Sorry I'm a little late in this Group build, I just came across it...I just finished up a USCG HH-52 yesterday, I will post a picture of it as soon as I can...I think I took some build photos of it if so I'll include those also.
The photos of the aircraft and helos are old builds, I figured to send something along for the moment.

bsyamato, I have not decided on any any mods yet. I have several in mind but I will decide once I get to that portion of the build.
As for my new name. I felt I had to change it to de-associate myself from another user of the same name in a different forum.
JMart sometimes i'm totally out of head dunno why but i read airfix and raf and automatically i read in my mind "sea king" and the rescie raf seaking are totally in yellow ...
rtoo speed makes ugly results, too relax don't make results
Echo – Great job on the cockpit. Learning a lot of good info on helos…
Bsyamato – I will be building the airfix close to the box art colors… what do you mean ‘yellowed”?
Rotorhead – Don’t forget to add me to the roster! I hope to start work in a few once work slows down a bit and I clear some benchspace.
This is a review of the kit; any input and suggestions are more than welcome!

EDIT - I think I now know what you meant by "yellowed":

this type?
Thank you Rotorhead and bsyamato. I think the cockpit was actually the easy part. LOL
Rotorhead, thank for the heads-up. I had no idea the tail, or rotors are no longer folded; I came pretty close to cutting the tail off. I would love some pics of the rotor head since that is where I am headed next.
Thank you again!
yep, i see the good work of Echo!!!! instead i can see your pictures post before RotorHead, i see the message picture unavaible.
Echo (joeviz was not good as nickname?) some mods on the kit? This is the first skunk work kit i see
The seabat actually stopped for others projects on deadlines, but need to get control on the layers i did on, also i see some exterior details is missing on the kit, some tubes etc.
I was finally able to get started on the HH-60 Jayhawk.
Below is the halves prepped with light blue crew interior and black cockpit base colors.
The crew deck's non-skid and the cockpit are pictured below.
light coat of flat paint was added, a second light coat will be added before weathering.
a light brownish dusting was added to the deck to represent used deck.
Thank you for looking... More to come!
medicman, I say yes. They assist in guiding resources to people in peril.
i dd some disaster an high weight fairey gannet sitting on the seabat rotor ... and modified the rotor blades number:
in mind to modify the rotor details but not in this way no pain at all, two metal rods and some drill will resolve.
Jmart nice to hear a yellow seaking coming (or will not yellowed?)
Jmart, jump on in! We'd love to have your launch. I have seen some great builds of that kit.
RororHead has been a bit busy but he will soon catch up and add you to the list. In the mean time welcome aboard the SAR build.
Some nice helo work; do you still accept entries?
Soon I will start the Airfix 1:72 RAF 63ft Rescue Launch. Will that build qualify? cheers
RotorHead10Yep. Got a little boy coming. Late November. So I've been wrapped up in baby stuff lately. Just need to find some time to get building
my best wishes for the coming little boy
RotorHead10 don't care about absence what do you mean with "Got a baby on the way as well" , you turned into father?
brief update
this afternoon i used the putty and sanded lots, tomorrow counting to strike the first paint layer
Oh, and congrats on the future costie!
Welcome back rotorhead, thanks for the pic offer.
i could use some pics of the over head both the cockpit and crew space.
I am hoping I get a long stretch of bench time in a couple of weeks. I will post WIPs then.
Some nice work going on there! Sorry I've been vacant fellas.. working night shift from 3 to midnight takes a toll after a while. Got a baby on the way as well. Think that cockpit looks good, you should see the sweet baby crib going up. Promise to be more active. Think I'm going to start fresh with a new kit. Just don't know which one. That skunk model CG 60 looks good. Only thing I don't get, is it seems people go overboard with panel lines. 139er, if you want some more good exterior shots let me know, and I'll get them to you.
more updates on seabat the cockpit finished i think a mummy and without bandages (naturally i night passed on) and the more problematic piece: almost if you want to see all outtakes opened. all was covered with tiny flashes that's all

the cockpit finished i think
a mummy
and without bandages (naturally i night passed on)
and the more problematic piece: almost if you want to see all outtakes opened.
all was covered with tiny flashes
that's all
the first updates on the seabat: Not spended too many hours to do a perfect finish paint in, i planned to close all door, then when all closed will be hard to see great thing from out
just some retouch and a black washing before to close halves
that's all for this night folks
day for supplies yesterday!
heres first pictures of the italeri seabat ,the kit is really nice and good low price.
I builded two years ago the british version of same kit, then i will have no surprises from this. Only critique is on decal sheet, really poor of stencils and the absence of the fuselage seats, on the other kit variant was included
alredy glued pilots seats , the two office walls and the main rotor
mainly this build will be an oob, after the amodel ka-18 and the airfix scout this one will be a relaxing build
hope this gb will fly soon, thre's lots of intresting and unusual build that could see in
hope to see soon the h-60j on
bsyamato What happened here? No wips?? i'm still waiting the shipping of my hss-1 with other kits

I know right. This GB is off to a very slow start.
I am trying to get some bench time believe me. I am itching to get building my H-60J. Its going to be a while before I can get to it though.
Yeah tried to use my camera on my phone....didn't work too well. Promise better pics soon. Just moved into a new townhome so my hobby/mancave is still WIP.
great scratch but the picture is too blurry try to get picture less close (if your camera don't have macro option), and crop the wished zone with a free program like xnview, a good picture cataloguer/viewer
it's a sin to not see a good scratch work as this
Quick shot of the flight control mixing assembly with boost and pilot assist servos.

Medicman71 Cool. Cause I have a O-2 Skymaster like the one that was used in "Bat 21".
Cool. Cause I have a O-2 Skymaster like the one that was used in "Bat 21".
Acctually I can't use that as it's too far built to count. I do have an OV-10 Bronco, an A-10 Warthog, and soon to have a N/AW-10 Two seater if thoes count at all. If not that's cool.
