1/72 Hobby Boss HH-60H Rescue Hawk

Hello once again fellow ARC modellers, this time I present you my latest.  This chopper was built for a local Naval Helicopters contest which was rather crowded by also included some very nice work.  I found this build rather odd since it came with a beautiful exterior detail but almost no interior and some fit issues.  A lot of scratch-building was done in the cargo area.  You can see the building sequence by following this link http://www.ipmsguatemala.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=152&Itemid=1

The kit comes with one 7.62mm gatling gun and a Penguin missile which are fine but doing some research I replaced them with a Hellfire rack and two M-60 guns on the sides, the fuselage's antennas were also scratch-built.  It was painted using Model Master and Revell paints, weathering was made with pastel chalks and some black ink.  Decals are OOB since they are pretty good.

I hope you like it as much as I do.  I love the S-70 family and this is my second one, been my first built a MH-60L DAP.  In the outcome of recent world events the ´Hawk is going to be very popular.
 
Cheers from IPMS/Guatemala
