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.

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.

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:
