corsaircorp Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Hello Dears, That's the season…. Helixes for Spad and the Martian 2 grey ghost for Bill (in his private locker) 3 Lynxes for Crispin I cannot stay on the platform and see you guys havin' fun with your egg beaters Now The Flying piano is another private BM vocabulary Thanks to Crisp ! My first idea was this I have a Monogram and a Fujimi ones And still I'm fan of the Brown water Navy too !! But then, month ago, I started to collect some documents for this ! But more precisely, this one ! Now Here's the base for my work ! And the sprues ! Aaand this one A bit more sprues !! Dimensions look right for both of them But on the field of surface detailing…. BUT BUT BUT KH has missed the point and Matchbox win !! Look if Something is missing here !! And here's Matchbox ! In 1980 they already knew that an Anti sub Helo need some electronics and ASW spec !! Apparently now in the 21st century , the best way to catch a sub is using a stretcher !! Well that promise to b fun !! The Matchbox one will look like this !! I have the minigun, now just finding a M-60 or 2 since I need one for my O-1... I know, I told that I will not start another build but… Have a very good night Sincerely. CC 8 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Im liking the Kaman’s cousin, looks like kitty-hawk opted for a transport ASR Mode instead of Anti-sub ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Cousin, Yes, and I looked again, SH-2F should be an anti sub… HSL should be an ASW Sqdn... The MAD fish and the torpedo is Anti-sub warfare. Well the Matchbox internals will be a base of work for creating the internals of the KH one ! Now the funniest part will be the change on the engine deck... Thank for your support ! Sincerely.

corsaircorp Posted February 1, 2019 Author Share Posted February 1, 2019 Hello Dears, No modelling yesterday, it was Mem Sahib birthday, So Duck's breast in orande sauce ! And when it's out of the oven, it gave us that ! Taaasty, with the right sauce !! A bit of food porn is good from time to time ! And I know that our extra terrestrial friend is likin' that !! Today, we must to a friend's house for flapjack party !! See you later !! CC 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffreyK Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Beware of the (in)famous dog house issue of Kitty Hawk's -2F. They put on the larger dog house of the -2G model instead. Either cross-kit with the Matchbox or try and find this correction set: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/cobra-company-48062-sh-2f-correction-set--675166 Cobra Company resin is now manufactured by Mike at Lone Star Models. The interior https://www.scalemates.com/kits/cobra-company-48004-sh-2-seasprite-cockpit-detail-set--103438 and exterior sets https://www.scalemates.com/kits/cobra-company-48005-sh-2-seasprite-exterior-detail-set--103430 are currently available, but unfortunately not the dog house set...

corsaircorp Posted February 9, 2019 Author Share Posted February 9, 2019 Hello Dears, Thanks to @JeffreyK for the remark about the dog house. Now, I look about the difference, height look the same…. Then it pop in my foggy brain !! I noticed some details that are not on the -F Now I see ! Let's start the chain saw for the KH one ! And glue it back on its place, there will be some adjustments !! For sure… Then when I got the right shape… Here's a good pic of a -F I'll cut the other dog house… That way… Pencil marks ! Because this one will be a single engined one !! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsaircorp Posted February 9, 2019 Author Share Posted February 9, 2019 Let's have a look at the floors I will not try to fix the black one from Matchbox ! So I scratched one ! Now I must find some pics of the interior of the 2 beasts... Not too easy in fact, For the SAR one, I know that there was a minigun on one side and a M-60 on the other side... Here's a view of the sonobuoys launcher from outside... but the KH did'nt have it…. Promise to be fun !! Where did I jump once again ???? Have a great modelling time.

You're right, CC!! There is a LOAD of stuff on the walkaround section and we can copy and paste any of it into threads, Julien says. I think the section needs to be more prominent and easy to get to. Walkaround needs promoting! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corsaircorp Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share Posted February 28, 2019 Hello Dears, Don't want to be flogged again by @Courageous So I pay attention to my eggbeatters… Here's a typical wrong from KH…. The idea is not bad but if you follow on the peg, you put the bulkhead on the wrong direction…. Old CC did'nt fell on the trap !! Now we are in the USN Is'nt it ? So I can't resist that one… Always loved the Bosun… Must try it one day …. Now the internals pics Okay this will be fun and funnier !! The rotor head ?? Well, let me fight with the cargo bay first …. But I looked at the single engined dog house !! Okay Dears, more to come soon !! Sincerely. CC 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corsaircorp Posted March 30, 2019 Author Share Posted March 30, 2019 Hello Dears !! I received these 2 little fellas !! For my SAR Seasprite !! Moreover, I have a M-60 now ;;; What is worrying me is that they look really tiny for a 1/48 figure.. Will compare next Week Huh Tomorrow !!

corsaircorp Posted April 3, 2019 Author Share Posted April 3, 2019 Hello Dears ! Okaaaayyy Figures are right in the average size... Did'nt remember that I had so many 1/48 figures... More to come soon !! CC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matti64 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I think that yt is an unfortunate fact that some of the best detailed agttermarket figures. In 1/48 scale. Are grossly oversvcale. As a consequence, the best sized. And proportioned ones often look rather weedy. Just bear inn mingd that 2/48 scale is 1/4. Of an inchh to yhe foot or 6 .25mm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last scene in the movie wear Slim Pickens rides the bomb is probably one of my favorites. If I had to go in a Mushroom cloud, I think that would probably be the best way to go !
