                        I have been slowly but surely getting rolls of film developed. This picture was taken in October of 2003 at Dyess AFB, Abilene, Tx. It's not the best, but I hope somebody can at least give me an idea of what it is. I know its an H-60, but what mark? This bird was followed about 30 minutes later by a C-130H of the Alaskan Air National Guard.

                        Here's the Alaskan C-130:

                        That's an HH-60G Pave Hawk.

                        Thanks. I've been trying to only do kits of what I've seen, so now I can add another to my to get list!

                        Best bet is the MRC 1:35th kit.  Really great model!  Salbando and Trigger are our resident Pave Hawk experts.  If you've got any questions, I'm sure they'd be willing to help out.

                        Beeing the picture from 2003 and looking at it I'd say it is a MH-60G (i.e. before they changed to HH-60G) even before the Block 152 upgrade: no plume detectors, no FLIR and no additional flare dispensers ... wait I see something next to the landing gear, could be a plume detector.

                        This means if you want yo build exactly this helo you can go for Academy's kit with Cobra's resin update set.
