Yup, everything forward of the step up in the floor is flat black; floor, IP, walls, ceiling, seats, everything.  This goes for all modern H-60 helos (pretty much all others too).  It is for night flying and the use of NVGs.

on pretty much any MH type, you can paint the interior of the cockpit any color you like. As long as it’s black. Special Ops birds do much of their work at nite with the crew wearing NVGs so the interiors are painted accordingly.

Nice start, some good work on the pit and nice scratchbuilt additions.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

1/48 Italeri MH-60K Blackhawk
Posted by Wolfman_63 on Sunday, July 8, 2018 3:17 PM

Starting on Italeri’s 1/48 MH-60K. With this build I will be using Eduard’s “Big Ed” detail kit. Beginning with the cockpit I added the photo etch parts to the floor and console. As I started on the seats I noticed that the rear of the seats on the reference photos have a bin and bracing as well as a first aid bag behind headrest. Using some stock styrene sheets and rods I made the braces. I used a small piece of nylon cloth to make the first aid bags.
