impressive rotorhead work

Andrés Fernández Lucena Author
Thank you! Hope I don't screw it far too much when painting.
Forgot to say, if somebody is interested in the STL files for personal use, feel free to PM me. No guarantees given on accuracy, but hey, it's free! 🙂

Spanjaard
that is certainly a great offer, sure it was not just a few minutes job to create then 😉

Hey Andres go check out the final pics for my SH-60B with your designed rotor head on the kit. Printed well and looks fantastic on the model.

Any chance to get the tail fold STL for my next ocean hawk?

Andrés Fernández Lucena Author
Hi Frank! I did not expect to see that so soon, and so well done!
Sure I'll give you that STL, and another one I'm working on for the horizontal stabilizer hinges. I have not printed those yet but expect to try it soon so I can tweak them if needed before sharing.

Amazing work on detail! 👍

Rui S
Very well done 👍

Guy Rump
Great job! 👍

Frank Brzobohaty
Amazing work Andres, looks way better than my version. I love the addition of the strengthening plates on the belly great added touch!

Frank Brzobohaty
Love the rotor supports and clamps too.

Nicolas
Beautiful. 👍

Harry Eder
Fantastic! 👍

Dietmar Bogatzki
fantastic work 👍

Thank you, glad you like it!
Frank you're being too harsh with yours!
By the way the strenghtening plates are adhesive vynil cutouts. I printed in 1:72 the lower view of kittyhawks' 1:35 painting instructions and worked from there. The belly of the real one is FULL of these plates. But if you are displaying it on ground it's a bit of a waste.
The figure inside is by Reedoak. Those figures can't get any better.

Great work Andres. Congratulations. I have the Kitty Hawk in 1/35 to do the Armada Española version. I am no sure which one to do with this one. I have been flirting with the idea of getting a resin 3D printer for a while. What is your experience with Fusion? What you did with the rotor and the tail is fantastic. Is that difficult to learn?

Jose Miguel Rodriguez
Amazing work!!!!!

Hi, thank you first of all!
Sebastian, thank you for your words. Fusion 360 is a very capable software but I did not find it easy. There are tutorials out there that help a lot but what really help is to be consistent and to practice, practice and practice. You can see people around doing wonders with Fusion (check Britmodeller, there are a few people there that are experts), but to get there you would need lots of practice. It will be frustrating in the beginning, I won't lie. If you are determined to dedicate some hours to it before seeing results, go for it! It also helps if you have previous CAD knowledge but it's not really a requirement.

Ekki
Brilliant!
