I think so, it looks to only have one additional sprue with the M model specific parts. The bare, no-detail interior looks to be the same, with the exception of new IP and center console parts for the M. As I said in the post at Aeroscale, I plan to add a KH MH-60L interior to it, like I did on my early UH-60A. I don't know for sure yet as mine is stuck in Chinese customs since 26 APR. Hopefully it gets sorted out and, on its way, soon.

Yes, the aircraft in the video are US Army, 160th SOAR MH-60Ms with HIRSS. Not sure why they would still have HIRSS that late. Could the date be when the video was uploaded, not the date it was taken? For flight crew uniforms, you could also get away with overall green or sand flight suits as well. Many (esp. Spec Ops) crews still wear them today. Or the OCP would be fine as most people will have no idea which flight suit camo was actually worn at any given time. Sometimes you just have to use a little artistic license when modeling. As to building an MH-60M, you d

That is looking awesome. The kit detail is very nice. Hopefully Trumpeter will continue with a UH-1D/H model.

USCG rotor head is actually medium grey, and it is a naval head without blade fold mechanism.

Let me know how it prints. I too am interested in getting the files and printing them. -

I can't vouch for it, but if you have access to a 3D printer, there is the .stl file for sale to convert a Trumpeter CH-47D on eBay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/135489186529?_skw=1%2F35+3d+mh-47&epid=1721173986&itmmeta=01JJQTTD2XEPJZ5W1ZN1KPXEJ8&hash=item1f8bc8eae1:g:a6wAAOSwHm5nfYPu&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKm91dKqiZiTTIOd64LQOu1OzK0DBJzIIrebaRjBMUmb%2BPI3JrfOukm2Lg6nx2D7eBZl26jL5Px9V90D7FBBCT3eCk%2BCeAIRg1UsZ80XTVbImrP0ppiz5SsvkWWKjTiomsJJTkv6LJ3y%2BYUUKp3Nu6mQNvvP6UukXTGs0zreiH%2F9DdPWf4s2CFc%2BFbDj5HzpNKpSRjBuErR%2FFrSit -
Revell 1/32 Bell 206 Jet Ranger - In Progress.

A great old kit. I've built a couple over the years. The biggest thing I add is the floor. There is no floor in it at all. -
Nice. It looks great.
-
Very welcomed. I hope it comes out soon.
-
Coming along nicely. The interior looks good.

It was a Ford paint color known as Grabber Blue, paint code J. Tamiya TS-23 spray is an almost perfect match.
-
Too bad it looks like the original Academy interior parts, where there are no details at all. I may have to add the new Academy M parts to a KH H-60 though...Or add the KH interior to the Academy M.

The short part is the underside root end of the longer one. You get 2 of these sprues to make up the complete rotor blade.

It also appears to be in A'stan, where the Soviets used these extensively. The camo scheme was very common as well.
