Blackhawks? The Best in '48 or '72 scale?

Hey Paul,

Really ... thats all going to depend on how early or late a Blackhawk you want. Me .... I like Academy's 1/35 AH-60L DAP Blackhawk. I know you said 1/48 or 1/72, but this is a great kit, and at a decent price. Plus, crew and figures are easier to find in 35 than in 48, but thats just me.

Also ... check out http://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com , its got pretty good reviews for lots of kits. You might find one that more suits you.

Hope that helps.

thanks for the link. Just wanted something small to build after my schools DC trip. I got some pics of Blackhawks. But firefox is mean and i cantpost pics. Saw marine one and three blackhawks on the last day.

Hasegawa and Italeri both make decent UH-60 and SH-60 kits in 1/72. Personally think the Italeri are a little nicer, but I've heard the ultimate H-60 in 1/72 is made by combining parts from both brands. 

Hobbyboss has recently released a couple of SH-60 kits that are different versions from what Hasegawa and Italeri have done. They have had decent reviews comparing well with the Italeri & Hasegawa kits. Their UH-60 kits did not receive very good reviews and is supposed to be quite inferior to the others out there.

I recently built an Italeri Seahawk in 1/48 that was actually quite good. I know they make a Blackhawk and I am betting it is based off the same kit. Also, Eduard makes a PE set for both kits. The fit was good, the detail was good.. I would do it again.

If you really want one you could convert a SH-60B Seahawk to one.  I have the kit and overall it is a good one.  It is also reasonably priced.  Here is a link.
