I finally have some down time to
submit the all new Hobby Boss HH-60H Late Version. This was a relatively
easy kit to put together. Some minor issues though, the dashboard in the
cockpit is too low, needs to be higher. It covers about 50% of the windscreen on
the full size version.

It took about a week to build, and a day to paint
and put on the decals. This particular HH-60 belongs to HS-7, currently attached
to the USS Harry S. Truman CVN-75. I used Dark Gull Grey (Model Master
1740) for the entire fuselage, it is a great match for the full size version.
I decided to make the main rotor spin with a modification to the main rotor
spinner. You have to trim and sand it to make it move freely, plus a few
drops of oil to get it going. The tail rotor is stationary, couldn't figure out
how to spin it. Oh well!!!
Not sure what to make my next
project! Enjoy.
