Θέμα: S-70B Aegean Hawk

[Erik H]

Hello all!

As you probably've noticed, I'm new on the block. Last vacation I happened to see a Sikorsky S-70B Aegean Hawk fly past, which triggered 2 phenomenons:
1  a return of interest in helicopters (having built tanks and other AFV's for the last 15 years or so)
2 a return to 1/144th scale.

I have bought an example of Dragon's tiny SH-60B in the hope of turning is into a Greek S-70B. The only thing missing is some decent examples of the markings used, so that I can make my own decals to fit.

This is what triggers the next question:
IS THERE ANYONE WHO COULD PROVIDE ME WITH SCANS OR OTHER FILES OF THE ROUNDELS, ANCHOR MARKINGS, SQUADRON CRESTS AND REGISTRATIONS OF THE AEGEAN HAWK?

I would be most grateful for anyone being able and willing to help me out...

Hi Erik, welcome onboard...

The best I have is this photo:



There's also a very good book about the Aegean Hawks by "Special Projects":

http://www.specialprojects.gr/show.php?id=BooksAegeanHawks&lang=el

The text of this book is also in english...

Thanx. Do you know if a decal set on the subject has ever been released? And if so, could anyone provide me with a scan of the set? What I want to do is develop my own decal set and have these guys http://www.blackliondecals.nl/ print them. It will be for my own use only....

As far as I know there's no decal sheet about Aegean Hawks...

Hey Eric welcome to our forum. You have a pm.

Welcome Erik, maybe our friend and forum member jtrip see this and cook up something
I will be interested too

[Erik H]

Thank you for all the warm and kind messages I've received so far. 

Like I said, I'm planning to develop my own decal sheet, and maybe even throw in the markings for the AB-212 ASW as well. Black Lion Decals can print the decals I need, including the white color on transluctant paper!!!!  What I still need is a clear image of the navy's anchor marking and the measurements of the roundels, the anchor marking and the lettering for the registration. I found a picture of the squadron emblem, which has been reduced in size.

Tonight I will finish the interior of my 11 cm (!!!!!   )  long S-70B which I will try and upload tomorrow.

Only ΠΝ 59-60-61 are S-70 B
The rest Aegean Hawk (ΠΝ 51.......58)are older models named S-70 B6.
There are differences between S-70B and S-70 B6.
You can recognize easier the S-70B because they have grey FLIR and S-70 B6 because they  black FLIR.
