Marks CH47-A STRUTS and WHEELS

Mark.....

Have you gave any thought to cutting off thin sections of round styrene tube that just fits over the gear struts you made......adding some detail to them?

I also wonder if there are any 1/48 scale aircraft that might have landing gear struts that just might work as well???

Hey Troy!!

I'm still working on my Hook and it is looking great!!   It's a very fun project.   I removed the left front emergency exit pannle for the left gun station yesterday. After cleaning up the edges on the pannel and the opening,It looks perfict!!   I am wondering something though. Do the crewmen carry the pannels with them on fights or do they leave them back at base??  I noticed that there are many interier markings on the decal sheet but there is no guide to show where they go. :(  Sucks!!    I'm working on the interier at the moment and I can't wait to get started on the troop seating!!   I am waiting for my sheet styrene I just order fron Squadron. I am undecided how to have the seats dissplayed, down are folded up for internal cargo??   Lets hear some votes from all you Hookers out there to help me decide!! :)    OH yeah!!   I just finnished sanding and filling the nose and removeing those antenna post mounts. I don't recall seeing them on the A and B models.    When that D model is finally released I plan on getting one along with an A model and doing a CH-47B from Nam that was named Wild Thang.   Do any of you know this Hook?? 

Later
