Ocean Hawk
« on: December 26, 2020, 01:19:05 PM »
This is going to be an SH-60F Ocean Hawk using the Hawkeye Models conversion kit. I'll be using a Hasegawa SH-60B for the donor kit.

Rotor blades modified (angled cut of blade at the hub end) and rotor hub assembled.
Fuselage halves modified - chin dome removed, esm antennas removed and area filled.

Horror of horrors.
Just got onto adding the glazing to find the the glazing sprue in the kit is the incorrect one. It must have been for a similar model as two or three parts look ok, but the glazing for the cockpit doors and the parts on the sides of the nose are too small. Retrieved parts from an Italeri kit which are the correct size.
Next job is to make some moulds from the good parts in readiness for a delivery of some clear casting resin - hopefully in a few days time.
First time I've encountered a wrong sprue; I suppose I should have been wary when the part numbers didn't correlate.

The joys of modelling, can't you contact them for the corrext parts?

Thought about it but as the kit is Japanese and I did buy it some time ago I thought might be a bit difficult and take longer probably.

Fuselage largely done. No cockpit glazing yet.

Progressing a little with the glazing. Remoulded the fuselage side windows and cockpit side winows - now all mounted and polished. Results not bad. More glazing to be done yet.
