- SH-60 Seahawk
The Armycast.cz resin
One those bits is one the wrong side, they are part of the colective and must be on the left of both pilots
Drilling and cutting
It looks like I've cut too much and there is a correction to make
starting to change some parts
The "joystick" is a bit like a plane, so I've build them new heads, remember to cut them because they are too high (see the red arrow)
Changing the panel, but do dry-fit it with the glass, you may have to reduce it a bit
Working on the pilot door
Reduce the side door thickness
Use the door to align the pilon
Cutting door glass and remove wipers
Adding texture to the pilots chairs and stretchers for the small chairs
The rebuild joystick and new colectives
Mask and spray those stripes on the floor like you've never seen an airbrush, to give the non-slip floor look 😉
Now I don't want to put the celling and close to hide all of this 🙁
Meanwhile let's work on the rotors
Accidents happen, but one thing is sure: in case of future accidents this Blade should be the only one that is sure to endure
And now the scary part, gluing the two half This time progressively in three phases from tail to nose.
Thanks to "Robertas Vasiliauskas" and "Austin K" for this detail, I didn’t notice that the kit blades were the army version, and had to cut them to the Navy style
Even using the kit out of the box this detail i'll look better
dilemma: As I am a large paws I bet I'll break the antennas if I glue them before painting. On the other hand if glue them after I'll get some CA glue spots and paint less homogeneous
So me and my friend with the helmet build some rigs in Lego and now only touch the model as little as possible, let's see ... First a thin layer of color base and then the shading of the panels
It may not be very clear but in the Seahawks the gray underneath is lighter than the rest (some instructions do not show this and others show a 3rd darker gray on top)
The old trick to avoid a hard transition between both gray
The rest is the mask and paint, mask and paint, mask and paint ...
Next color: Black
Here is the metal detector
I know that making masks is really boring...
... but I think it gives a nice touch to some details
Scorpion placed and now let’s seal it and give some light weathering
Applying oils - Only with a fine brush through the lines and wiping a few minutes after
Here is how I have led and glue the wire point-by-point (and it’s 6 points in this one ) A clamp to make weight and “Lego†to give the right height and guide the wire to the right spot to glue, then put a bit of CA, wait and go for the
I was going around and around trying to make the very small covers of the air intakes until I came up with this simple idea: Paint sculpt paste and when it’s dry, but not totally hard, just mold it in place
Finally, with its base
Finally, with its base
Finally, with its base

ole mollerare you a micro surgeon?some outstanding work in 1/72 i would never try to attempt it at that size
28 January 2013, 22:08
ole molleryou are truly a mad man,do you always work in 1/72?or do you go wild with 1/48?lol
29 January 2013, 11:16
ole mollerwell what else can i say,using needles for barrels at this size is genius,and the blade repair is awesome,though i tend to use pins snapped to size,i`m doing a biggish job on a 1/24 plane and i struggle with this size and you seem to relish in it,fantastic

Robertas VasiliauskasHi Vitor,
pilots seats is in bad position (need push to forward), also yuo need cut rotor blades tips. Model contains army style blades.
29 January 2013, 14:45
Vitor Hugo SousaThanks for your comments guys.
*ole moller: 1/72 is my scale, maybe one day i'll try a rotor on 1/48 (if I can finish it)
* Robertas: Thanks for your sharp seeing, in fact the seats are to far back, as I'll open one door i thought I could put them a bit back as they are on rails, but seeing again real photos now I see they are a bit far.
Now what do you mean with "cut rotor blades tips"?
I've been comparing with photos and didn't understand it

Fernando RipadoBom dia. Muito bom mesmo. Onde arranja o Alclad e Mr. Surfacer em Lisboa?
28 March 2013, 10:20
Vitor Hugo SousaOs que comprei foram on-line em lojas de Lisboa, ou na zmodels.pt ou na vlmodels.com.
Mas creio que a casa Antunes no CC do Martim Moniz também terá, é ligar para lá. Aqui fica uma listagem dos contactos das lojas físicas em Portugal forum.modelismo-na.n..t=14542&start=90

Wim van der LuijtI especially like this comment of yours after spending so much time on minute details "As I am a large paws I bet I'll break the antennas if I glue them before painting" 😄
Great project!
