Welcome to the HH-60G Pavehawk Replacement / CSAR-X Group Build.
The clock is officially ticking! But not to worry, the end date will give ample time for participation by all.
[Rules:
- The topics or entries are not limited to the airframes currently competing in the actual CSAR-X competition, rather any possible airframe that would/could be be a replacement. Forget about costs, we're taking about anything you could dream up. Pave Phrog, H-53, Helix, Hip, V-22 (arrrgg), Super Frelon, whatever. Just make sure it's outfitted and optimized for SAR and CSAR. Oh, and thy name shall begin with Pave.......
- Time will be 23 April 2006 through 23 February 2007. This is a long time, but we've got a lot of rotorheads on deployment and we want to ensure they're provided ample time.
- Paint schemes are what ever you want.
- Markings must be USAF, Air National Guard, or USAF Reserves. You could include the manufacturers markings or logos if you'd like.
- AM, PE and resin all allowed. Any detailing you'd like.
- Any scale. (except 1/1)
That about does it. The main thing is to have fun.
Here's the original post over at the Helicopter forum where we discussed this idea:
