This is the 1/35 Academy AH60L DAP kit, in my opinion, the best Blackhawk kit available! It has parts for all other models of Blackhawk so you can just about build any make OOB. First time

I have used an airbrush for a kit, and the results were worth it. This is 1 mega kit, has hundreds of parts, and u need some patience for this one!

Extra detailing was added to the engine bay with wires and struts for the opened compartment, not realistic by any means, but it looks good to me! The decals were quite thick, would recommend using some after market decals.

Extra pieces are placed everywhere. elevator actuator, exhaust supports, wires on tail rotor and main hub, brake lines on landing gear, braided hose on refueling probe. Was a challenging kit, parts fit very well and it takes months! But the result of your hard work is an outstanding model, would suit a diorama well. Thanks go to Josh's awesome camera for the pics! Enjoy!
