Something A-10 style for the cockpit doors and something more sturdy for the troop doors.

w/ lot o lift and thrust extra weight is not an issue.

Still some building to do. Not quite ready for paint. I've been meaning to make wire cutters for a while now and now the boarding ladders etc. I have a couple A-10 parts around. We shall see what happens.

take your time as details matter and it'll be worth it.

I painted the underside camoflage grey. It turned out pretty nice for a brush job. Pactra gloss grey will be the top color. I have to find something inbetween for the sides. The search is on.

I figure stubby hawk will give me a oppurtunity to go all jungle on it.
I have to get on with the new rotors too. So much to do....

Three tones of grey, dark on top, maybe a ghost grey in the middle and light grey undersides. Something like the Marine Corps helicopter pattern with a little more definition. Took a break from it to do the Coast Guard chopper carrier. At least that will be white so easy choice there.

can you send a teasing hint of the progress.. :thumbsup:

kerick

Boarding ladder problem is solved, I need touch up painting there. Wire cutters then complete the paint job. Not a lot of progress until the USCG chopper carrier is done. That won't be too long now. Next big thing for the super blackhawk will be the rotor system. Some thing completly different and no hints. You will just have to wait like all the other kids!
