                        H-60 and the FLIR ball
                        Posted by Scotty T on Saturday, November 3, 2007 7:18 AM
                        I recently saw a new release of Hasegawa's 1/72nd scaleSH-60B and the pic on the box was a hi-viz version with a FLIR ball on the nose.  Does anyone know if this comes in the kit?  And another question does anybody make an aftermarket FLIR ball in 1/72nd scale for Navy -60's?  I am now flying HH-60H's and or birds have the FLIR on the nose and I am trying to built a replica of it.  Thank you for your help

                        Yes, the reissued Hasegawa kit (the basic kit dates back to the mid-80's but is very nice) includes resin parts for the flir ball. I have not eyeballed the parts personally, but I've heard they are quite nice.

                        Joseph,

                        Thank you very much for the input and quick respnse.....I am thinking now of using the FLIR ball on the Italeri HH-60H.  Thank you again for the heads up.

                        Cheers

                        Read through the thread posted at Heli-Kit-News' forum; pics of the parts and decals in the box, and I posted photos of the FLIR turret:

                        thanks for that.  I like the hi-viz decals for HSL-45, a bunch of my buddies flew for them.  Glad i found a FLIR ball for the HH-60H i am working on.  Thank you for that link

                        cheers
