Straighten up and fly right.....

I got the AH-60 DAP Blackhawk from MRC and the cockpit detail is pretty good! I actually bought the Cobra detail set for the interior and I was UNIMPRESSED by the detail set. I will sell it to anyone who is interested for half the price that Cobra is offering it.


I may be interrested in taking the CC detail set off your hands. Contact me via e-mail and we can work on a deal.

Really? What didn't you like about it? I'm using both the CC cockpit set and Eduard interior detail set for my Pave Hawk; not because the kit needs one, but because I wanted to push my skills to get to that next level of detail and I love the results so far. I'm taking my time becasue I've never worked with resin a/m parts before but I've been very pleased with the results. My only complaint is the all the dust left over from sawing/cutting off parts Big Smile [:D]

How BAD ??????? How Good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have built THREE of them and i can say a big DITTO. The MRC AH-60L DAP would have to be the most favourite kit of mine to build.

Ditto. I haven't seen the Panda Huey kit, but if it's anything like their F-35s, then the MRC interior is a dream by comparison.

I'm working on a Pave Hawk and there's a DAP in the pipeline. You can go without the interior detail sets and be fine.

MRC/Academy kit is great. The update set is not really needed. The best part of the update set is the pilots doors with interior panels. If you don't plan to build the doors open, it is not needed, or you could add the door interiors yourself, they are not that hard to duplicate. The kit instrument panel is just fine, plenty of molded on details. The kit is highly recommended, I have built a couple and love it.

Here is a review on it too: http://www.internetmodeler.com/2001/april/first-looks/acad_uh-60l.htm

Happy building.

Ok.. so how bad is the cockpit detail? Is it as bad as the insulting thing they give you with the panda uh1kit? Does it really "need" the update kit?
