My 1:72 MH-6 Conversion
Posted by mpabis on Sunday, August 21, 2005 3:08 PM
Here are a few pictures of my 1/72 MH-6 conversion that I just completed. I started out with the Italeri AH-6 Night Fox kit that I picked up at the Nationals here in Phoenix last year. This was the first ever conversion that I undertook. I added all the goodies that I could find in pictures or from some friends that work on the birds at Boeing. They were a great help with info on the helicopter.


I actually added more parts than I used from the kit. The conversion was completed with brass rod and styrene. I added a FRIES system to sides of the fuselage and a bunch of antennas found on the helo. Since the entire helicopter is painted in light black, I chose to stick with it and painted it all Testors Aircraft Interior Black. Detailing was left to a minimum with only a little dry brushing as all the pictures I can find show little if any wear on them.

I hope you enjoy.

Looks pretty good. Pics are a little too dark and not really close enough to see detail. Good job from what I can see though.

You say it is your first time scratch-building the detail? I would say this is outstanding result you have there, especialy for this scale! i like the pic with the coin ))))
