Pedro 66 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Hi Guys, I hope you like the next images. Some would say I have an obsession with the Pave Hawk, I'll let you decide. Here are my 3 Pave Hawks, the Academy 1/32, Italieri 1/48, and Dragons 1/144. The big ones needed guns fitted, and other bits, and if you think I'm making the guns for the 1/144 scale one, think again! I've posted pics of the 1/32 one, so won't bore you again, but there are closer images of the 1/144 and 1/48. The 1/48 scale one needs extensive mods, especially flare and chaff dispensers, which were scratch built. The gun mounts and ammo cans are scratch built too.

Pave 8 by tonyrichard24759, on Flickr Now these took some building and time, but look OK. Pave 10 by tonyrichard24759, on Flickr You have to make decals, or raid the decal stockpile and hope it looks OK. Pave 11 by tonyrichard24759, on Flickr Walkways were made with decals, again.

This is the tail rotor of the 1/35th scale Pave Hawk on top of the rotors of the 1/144 scale Pave Hawk. It just goes to show how big or small both are!!!

Canalguna Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Boy, do these choppers have attitude! Which kit did you use for the 1/48? I have the Italeri Mh-60K hoping to be finished half as yours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro 66 Posted June 2, 2016 Author Share Posted June 2, 2016 Hi Canalguna, I used the Italeri MH-60. Its a good base, but needs some work. The interior walls are shocking, you need to add quite a bit to beef it up. I also remade the straps on the fuel tank, again out of the metal container of a tomato puree tube. Close up you can tell. They tend to look after their helicopters so they don't get too beat up, although when you see one close up they are sealed together with mastic, and depending on the gap depends on how much they use! I'm sure you'll do a great job and look forward to seeing yours. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
