Does anyone know of a Am company that has better detailed 50cal guns for the ch-46?
The Eduard ‘interior’ Photo etch set I ordered has detail updates for the 50’s for that kit.
Here is the scale drawing of the 50 cal sheet:
Hey Troy, that’s a nifty looking PE instrument cluster! [:D]
Take care,
Frank
Yeah!..
Eduard is coming out with these new ‘pre colored’ p/e sets…I will get mine soon and I will let you know when I get them and post some better pics!
Sorry about that drawing…evey time I try to get the URL addy of a particular section of the sheets I still get only this page[?]
The EXTERIOR sheet is what I’m placing an order for today! GET THIS!
It has cool details for the ROTORS!!
Can you post a link to the update for the .50 cals? When I clicked on the site, it only showed one page and it was of the landing gear, engine exhaust, and the sponson detail…Thanks!
Belay my last…I saw the site with the PEs for the XM-218s…AWESOME!!!
Glad you dig it dude! [:D]
I want to break out my Phrogs!!![:D]
So did MRC get it wrong when they wrote ‘FROG’ on the box lid?
Yep…but we’ll let it slide since they made a pretty good kit.[:D]
I think Academy’s ‘FROG’ refers to “bullfrog”
Whikle the machine is known sometimes as Winnie the Phrog.
Where the heck did PHROG come from anyways?
Cant wait to start my Phrog. Got ALL the Eduard sets for it! Color PE interior and Cargo bay seat belts, and the Exterior. Bootiful!
Now I’m just waiting for them to come out with the Labrador, so that I can make another one!!
Don’t forget Chris’s Cool resin set from Cobra Company!
I should get mine today!
Shark…did you notice the ROTOR details on the Eduard exterior set?..pretty cool huh?
How do those color effects look?
The color panel is just amazing, and YES the rotor detail…
I just need to build my PE skills first!!
The Eduard stuff is so nice though, thin and “bendabla” and pliable. The kit even came with the entrance door.
Have figured that I won’t need the Cobra Company one, since the Eduard one is good enough, but I am in the process of ordering the CC SH-2 Interior!
I gotta stop buying new stuff[:D][:D][:D]
Today on my door step was the following Eduard PE for my CH-46E:
Full interior set with colored panels
Full Exterior set
and a full cargo seat belt set!!! woohoo!!! I am rolling in PE!! I got so excited ordering PE for this bird that I accidentally ordered the interior Zoom set as well!!! WHOOPS!!
But what is this resin set you are all talking about?! I got my CC ready to roll, anyone have a good link?!
Shark-41:
The term Phrog came from the view of a head-on shot of the -46…looks like a frog sitting on a lily pad (lily pad being a ship). Since I doubt any military member wanted to nickname the aircraft “frog” they changed it to “Phrog”. The -46E upgrade, with stronger engines, beefed up transmissions, rotor heads, drive shafts, and larger fuel sponsons was nicknamed the Bull Phrog upgrade. But since the Marines outfit their helos with more weapons and transport Grunts, the name has become “Battle Phrog”.
Semper Fi!

Ya gotta stop showing this stuff, I’m spending way too much money already!
Swanny…that’s the fun of it.[:D] I’m going broke also…[:p]
that is a cool lookin’ PE set for sure!![tup]
The interior and exterior sets are in my wish list, so when I get closer to building my Phrog, I’ll be putting in the order for them. May have to take a look at some of the resin bits as well, I really want to do this one up.
Lemon: Are you going back out with 1/6?
