https://www.scalemates.com/kits/icm-53tba-uh-60a-black-hawk--1527363 Just found this on Scalemates, seems like our Ukrainian friends have some interesting plans for 2025. Does anyone have more info? Hopefully there will be a UH-60M in line too

Hi, The Academy and KH front seats are clearly different. After checking in many books, the seats as depicted in the Academy kits were more 'squared' whereas the KH ones have a back with a thinner top. The supporting tubular structure is also clearly different (far taller in the Academy kit). The KH type looks to be the commonly seen one for many years. This view shows the type included in the Academy kit and Cobra company set: https://www.researchgate.net/figure/UH-60-Blackhawk-crew-seat-employing-inversion-tube-concept_fig2_316581254 This shows the type included in the Kitty Hawk kit: http://www.ara-incorp.com/ARA-UH60-Seat.html So, I'm wondering: was the Academy type actually used as I only found TM views of that one (as the one hereabove or in the Squadron walkaround book)? If it was used, when has the type changed? When the UH-60L production started? During the UH-60L production? Were both types used at the same time? I seriously doubt Cobra Company would have kept the seat as such and just adding additionnal details when they did the effort to detail and create many other parts. I'm really puzzled as even UH-60As (as depicted in the 1994 WWP booklet) have the "thinner" type... Any idea?
