About H-60 serie from Kittyhawk

[raphaelmd]

Hello,

 

I am looking after one of the SH-60 from kittyhawk model, I know they are still on futur release but still really looking forward...

 

Now, what is the quality of the Blackhawk already in the shops? Somebody of you had done one of it and can give me some inputs about quality, assembly... Basiclly, it is a quite expensive kit but is it a good one?

 

Thank's for all advises

I built the MH-60L when it came out. Compared to the Academy Blackhawk, it's much more detailed. Like any offering from Kitty Hawk - if you take your time and read the instructions carefully it will build into a really nice kit. I think the biggest flaw in the kit is the split fuselage - the belly needs reinforcement to keep its shape - a better design in my opinion would have been a three piece fuselage consisting of a solid lower and two upper halves. Like other KH kits there are a couple of issues raised about accuracy in spots, but I'm very happy with mine. Honestly I might go back in for another one at some point.
