Did all Sound Proofing have the quilted pattern? I recall some just having a smooth surface and others just the "sofa look" with buttons. . .I am not kidding.[/qoute]
All -60's have smooth sound proofing and -47's mostly do now, although you sometimes see some with a couple of quilts hanging up. I think that the sound proofing started to change in the mid 70's so check references for Hueys and -47's. Can somebody confirm this?

Hmmm.... it seems I recall seeing a CH-54A one time at Rucker (way back in the day), with non-quilted sound proofing, and I've seen it in a couple CV-2's, but all the Chinook's I've ever seen have the diamond quilted pattern throughout.

I bought a product awhile back,(don't remember the manufacturer) that was made for the scale auto detailers. It is used to replicate hood sound-proofing materials.

Go to the store and look at the heavier foil used to seal up big cans of Planter's Nuts.
They usually have a pattern to them. Might be a possibility. Just don't take the foil off without buying the nuts, managers get cranky when you do that.

I know it's only rock and roll, but I like it.

Jeff,
Here's some material I used during one of my "Army Helicopter" builds. Although it's very basic, it creates very realistic sound proofing material that's pliable and takes paint well. You can use an existing soundproofing pattern to PRESS the shape onto the paper or foil, or, you can use a ruler and your fingernail to scribe the patterns.
Take care,
Frank

Never thought of that either. I'll have to look into that as well and see how it measures up.
Thanks!

Even better, have a look at food packaging. Cakes, cookies etc. The stuff that gets thrown away often has an embossed pattern on it, sometimes it's a scale quilt effect.
Also pill's, the ones on a vac formed sheet that you 'pop' out. i'm taking some now that have a 1/72nd size quilt effect, I only noticed the other day too!

Reproducing Sound-Proofing

Okay, so i'm sitting here working on the 'hook', when a sudden brain-storming idea hit me.
The biggest thing i dreaded about detailing my interior, was how on earth could i accurately replicate sound-proofing? With as much sound-proofing as there is inside this aircraft, i didn't want to go the route of having to scribe criss-cross patterns into separate pieces of styrene, and i couldn't find any cloth of any nature that would even come close.
The answer was as simple as looking out my window. My idea is to use window screen. I figured window screen is very pliable and would curve like i need it too. In addition, i could glue it to some super thin styrene and cover it with toilet paper that has been wetted with water and white glue. The "cloth" would cling just enough so that the criss-cross pattern would come through, and with a little dry-brushing, would really stand out.
Mind you i have yet to try this, so if anyone else wants to give this idea a try, please let me/us know what the results were. Include pics if you can.
Anywho, just thought i'd share.
Oh! Looking at the scale of the window screen, i'm thinking this would be applicable to 1/48 scale and above.
