This is my 1/35th scale Academy/MRC UH-60A Blackhawk Dustoff. I
built it representing UH-60A serial 87-24618 from the 2-3 AVN, deployed in Iraq ca.2008. The model was built using a lot of aftermarket sets, especially the Werner Wings UH-60 medevac update set which included the carousel litter system. Eduard Big Ed set, Cobra Company CMWS sensors, Shapeways Wheels, Fireball modelworks rescue hoist, Black ops pilot doors, Werner Wings Blackhawk decal set, and a lot of scratch work was done in the cabin area and exterior parts such as wiring, connectors, mainly using lead wire, styrene plain sheets and rods.
