Sikorsky S-67 service name?

It would have been the Blackhawk, that was the next name on the list.  Since it wasn't used, it went to the UH-60.  Not sure what the next few names on the list are though.

Being in the Army when the Blackhawk was accepted, the name came from an Army-wide competation to name it

I will be interested to know about this kit.  I want to build one but my bank account dictates that I wait to find out if it is worth the money.  I have been quite happy with Revellogram lately and I could get three or four of these for the price of the S-67.  The problem is that the itch is starting to get hard to ignore.

As far as a name for the series, I'm not sure that there is a list to follow.  I believe that the only real list is one of those already used and a name for a new series essentially is done by commitee as they come along.

As someone else noted, there is no list of what name to use for the next helicopter.  Sikorsky named the S-67 the Blackhawk, but since we never bought any, the Army never officially named it.  Only thing I can suggest is to pick a tribe with a warlike reputation.  The two aircraft designed from the start as attack aircraft and named by the Army are the Apache and the Comanche.

Thanks gents! I'll probably stick with AH-3F BlackHawk.

I'm with Screaminhelo: who here has actually built the Anigrand kit? I'm dying to see shots of one, and I know of only two modellers online who have at least started (but I'm yet to see their shots). If you have one on the bench - or started and back in the box, for whatever reason - please share!

Incidentally, if you have one that you don't want to build, let me know :).

I was thinking with the helicopters Sea King heritage, one of the coastal or great lakes tribes would be appropriate.
