Chinook landed in CA today

Leave it to a model builder to look at a sack fruits or vegtables come in and see "troop seats"!  You gotta love it!  Oh, that pattern in the bottom of my "To go!" salad bowl looks like the sound proofing in a 1/35 Heuy!   Ha, ha!

Clear Left!

Hey Troy!!!

You konw those red mesh bags you get oranges in??   I'm planing on useing those for the netting on the troop seating.   I have been saveing them for this project. They sure look as they will work fine.   

Thought I would share this with you.  Hope it helps. 

I sure can't wait to see some after market goodies for these two Hook kits!!

Mark

Thanks Frank!

Dang! that does not look easy.....Hope Cobra Company or somebody comes out with soething before May 06.

Thats when I will be starting my 1/35 Hook.....got one to finish and one other quick build for a April Contest.

Troy... here's some interior shots of the "A" & "D" Model Troop Seats...

"D" Model (below)

Take care,

Frank

Is that seat back net pattern really that involved on hooks and where they all the same from A to D?

Thanks!

Mark,

I figure it is about 1:10th scale... Not sure how many of these were built, but it is an awesome model!

Gino congrads!!   I'm happy to hear you got it!!

Sorry guys, I saw that BIG Hook!!!   WOW!! that thing is amazing and HUGE!!  I wonder what the scale of that monster is!!

I sure would love to have one of those!!

Mark

(wheeew... good thing, Mark would have a Med Meltdown if he saw that!!)

Take care,

Frank

Holy swashplate! 

That thing is amazing!  It looks like something Boeing Vertol had made for foreign governments to ponder over and drool.

Congrats Gino!  That's awesome.  You guys are all reaaaaally tempting me, but I think I'm gonna wait for the 48th Italeri kit to come out.  Just about everything I've got here is 48th now, so it'll fit right in.  How's THIS for a Chinook model?  (that CH-34 under the nose is 72nd scale)

I need one of those in my office, but it would take me twenty years to build!

It IS a nice model isn't it?
