Hrvoje Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 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 Out2gtcha and scvrobeson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Pretty cool! Possibly a bit off on timing with the also possible RE-release of the 35th helos from Kitty Hawk, but my experience so far with ICM kits has been fantastic, so it may be a moot point.

To be honest - I’m not certain ICM’s kit will surpass the KH kit. Assuming the quality is similar to their Cobra kit, I’ll give the nod to KH. Their Cobra is pretty basic. Where I predict ICM will shine will be on the instructions (the KH instructions are a complete dumpster fire) and surface detailing (we’ll get accurate raised rivets).

thierry laurent Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Indeed! This one will surely have raised rivets and to my eyes this will be a major difference. I really liked the KH kits (I have one of each variant) but those divots are really a very bad depiction of the very numerous fuselage rivets.

Its more than a possibility.. all the KH helicopters are available again Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grunticus Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 I would anticipate this to become a really good kit. ICM is top notch stuff. Maybe I should sell my stash and 'upgrade' it to 1/35 with all te new kits coming out. CRAZY IVAN5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyWan Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I'd venture a guess that ICM will eventually do most of the -60 family - like they did with the Invader family. RIP to those who overpaid for KH kits when they were "OOP" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Williams Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I’d be very surprised if ICM did the naval Seahawk series. I expect they’ll only do the Blackhawks, and maybe the Pave Hawk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zola25 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 There is still hope... Rumor has it that the UH-60J was next on the Kitty Hawk list. That was the one I was waiting for anyway. John1, Out2gtcha, Dragon and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP to those who overpaid for KH kits when they were "OOP" Those MH-60R's were going for ludicrous prices, £200 / $300 ish range. Luckily managed to grab an AH-6J and an SH-60 for less than their original retail via china, and once the rumours about molds being acquired came out, I figured it would not be worth paying anything above retail as they'd eventually show back up anyways.

Uh I can do even better (..or worse depending on how you look at it) - I became really interested in the "Romeo" when AoA decals released markings for the Danish version so I went hunting on eBay and got completely carried away. I ended up paying $400 for it - and then the package was caught in customs as well.... not my finest hour. But I have an MH-60R kit in my stash now Edited February 2 by Zola25 Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernut Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 (edited) HH-60W and maybe some day, this: MH-139A Grey Wolf (Although this aircraft is somewhat different than the accepted configuration). Edited February 2 by Juggernut Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnyax Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 On the website ICM kits it is announced as 1/48 scale not 1/35. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernut Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 The 2024 catalog only has 1/48...the link in the OP is for 2025. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
