A lot of folks have already done some awesome Blackhawk customs (like Ninjapleazee and SuperFlanker), but I wanted to go ahead and toss my hat into the ring. Not wanting to spend the cash on BBI’s Blackhawk or Pavehawk, I went the economy route and started with the True Heroes version. Early on, I decided I would make my own variant in the Blackhawk series and got to work.
-put the doors on correctly (why did they put them on backwards anyway?) -gutted the interior -added a pair of mini-guns from Marauders (those guys are awesome!) -added a refueling boom -moved the tail landing wheel forward to give it a smaller footprint (like the Navy’s Seahawk and Coast Guard’s Rescue Hawk) An excruciating paint job later (I will never use white again...) along with some custom stickers I designed and printed using Papillio clear vinyl paper, here’s what I call the LH-60A Liberty Hawk! Enjoy! Last edited by Ako Roshi; 11-03-2009 at 05:38 PM.. |

I've been wanting to customize mine too. Awesome job, I like the flag on the back wall.
How easy is that vinyl paper to use?

Can we get some shots of the interior? I'm curious to see how it was "gutted", as I might want to do the same.

The paper is pretty easy to use, but it does require some trial and error to figure out what works best. Also, since inkjet and color laser printers can't print the color white, a little ingenuity is necessary sometimes. |

Also, I scraped off the control panel buttons to make a smooth surface and applied my own stickers. Last edited by Ako Roshi; 11-03-2009 at 06:32 PM.. |
