I think she looks grand ER! Of course I'm quite the fan of "hawks." What kind of weathering you planning? Since it's a Seahawk she probably has some salt damage to the body.
 
Re: Hobby Boss 1/72 SH-60 SeaHawks

and that would be a problem, buds... need check how does some salt damage do on the bird.
 
Re: Hobby Boss 1/72 SH-60 SeaHawks

Kinda like those old F-14s and such. A little fading in some spots and slight darkening in others. You could just use a slightly lightened version of the base color, thin it down heavily and give some random spots in the middle of some panels a shot through the AB. Then give her a good wash down and wipe off. Should give a good representation of a Sea bird. Repeat the wash as needed in areas to increase the effect.
 
Re: Hobby Boss 1/72 SH-60 SeaHawks

Thanks for the advise, Myke... i'll try some modulation on the top parts and bit of Oil and Grease wash on the rotors. :)
 
Re: Hobby Boss 1/72 SH-60 SeaHawks

Yep, Looking super sharp Eastrock! Still a bit "factory fresh" but I know you will take care of that with a little weathering. Beautiful work on this ER!!
 
Re: Hobby Boss 1/72 SH-60 SeaHawks

Looks good Eastrock, great work. A little weathering and a little flat coat, then off to the display shelf. :)
