A question about SH-60F and SH-60I Ocean Hawks ???

 I've been doing some more research on the VIP SH-60I Hawk Helicopter and after having a closer look at Dragons assembly instructions ,

It now seems to me that the Italeri HH-60H Rescue Hawk would be a closer match .

The Dragon kit doesn't show the ALE-139 Chaff/Flare dispenser's or the HIRSS Exhaust covers fitted ??? But the weapons racks included in the Dragon kit are similar to the Italeri Rescue Hawk kit . Also it shouldn't be too difficult to fill in part of the port side window with some sheet plastic .

So I guess I may have answered my own question , I did search around google and yahoo images for pic's of a VIP Sea Hawk but only saw the dragon 1/144 kit images .

It will be a couple of weeks before I start some VIP Helicopters , so I may still yet come across some more images .

                                        Kind regards John

I was looking at building a Navy MH-60S "Knighthawk" and I was given this suggestion for conversions, since I think you also build mostly 1/72 it might be helpful.

UH-60L (can also use A or D kits but more work needed) ---> MH-60S

SH-60B ---> SH-60F or MH-60R 

HH-60H ---> MH-60J / HH-60J

 I decided to buy the Dragon 1/144 Ocean and VIP Hawks .

The level of detail for such a small model is absolutly amazing . I've seen quite a few of these Dragon 1/144 kits in the hobby stores but had no Idea they were so detailed .

I bought the kit so I could get a better idea on building my 1/72 version but I must say these two little birds will definitly get built as well . I'm pretty sure my last visit to the LHS they had the other Dragon Seahawk kit with Navy Special Warfare markings , my next visit I'll snap that one up as well .
