Groupbuild anyone ???

Would love to, but too many things on my plate....maybe in about 6 months? :)

Trigger74,
Your talking about the guys in Chattanooga? I heard they may have did a Bosnia rotation. Who knows, they may have deployed to Iraqistan by now. There is a 60Q here at drum right now. Probably for Phase type maintenance. They spend a lot of time doing show and tells, drumming up support for the Q in DC, as dollars are in great demand these days. I was part of the active duty guys who worked with the program, and have lost touch with those guys when I left Ft Campbell in 2000. Its a way cool bird though I'll say that. Would make a nice conversion, or scratch built interior on the 1/35 UH-60s

Yup, Lovell Field. I remember that it was a long time ago when they first got here, thanks to our Representative at the time (The Army Aviation Facility was renamed after her for that). I saw one once at an airshow here, even snagged a Dustoff patch and sticker, but I rarely ever saw them flying around. haven't seen them in a while and was wondering if they were still around. You're right, a 1/35 Dustoff Hawk would be pretty cool to see.

Is your signature pic an HH-60L? I've never seen one and that pic looks different from the UH-60Qs that I've seen.

I'll be on board for a July start. I'm limited some with my camera for good close ups though.
By the way anyone know of a good low cost camera for the detail shots.

Trigger 74, I was at one of there airshows. Had the Blue Angels and some Jet powered truck. I was standing around showing off the Q.
Yes the pic is a production version of the Q taken during field testing at lovely Ft Campbell, Ky. Initially I thought I am the hoist operator in the pic, but after a good close look, we have decided that its not me. But since Ive done much of the same and probably from the same bird, I used the pic.

Mog

LOL!!!! That's the same one! The Blues started flying here in 92 and we only had shows every other year after that. Then the Thunderbirds started flying here in 98 and the Q didn't arrive here until spring of 93. That jet truck was here every year. Jayhawks and stock Blackhawks are always here but a Q stands out. It was either the '94 or '96 Airshow. I probably asked you questions about the chopper and someone from your crew was selling patches & stickers. I've got to search for pix of the Q I took - you might be in one of 'em!

Should we move this thread/re-start it in the new Group Builds section?

So... we're starting this groupbuild this weekend?

I'm sorry but I won't be doing this GB!
Mainly because I still coudn't get the PE kit I'm looking for. The kit is Eduard's UH-1C Armament kit. I need it because of the ammo chutes for the minigun.
I'm also very busy at work since I have to complete my thesis for the 15th of July!

Trigger74 maybe you should post a topic in the Groupbuild section.

Hi guys, this WE is the WE, we start building on this bird...

And yes, we'll move over to the new section.

Sorry to hear that you're not in it, Avus, I guess, mailorder is not always as relyable as we would like it to be....
