I finally have some down time to submit the all new Hobby Boss HH-60H Late Version. This was a relatively easy kit to put together. Some minor issues though, the dashboard in the cockpit is too low, needs to be higher. It covers about 50% of the windscreen on the full size version.

It took about a week to build, and a day to paint and put on the decals. This particular HH-60 belongs to HS-7, currently attached to the USS Harry S. Truman CVN-75. I used Dark Gull Grey (Model Master 1740) for the entire fuselage, it is a great match for the full size version. I decided to make the main rotor spin with a modification to the main rotor spinner. You have to trim and sand it to make it move freely, plus a few drops of oil to get it going. The tail rotor is stationary, couldn't figure out how to spin it. Oh well!!! 

Not sure what to make my next project! Enjoy.
