Test - Aircraft models pics

Mad Dog, what kind of model is your SH-60? Looks like a toy instead of a model you made.

@Flash...it's a combination die cast and plastic model (toy) from Sporty's that basically came pre-assembled/painted...all I had to do was unfold the main rotor blades and install the tail rotor. I can't remember the brand name but I believe it was about $25. I purchased it after my wooden 'PI Special' SH-60B model disintegrated while sitting on its stand. Also, the SH-60B model (toy) from Sporty's comes with a stand...it's pictured below on the stand.

Thanks @Pags...I didn't know about HA(L)-3...or their green Huey gunships. I figured Lionel was a little off with the green Huey models since their products are rather toy-like and attention-to-detail correctness can be lacking.

He's an aviator, I would be surprised if he didn't pay attention to detail

Or most Navy -46s in the 70's and 80's.

Flash, I have to give you crap about this one.... Here's a recursive link to answer your question: https://www.airwarriors.com/community/index.php?threads/test-aircraft-models-pics.41901/

If you click through it fast enough, you might be able to see through time...or break the internet.

I must have missed that one, too many helos. Unfortunately my ass ain't as big or awesome as a Kardashian's so little chance off that.

...too many helos...

There's never too many helos.

Helos rock.

It's Saturday night and I'm at home playing helos (and trains)...WOOT!

You're my role model, becoming an aviator and still playing with aviation toys!

Irrelevant, but what kind of watch is that? I like it, and also a nice train set!

Thanks for the compliments @Jublov.

The watch is an Omega Speedmaster Professional "Moonwatch"...it's a mechanical (hand wind) movement. I received it from the wife and kids about 6 months ago for my 51st b-day. The watch comes in a ridiculously humongous box that holds the watch and the multiple accessories that come with it.

The train set is not really a "train set"...it's a compilation of several Lionel items that I purchased individually about 20 years ago. The transformer is a Lionel ZW (275W) from either the 1940's, 1950's or 1960's which had been refurbished when I had purchased it from a local Lionel dealer.

 

[Jublov]

Still pretty awesome though, thank you!

That looks like it was a screamer.

Never understood counter-rotating. What's the advantage?
