I also just discovered that I can be incredibly stupid. I just now discovered that my MH-60 DAP is missing an entire part tree. As I bought the damn thing in Europe, the option to return doesnt exist. So another kick in the balls.


What is missing from the kit? I have lots of spares and may be able to help you out.

Well, there are quite a few parts to be honest. It seems to be a large parts tree. What I'll do is scan the instruction page so you can see everything together, rather than me trying to explain everything I dont have. I appreciate your offer very much.

Once I get home later in my day, I will figure out how to upload the image then direct you to it.

Thanks again!

If it is a whole sprue, you should write to Model Rectifier Corporation, Academy's North American importer. They have replaced missing parts for me before. Their address should be in the directions or on the box somewhere. Sorry, I don't have any whole sprues as spares. Which sprue # is it hough? On a couple, you only use a few parts for the DAP version.

Ok, I will look into the group you told me about. I figured that you wouldnt have all the parts Im lacking, but I scaned what Im missing, and I will now try to display it here. I hope it works.

Actually you are in luck. I do have that as an extra sprue. That is the sprue from the MH-60G kit that I have and plan on making into a regular UH-60A.

I sent you a PM.
