MH-53M Pave Low WIP December 21st
With my Christmas break having started today, I spent some time tinkering with my Pave Low. I've strengthened the tailboom and have built the engines. I removed the tailboom to work on it and the engines weren't fitted when I took this picture. However, with various bits removed/ not on it yet, I could quite easily take a picture of the bottom of the beast, to show off some of the details.
Whilst looking at more pictures, I realised that Pave Lows have long fuel dump pipes attached to the sides of the sponsons. They are hard to see, because the external fuel tanks hide them from view from most angles. They run alongside the sponsons, starting quite close to the front, where fuel tanks are mounted inside, and end close to the trailing edge. So, after I took this picture, I added them to my model too.
