It is not a VH-60. It is the old Minicraft UH-60 mold with new presidential decals, as is the Medical Evacuation version. (old mold with new decals) I purchased them both, saw what they were, returned them both, sent Minicraft an e-mail.

I was really P***ed off when we opened the box at my LHS. I am in the process of converting an Academy 1/35 to a Lima Medical Suite. Should have known "Minicrap" would pull that. First clue should have been when the box art was not even close. Red Cross decals does not a Lima make.......

Luckily I was assigned  as the only Navy instructor to the Army when I got back from Iraq. I have all the detail I need. The Flight Medic School at Ft Rucker has a (Lima) Medical Suite simulator. Nothing like a 1:1 for comaprison.

I'm a little confused on this topic, bear with me...

A 1/48 Blackhawk is on my to-do list, and there are several threads on this and other forums stating that the Minicraft -60 is the best in 1/48 scale....

So is the current gripe about Minicraft's quality, or the fact they boxed "new" versions with changing nothing more than decals?

What versions of Minicraft's Blackhawks are still accurate/acceptable?

Thanks, Andy

           Rescue Hawk is right again .,they are a great kit ,I think i have built about 7 of them. Mostly the Custom's type for custom agents. I did a civy version once ,of one which was in a Sikorsky calender(one brown and red with off white,, and one was White and blue,, ) all in all they came out nice. I really liked doing the Italeri Seahawk. That was a great kit allaround.Plenty of detail and great molding. Good luck on your projects and the best to all
