Hey-
From the modelling ideas department, I thought some of you might be interested in a picture of the US Navy MH-60S Armed Helo that is in development. There was a rollout ceremony at Patuxent River NAS last month that I was fortunate to be able to attend. Below is a pic from the press release. In addition to Hellfire missiles on the wings, it had an M240 in each window, a GAU-16 in one door and a GAU-21 in the other door. It can't use all four guns at the same time, but it looked pretty scary. It also had cabin floor armor. Note the green wings borrowed from the Army for the occasion. It's supposed to get to the fleet in late 2006.
I'm thinking a 1/48 or even a 1/35 conversion from a Blackhawk kit wouldn't be too difficult and would look pretty neat.
BTW, don't you just love the artsy picture? It rained all morning during the ceremony but by afternoon there wasn't a cloud to be seen.
Regards,
Phil
