Bulldog 09 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Hey Robertas, Thanks a bunch for the review. I have been waiting for this kit ever since they announced it back several months ago. Now that I am able to see what is in the box I will defiantly be picking one up. Thanks again, Dave Fassett Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hajo L. Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Any idea if the installation of a Minigun and a Penguin ASM is realistic on this chopper? HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 IIRC the Penguin was only used on the SH-60B,the HH-60H seems to be seen with Hellfires.I think Miniguns have been used on the aircraft. Stephen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Par429 Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Hey- I think no on the Penguin is correct. Yes for Hellfire. Miniguns can be mounted both in the door on the right side or in the fwd window on the left side. Note that you can't mount the minigun (on the left side) together with the Left Hand Extended Pylon (the left outboard pylon). So you can't mount left side minigun and Hellfire at the same time.

arkhunter2002 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 The kit came in the mail yesterday! It actually looks much much better than their original UH-60 release (The nose shape looks better, the windshield doesn't look stretched) Despite a few inaccuracies, I think this is leaps and bounds better than their original blackhawk release. Plus the rivets don't even look as bad as they do on the UH-1's. -Austin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tiger331 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 And did anybody study how is accuracy in comparison with old Hasegawa or Italeri versions of SH-60? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HS-4Grandson Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I have that kit and I that is next to build after I finish my TA-4J kit. Stanton Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RotorheadTX Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 And did anybody study how is accuracy in comparison with old Hasegawa or Italeri versions of SH-60? I did a quick comparison with this kit and the Italeri HH-60; they are very similar, but HB has improved the surface detailing nicely. I prefer the sharpness of the Italeri rotors, as HB's seem to be a little soft and rounded at the tips. I will swap some parts over from the Italeri kit, but the HB is the one to build.

arkhunter2002 Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Just to add on to rotorheadTX, the main blade roots are indeed the squared Army/AF style and need to be sanded down to the angled Navy style. -Austin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChernayaAkula Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Thanks for the pics! SH-60Fs, baby....-brian Sea/Ocean/Resuce Hawks in 1/72? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HS-4Grandson Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I did notice in my kit that I have an you can see with the shots of sprues shots on here, is that it gives you the "H", the "B", and the "F", also has the different exhaust nozzles for the different variants that is being produced. But only if they would of added the Soney Bouy's dispenser and the Dipper for the "B", and "F". Maybe we might see a MH-60S out of Hobbyboss soon too. Just my two cents.

Phil Too bad that they only give one minigun ......anyway, can they carried rocket tube on the left outboard pylon? I just got mine yesterday...they do really look great... I'm planning to build one of the bird that flew during Tsunami Relief Operation in Indonesia... really love seeing those bird flew in and out, saving countless life those days... But, I don't think the decal available in the market today.... Mario, Indonesia Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mario, Indonesia Hey- No, rockets are not currently used on any version of the Seahawk. Maybe the MH-60S at some point, but not currently. Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
