Great work.  Those CG colors look great on the H-60.  What are those big containers hanging from the stub wings?  Are those fuel tanks or something else?  Someone was asking about Coast Guard colors in a recent thread.  What colors did you use to paint your H-60J?

Semper Fi,

Chris

I assume they are fuel tanks.  somone was telling me that the blackhawks don't have too good of a range, so it would make sense that the CG would add more fuel.

I used the testors acrylic. they actually have 'caoast guard orange' then the rest is just white, light ghost grey and flat black (although If i did it again id use a dark dark grey.  some of the reference pics i have show that the radar assembly on the nose is a bit darker than the front of the cockpit)

That looks great, I've got that Fireball set and an Italeri Seahawk to build it with one of these days. The USCG certainly does have a good looking fleet of aircraft.
