Not on an "A" model, pre NVG-compatible cockpits.  Up till late '70's to early '80's, standard cockpit color was medium gray, not flat black.

I'd like to point out that the cockpit color is wrong.  The entire cockpit, (soundproofing, consoles, inst. panel, floor, & seat buckets) is black, not grey.  Also, the landing gear is not white.  The struts & wheels are painted the same green color as the rest of the aircraft.

Hi Guys !!!

I hate that clear vacuform plastic junk.  I can't ever get anything to work right with that stuff!!!    Super glue turns it white and model glue dosen't stick it to well either!!

There's got to be a better material out there!!!

QUOTE: The whole front of Trumpeter's Hook is made of clear plastic so for changing the bottom windows and correct the upper canopy the whole thing should be substituted for a new one. Do you think CC can handle this?

QUOTE: QUOTE: Papa-Echo-64 Posted: 05 Nov 2005, 06:14:37.... Well....We can clearly se here what our good budy Frank was talking about. There is some work to be done with the upper canopy areas. QUOTE: marke followed up: What are you talking about??? The canopy looks fine to me. I can't see a differance. Help me out here.

Mark Not necessarily. If we were to follow your logic, we would have had the CH-46A, NOT the 'E'. Why the HH-53E? What happened to the 'A' through 'D'? So you see, Mark? The 'D' hook may very well be the first to be released and THAT is why you are not seeing the 'A' built up! Guys!!! That does make me wonder if the Delta will be the first to release!!! The brane is filled with wonder!!! Can't wait to find out!! Mark Reply Edit HeavyArty Member since December 2002 From: Valrico, FL Posted by HeavyArty on Friday, November 4, 2005 5:01 PM Gino P.

"1-6 is in hot" Reply Papa-Echo-64 Member since February 2003 From: Seattle Posted by Papa-Echo-64 on Thursday, November 3, 2005 8:50 AM Hey you guys! Yes that is the D version. I'm sure that the 'SHOW / display' Hooks that we have seen pics of ....were sent out with the D parts instead of the A. My source tells me that Trumpeter only made the Fans of the new 1/32 German rocket wait only a few weeks for two different versions....but rarely give options within ONE kit. I'm sure that this is still slated for 1st qtr 2006 Feb or March. I could be wrong. Straighten up and fly right..... Reply Anonymous Member since November 2005 Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, November 3, 2005 5:52 AM Definately a Delta and the blades are on backwords too!! Looks to be just an error on the builders part, you can't see it in these photos but in some earlyer photos of this same Hook,you can see that guy glued the top part of the rear ramp in place and has the ramp down. He definitly dosen't know the Hook to well!!! Thanks Papa for the new Hook pix!!! They help to ease the pain of waiting!!!! I preorderd one of these from Hobby link Japan in hopes of getting one before Xmas!!! They are gonna be availible there next month!! At lease that's what they say!!! You guys know how that goes to well don't ya!! Mark Reply Edit Anonymous Member since November 2005 Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, November 3, 2005 3:51 AM Looks good! But there are a few problems. First, it isn't a CH-47A. The giveaways are the blades, Engine intake screens with the bypass feature, the 'sqaured' off aft pylon and the HF antenna Second,from the photos it looks like whoever built the kit got the forward and aft rotor blades mixed up. As built the the rotor blades on that kit would rotate in the wrong direction. Also the cross section of the blades suggest a symetrical chord which would be wrong for FRBs All minor stuff, but it is NOT a CH-47A. Thanks for the photos, If this is to be their initial release then I will have to preorder a second one.
