anyway, I can't decide on which to build, so I'd like to hear other people's opinions on what they'd like to see.
Oh, before I forget, I'd like to say thanks to Avus for the decals and to Sal for the photo and information. Bow [bow]

I think that decision should be left up to you. Although I think you already have your mind made up, and just want us to reinforce your decision. Big Smile [:D]

So yes, i think you should go with the grey Blackhawk.

You're welcome, adrake2.

The Operation Prime Chance paint scheme is an interesting variation. I would do that one on my DAP if I wasn't up to make a BHD-Dio.

I think the Gunship Grey version would look pretty cool. It would dfeinitely be something different, I haven't seen one modeled yet.

Ditto on the Grayhawk. Big Smile [:D] That would be cool.

Well a moment ago I posted on a different thread that I WAS thinking of finishing my Kilo in that gray Nightstalker scheme - then I read this post! Thought mine would be all cool and unique! Banged Head [banghead] Banged Head [banghead] Banged Head [banghead]

Guess it's back to the old Helo Drab! Thanks Aaron! Wink [;)]

Nothing wrong with a sortie of Greyhawks.

I personally like the desert camo scheme myself. When i was in Saudi, i saw a couple British Chinooks done in desert camo, and they looked sweet.

I've only done the Euro I Lizard green scheme on a few Pave Hawks and the Army Helo Drab on the rest of my Blackhawks. A Grayhawk definitely would be a interesting addition to my Hawk family. After posting this, I came across a few pics of a Prime Chance Greyhawk fast roping SEALs onto a boat during a training exercise. The pics look like the pilot landed his MH-60A onto the stern of a SMALL tug while the SEALs climb aboard. If I can get a scanner working, I'll try to post the pics here. They are in a book called "Inside the Navy SEALs" written by Cdr. Gary Stubblefield and Hans Halberstadt.
