Summertime always slow down build progress. In addition to that I kind of burned the candle from both ends on this quadruple blackhawk build...but it seems that finally I have sorted out the issues and the builds continue.

Thx Laurent & Finn.
Nice to have you on board Finn. I'd like to invite you to follow up on my 3 other Blackhawk builds too (I am doing my privat quadruple groupbuild here 🙂 ). Things going slow, but forward..... 😉

Thank you Ronan. Your comment is motivating. Doing 4x the same model (with only small variations) at the same time is more exhausting than I did expect. 🙂

As you might have recognized I had a little progress on this one. I just figured out, that maybe I was a bit too motivated to get this chopper primed - did not consider attachment of all the externals (antennas, pitot,..). So some adjustments are needed before continuing with the painting.

Welcome Ekki & Guy Rump.
I have to let you know that some patience is needed here as these 4x S70's I have started are only progressing at a low pace. 🙂

So - after a while here are the first set of final photos on my 4xbuild of Sikorsky S-70. The EUFOR version with aux. fuel tanks.
Thx you Roland for your time and patience & giving me some advice during the photoshooting. I hope to solve the technical issue with my equipment soon in order to follow up with pic's from the other choppers soon.

Thank you Ronan, Neuling, Guy & Matl.
Your feedback is balm on the modeler soul - especally on this Blackhawk build(s). It was quite a journey to get to the end. 👍 thx

Thx Bernd. As my equipment is on "sick leave" this pics are made in cooperation with Roland (thx btw).

Very nice finish and not often you see unusually marked BlackHawk 👍 My only complaint would be the cockpit door windows being bit dirty

Thanks Lukasz.
And unfortunattly you are right, it loooks quite bad - it was a sad experience to find out after demasking that I have somewhere overseen a path where sanding debris could enter the cabin. The rescue operation at the end by removing a glass was only partially a success. 🙁
