what-if : The new Advance UH100 Black Hawk Stealth
« on: July 23, 2020, 03:27:59 AM »
I decided to play with the idea and came up with this. The logic is not too far from what we see today. hope you guys like it.

First of all, I must say that the Italeri,UH-60/MH-60 BLACK HAWK 'night raid' 1/48 scale kit, sucked big time. Maybe it was my bad luck but the fittings has one of the worst fittings I have ever experienced. Not only that, but the instructions was so bad. Thank goodness, I was not trying to duplicate any particular prototyp model, which would have been a disaster. At the end, things were so misaligned that I just had to improvised, to hide certain areas. It helped, but only to an extend. So forgive me, if certain areas do not look that they have a perfect fitting. But, that was the best I could do. The engines rotate, for take off and flight mode.

Anyways, here is kit-bashed, modified, with a little scratch building involved, which resulted in this 'UH100 Black Hawk Stealth design. Hope you like the results, regardless of the difficulties I have had trying to put this build together.

Looks like something right out of a computer game. "Call of Duty: 2035" or something like that. Very cool!  :smiley:

Unique look to it.  Am I counting correctly as to it having four engines?

That's an excellent piece of work! :smiley: :smiley:

Black & no markings makes me think CIA Black Op's. ;)

Any flaws in the build have been successfully hidden. Bravo! :D

Charles - I don't see any less than perfect areas - the whole model looks great!

How did you achieve that graphite or metallic black sheen?

I'll echo what's already been said: Fantastic execution! You'd never know that you had fit issues with the donor kit.

Thank you for your comforting words. Glad you like the results. As for the weathering. This is what I did:

I used Citadels Black primer from the can, which is also the main color. So in short, I just used the primer both as the primer and base color. Then I dried brushed the body with their Grey color, called,' Stormvermin fur' color. Again, I dry-brushed it on with several layers, very very thinly. Then I dry-brushed it again, with Citadels Leadbelcher silver color. I used Tamiya Brown panel wash, in certain crevices and panels to get more depth from the all black. This is the closest I could get it to not looking completely black and uninteresting. I do not use an airbrush. But I will be trying out a cheap one just to get the hand of it.

Great technique! LIke Frank said, it has a graphite sheen to it  :smiley:

Love the overall look too ... but it looks especially cool with the outer nacelles rotated forward  8)
