HH-60J Conversion
Posted by Qaz on Sunday, May 10, 2009 4:14 AM

 

I'm planning to do the Revell (Italeri) SH-60B to HH-60J conversion, and I gather that the Cobra conversion set is the way to go - with the Hawkeye decals.

Is there a UK stockist for either of these, or must I import from the manufacturer? 

 

 Thanks for any info.

Fireball Modelworks also does a nice set of decals for that conversion. I'm not familiar with Hawkeye, but they would have to be very good to compare with the set from Fireball. 

He also offers a complete set with the conversion and decals in 1/72.

Sorry can't help you with a UK distributor.

I don't know if Cobra Company has a distributer in the UK, but you can buy direct

I would definitely go with the Fireball Modelworks decals. I've used both and Fireball's are the better looking of the two.
Depending on the level of detail you'd want to have, I would also suggest getting the Cobra Company PE set from their SH-60 detail set, as well as Eduard's SH-60 Exterior PE set.
Using both sets really dresses up a 1/48 HH-60J.
