Hey Andres go check out the final pics for my SH-60B with your designed rotor head on the kit. Printed well and looks fantastic on the model.

Any chance to get the tail fold STL for my next ocean hawk?

Andrés Fernández Lucena Auteur
Hi Frank! I did not expect to see that so soon, and so well done!
Sure I'll give you that STL, and another one I'm working on for the horizontal stabilizer hinges. I have not printed those yet but expect to try it soon so I can tweak them if needed before sharing.

it looks very nice (I must say do not know the difference between the K75 and K100 😛 )

Andrés Fernández Lucena Auteur
Neither did I! I found the differences along the build process...motorbikes never sparked my interest. Since I built it however I've spotted a few of these around my city.
Thank you for your comment Spaanjard!

K75 is a three cylinder k100 is four .

Thank you all for your interest!
@ Finn it is the Italeri kit of the Mi-24 Hind D in 1:72. It is somewhat old and has an odd mistake in that the main rotor turns the wrong way. But it has a nice outline and reasonable detail, and looks like a Hind.
There is another thing I found annoying, the cockpit seats are excessively wide. I replaced those with some spares from the Hasegawa Seahawk I'm building along, with an added headrest for the pilot seat and some belts.

Thanks Andrés

This sounds like it was a difficult kit. The result, with the camouflage is beautiful. It feels artistic.

Muchísimas gracias Andrés por la info! Lo tendré en cuenta!

Good looking with this old kit.
I would like to succeed mine as well as you.
Thank you for sharing

Very interesting... Even with some necessary assumptions and "educated guesses", this was a worthwhile project you undertook and brought to fruition (twice!) - thumbs up! 👍 👍

Andrés Fernández Lucena Auteur
Thank you! I felt pushed to build them as my friend had spent a good few hours trying to get references for me...and I had to do with what I had.
So yes, far more "educated guesses" than usual for me. I have become used to having references for almost every subject...
Maybe some day a better picture of the real thing will appear, who knows.

Bozo
Did you take pictures of this one. I would like to see your job. Many thanks.

Andrés Fernández Lucena Auteur
@Bozo, I took some pictures but forgot to answer you. Here they are:

Sorry it's rather dusty and I was rather unsuccessful when cleaning it before the photos. And it is so small that the dust specks seem BIG in comparison 🙂

Wow, that is some serious scratch work, well done! The cockpit looks great already

Spanjaard
missed this one before, great job!

Andrés Fernández Lucena Auteur
Thank you!!

Mr D
Like it😁👍
Nice work, very detailed for a 1/72
I didn't the Tamiya 1/48 and doesn't look as detailed this.
Very nice 👌

Bozo
Very nice result with this old kit

Andrés Fernández Lucena Auteur
Thank you! It might be old but I found it very nice to work with. Detail was nice all over and it fit really well. Raised rivets are, I think, very appropriate for the subject, as the real aircraft is festooned with them...

Bozo
Good looking, white painting is always hardful.

Great job!
