PE for Academy ah-60l heli

Eduard makes about 4 sets that are suitable for the MH-60L. There is no such thing as an AH-60L.  Academy used that as a marketing ploy or something.  The US military does not use the AH (Attack Helicopter) designation with Blackhawks since they are not attack helicopters.  The MH-60L DAP is a helicopter gunship.  They have different roles and functions than an attack helicopter such as the AH-64 Apache.

Go to Eduard's Home Page and type either UH-60 or MG-60G into the search function at the bottom and you will find about 3 pages worth of sets.  They have interior, exterior, instrument panel, seatbelts, etc.

If you really want to step them up, check out Cobra Company's MH/HH-60G Upgrade and Detail set as well.  Cobra Company has lots of great 1/35 detail sets for Blackhawks and other helos as well.  I have used Cobra Company parts on all 4 1/35 H-60 variants (US Army MH-60L DAP, US Army UH-60L, USAF HH-60G, & USCG MH-60J that I have built.

Good luck and keep us posted.

I agree with HeavyArty: to make a good looking Black Hawk you'll need Eduard's MH-60G PE sets (interior and exterior), Cobra Co.'s UH-60L and MH-60L sets AND some scratch building.

Besides Gino's great builds there's Intruder-Bass' masterpiece and my own rendering of a Pave Hawk.

hi gino thanks again for the help, didnt know academy's title was wrong, i already plan on ordering the Cobra Co. sets and the eduard PE. have you ever considered making a book for all the modern helis and AFVs you've done? the links of your heli look really good. @ avus thanks for the links ive book marked them. and BTW what color of black would be best appropriate for the black hawk heli variants?

thanks calvin ng

I don't know about the book.  As for the color.  Only the Army MH-60Ls are black.  I used Krylon Camo colors ultra flat black from a spray can, then drybrushed with gunship gray then again with flat black. 

Also, if you are doing an MH-60L DAP, you will need new decals as well.  The kit ones are yellow, they should be OD Green.  Cobra Company also has the correct decal set for them as well.
