O K, I'm officially tired of waiting for "Little
Bird" to hit the shelves. As cool as it promises to be, "Little Bird" just isn't
going to be adequate to my unit's needs anyway. It'll be a great support
aircraft, but my troops need air TRANSPORT...something big enough to carry an
entire squad!
W hile
these 1:48 scale MH-60K models I've been working on are really cool for
photographs, they just aren't big enough for the level of detail I want and of
course my troops can't actually fit in them). I obviously can't afford a 1:1
size helo (it'd be too big to fit in the driveway anyway) and the custom 1:6
scale ones are similarly waaaaaay beyond my already stretched Joe
budget.
S eeing
the pictures of the 21C display Black Hawk have inspired me. Enough of this
small potatoes stuff!! I have decided to scratch-build my own 1:6 scale MH-60K
helo for my troops. If you are interested, I will keep you all posted as to my
project's progress and take an occasional picture along the way. I figure by
announcing my intentions to all of you I'll HAVE to follow-through, instead of
letting another one of my half-baked projects clutter my garage and gather dust
in some forgotten corner by the lawn mower. Uh, oh...forget I mentioned lawn
mower...the lawn doesn't need mowing THAT badly, does it?
A nyway...I'm starting
today and I'll post step-by-step updates and pics on the project on the
sixth-scale group if Eagle doesn't have any objections.
