I’m officially announcing the 2011-2012 Sikorsky S-70 Series Group Build! Rules are as follows:

  1. Group Build opens January 23, 2011 and closes December 5th, 2012.

  2. To enter, post a reply with your kit(s) of choice and all detail sets used. (example: Academy 1/35 MH-60G Pavehawk, Cobra detail set, Eduard Photo-etch set)

  3. All subjects must be in the Sikorsky S-70/H-60 family.

  4. Any aftermarket upgrade or detail sets are accepted.

  5. Limit 4 entries per person. For Dragon 2-pack builders: Since I love these kits so much, it will count as one entry if you build both included models completely OOB and include them both in your entry photo.

  6. When you’ve finished your build, post a picture of it as a reply.

Here’s the badge: Once you’ve entered, post it anywhere.

I realize it’s only been a few day’s since personman906 started this GB ;

I’m just a little surprised there hasn’t been a lot more participants joining up ???

I have a nice stash of [S-70] H-60 kits , I alway’s thought other modelers out there would have a few stashed away as well .

I would’ve liked to have built an Israeli H-60 with all those sensor’s added on but I think Isracast only make them for the 1/35 scale . I was shopping around on-line for prices on Academy’s 1/35 Blackhawk , about $65 , another $35 for the Isracast conversion and $28 for some pre-painted PE plus postage , It adds up to close to $150 . mmmmm , maybe ?

I hope more modelers join in !!!

Go to scalehobbyist.com, where you can get them for around $40, and about $8 or $10 shipping.

This is a long lasting GB! I have a lot to finish up in other GB’s but I wouldn’t mind building a Blackhawk or 2 for this after I get the bench cleared up a bit.

Right now I have a 1/48 Italeri MH-60K in the stash. I will probably get some aftermarket stuff for it. I will keep you posted.
