VH-60N presidential helicopter
« on: May 13, 2020, 03:06:34 PM »
Just opened the box for this conversion kit. It is a Hawkeye Models conversion for which I am using a Hasegawa Blackhawk as the donor aircraft - 1/72nd scale.
Onward and upward!

No unless your making a zombie to go in it. Sorry you're too late.
It would make a rather large diorama though.

Can you make a diorama to show it flying with the zombie getting pushed out? Now there's a cheery thought!!

An interesting concept; but I think I will just stick to the helicopter.
Main rotors built so far. No point of putting a photo up yet.

Hi Chris,
Now you've started on the 'big' element, you will get increased motivation.
Look forward to seeing your build progress.
Cheers,
Bigkev

Slowly moving on. Here are the two modified fuselage halves. The new conversion parts for the doors and windows are in place with the modified glazing. Some details on the fuselage have been removed that were not requied. Sorting out the interior - not that it will be visible much.
