                        Hi guys.. I just ordered the Italeri Blackhawk in 1/35 scale.. Is it any good?.. I cant seem to find any reviews on it... I am in the process of building the Academy 1/32 Hornet, and was going to order thier Blackhawk, but I got the Italeri one at a great price.. Interested in hearing what you guys think of it...

                        Italeri Blackhawk is a rebox of the Academy Blackhawk, same kit with different decals. Any review you find on the Academy kit applies to the Italeri kit as well. Great kit by the way. I have built two of the Academy kits (UH-60L, and a MH-60L DAP), you can see them in my Showcase III below. I highly recommend the. have 3 more in the stash.

                        Can vouch for Ginos word there!!!
                        Have built the Italeri Blackhwak and built the Academy hawk 3 times and there isnt much difference in them. Maybe a little more detail on the Academy kit..
                        But other than that the Italeri kit is good.
                        Ohh are you gonna paint the italeri hawk in Auscam or normal helo drab??
                        The other blackhawk and other helos you posted a while ago looked great..
                        Keep up the good work

                        Thanks for the compliment.. It will be in Auscam.. I am currently doing a Hornet in RAAF colors as we speak, wanted to add a large Australian Army Chopper to go next to it.. Also thinking of getting another one to do up as a Sea Hawk..
