I'm in the process of building up a 1/48th UH-60L and have a question for all you Blackhawk gurus. Included in the kit is a small, 1/4 in. tall cylinderical object which goes on top of the fuselage, the engine compartment, in a round hole. I've looked a a number of -60L pics on the web and have ascertained this is to be painted clear red. This I have accomplished with first a coat of gloss black, then a light coat of Alclad II Aluminum, and finally Tamiya clear red. It looks good, but does anyone have any idea what it is. FYI: Once complete, I plan on decaling this Blackhaw with Dept. of State Air Wing markings. Yep, I know they don't actually have any UH -60s, but I figure its time they upgraded.
Certainly would appreciate any input.
