1:48 MH-6E/J/M Little Bird-conversion set for ACA

MH-6E/J/M Little Bird conversion in 1:48 scale (CMK)

This is a resin conversion set, not a helicopter kit. It makes it possible to build the MH-6 Little Bird special forces transport version from a plastic model of a light helicopter of the MD 500 family in 1:48 scale. The set usually brings a new interior, folding external benches for airborne troops and other features characteristic of this version.

The real subject

The MH-6 Little Bird is a small, nimble special forces helicopter derived from the Hughes/MD 500 family. In the transport role it carries operators on folding external benches along the sides of the fuselage and is used for rapid insertions and moves.

Building and painting tips

Wash the mold release agent off the resin parts, cut off the casting blocks and glue with cyanoacrylate glue; sand with protection of the airways. Paint the interior and the benches before the final assembly. For a faithful special forces look, use dark shades and restrained wear.

Who the set is for

• Modelers building helicopters of the MD 500 family in 1:48 scale
• Anyone interested in the MH-6 special forces transport version
• Advanced builders working with resin

The set is an accessory for a plastic model, not a kit in its own right. Glue, paints and the base model are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
