                        More Pictures of Trumpeter CH-47D modeled to a MH-47D
                        Posted by theranddav on Monday, April 9, 2007 9:57 AM

                        I waited like everyone else for the Trumpeter CH-47D to come out and when I finally got one I wanted to add some much needed detail to it. Being a fan of Spec Ops aircraft I decided on making it into a MH-47D.  I figured this would be easier than trying to make the MH-47E version.  Before anybody says anything.....I know that Trumpeter did not do the best in making everything as accurate as possible when it comes to the pylons, canopy, etc... , but I enjoyed doing it, and besides...I just won first place for it at an IPMS contest.  The pictures I do have of the construction are not the best and I lost most of them when our hard drive got fried, and the two finished pics are from the show. I will try to take some more pics and post them soon.

                        Looks great.  Would love to see some more pics of it when you get the chance.

                        OOh my goodness...this is a masterpiece. Incredible detail work. I am a modelmaker by profession, and some years back built some engine suppressors for this bird. I was going to incorporate some some scratchbuilt ones in scale if a 47 ever came out in 1/35 scale. Do you have detailed photos of the interior and cabin that I could have copies of, or other reference documents of some sort that would be relevent to pursuing this?

                        Regards, Dan

                        P.S. I also have built I.R. suppressors for the OH58 and AH-64..testing on the Apache now at AATD.

                        Unable to get more pics taken last night due to minor camera problem.......batteries died......but stayed tuned as I will take care of that problem tonight !!       Pretty amazing that one can spend alot of hours putting together something complicated like this helicopter, but can't take 2 minutes to make sure I have fresh batteries in the camera to take the pics.

                        That is one great set of pictures, theranddav; I especially like how you done-up the interior, fantastic job!     May I display some of these on my modeling website?    Email me.

                        Thanks again,

                        Great job there!!  Now you've done it.  I'm all fired up to go take on my MH-53 conversion.  What did you use for the tubes to handle the expended shell casings?
