I'm also working on another resin detail set coming out later to make the Kitty Hawk MH-60L into a regular vanilla UH-60. I still gotta finish up the rear of the console. I glued the radios on 1 to 2 at a time. Felt like playing with photoetch--YIKES! Sorry for the fuzziness of the pic. It was...

Finally after years of wanting to know information about my friend Joe Pascetti's bird he crewed down in Mogadishu-Super 63, I have been able to befriend many crew chiefs and pilots who were there and was given many pics of OGS and their MH-60L's. So tonight I finally started building it...

Here's what I've been working on for awhile. This was my 1st stab at a jet, but it's turning out ok. I'm no master class modeler, so it's not perfect. This is what I've got done so far. 20190314_002651 by Tim Hudson, on Flickr 20190314_002717 by Tim Hudson, on Flickr 20190314_002733 by Tim...

Sometime this month, Kitty Hawk is releasing a new tooled MH-60L Blackhawk helicopter in 1/35 scale. This is the 1st of several models of various H-60's going to be released. Floyd Werner from Wernerswings along with myself and several other H-60 aircrews have been instrumental in this new...

Just wanted to say I'm back after a long break. Life got in the way and my bench time got to nil. I get to model about once a week now. Currently I'm doing a veteran's build of a F-14D from VF-101 for a Navy buddy of mine and about ready to start a build of the new Kitty Hawk 1/35 MH-60L...

I spoke with Chris from Cobra Company and was told that he has shut down and closed effective December 31, 2016. For those that may not know, CC has some awesome looking detail sets for aircraft in many different scales especially helicopters. His H-60 detail sets were the cats meow! This is sad...

My family and I went over to Lunken Airport last weekend for "Airport Days" I took a few pics of some planes and thought I'd share them with you guys. The last one is a memorial to all who have died while service to their country. Tim

I live in northern ky just across from cincinnati, and wed night a storm system rolled through and dumped 4 inches of rain in 45 minutes!!! We're talking serious flash flooding. Well, when I woke up thurs morning, our basement had flooded about 7 inches from the storm water coming up through our...

I've got a question about sanding edges of tubing or rod. To get a flat squared edge, obviously the right way is to put it on your miter box and cut it, but how do you get that same flat squared edge when you can't use the miter box? Tim

Skinny Mike's pitot tube accident gave me an idea. What all modeling accidents have you guys had? Me, I spilled 3/4 of my decal softener on the table the other night. You wanna talk about quick hands!!! That was close. Luckily, no decals or modeling pieces were laying on the table. Tim

This is probably something new for you guys. The other night after sitting at the bench, when I went to bed, my right leg behind my knee and in to my calf was hurting. I didn't think too much about it. After another modeling night, the same thing happened. When I got up to go to work, my right...

Ok, I'm not gonna lie. My MH-60M build is not gonna get me any ribbons, and that helicopter ribbon is way cool and I want it. So here is my entry into the Helicopter campaign. And here is a screenshot of the official start time for the build. This is a 1/100 scale copter that I will be able...

I'm getting ready to buy some new brushes and I just wanted to get your guys input on what I should buy, what you use, and why. Thanks! Tim

I went to get my daily dose of MA yesterday, and the website was down. I started to have withdrawals after awhile. What happened? MP--did you trip over the power plug and not plug it back in? :bgrin Tim

Just curious as to why you build models. Is it for stress relief, just for fun, or for an upcoming contest? (or for a campaign ribbon) Me, I build strictly for upcoming contests (or at least try to build one for a contest) What about everybody else? Tim

I need some help. I want to use 1mm and 2mm styrene balls to replicate the rod end bearings on the flight controls for my H-60 rotor head. I've seen them in the net, but I've forgotten where I saw them. Has anybody seen them? Thanks! Tim

Anybody feel like slapping some choppers together? Tim

How about a chopper build for 2016. Anyone interested? Just throwing a bone out there for interest. No poll yet. Tim

Do you ever get aggravated while modeling? I've been looking forward to finally getting a model night so last night I got to model after the wife went to bed. I WISH I WOULDN'T HAVE STAYED UP AND MODELED! I tried to work more on my rear bulkhead on my MH-60M, but in the end I accidentally...

I don't know how to choose a poll from an android phone (newb here). What about a man cave campaign ribbon? No start or stop time, just post a pic of your man cave and get a man cave ribbon! I think that would be cool! Clear up right! Tim
