tiking Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 First of all, I must say that the Italeri, UH-60/MH-60 BLACK HAWK 'night raid' 1/48 scale kit, sucked big time. Maybe it was my bad luck but the fittings has one of the worst fittings I have ever experienced. Not only that, but the instructions was so bad. :( Thank goodness, I was not trying to duplicate any particular prototyp model, which would have been a disaster. At the end, things were so misaligned that I just had to improvised, to hide certain areas. It helped, but only to an extend. So forgive me, if certain areas do not look that they have a perfect fitting. But, that was the best I could do. The engines rotate, for take off and flight mode. Anyways, here is kit-bashed, modified, with a little scratch building involved, which resulted in this 'UH100 Black Hawk Stealth design. Hope you like the results, regardless of the difficulties I have had trying to put this build together. 26 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard E Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 The offspring of a Blackhawk Helicopter and the Drop Ship from "Aliens", a fantastic paint finish and the sit looks "right". Like it a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey-1980 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Really like your build and especially the use of inner ear headphone buds as the air intakes for the rotating engines. Really nice! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 And I thought I was the only one who'd thought of that. I have some in the spares box for future use. Drat! Anyway, I love the build, Tiking. A great kitbash, and well done for taming the Italeri kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
