skyhawk174 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Well that came out of nowhere. I would have laid money that a Rescue Hawk by Skunkmodels was a non starter. I have several Seahawks in my stash by Italeri but no Rescue Hawk so I guess I have to add this to my list. You know I would have thoought the markings would have been a bit more colourful. Oh well.

petebuilt Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I had heard some rumblings about it earlier last year, but this is the first I've seen it. Good find! It looks like a HH-60H Rescuehawk to me! Thanks for posting. Pete Quote Link to post Share on other sites
evnewsphoto Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 That looks a lot like the Italeri kit with a Flir added, I am guessing that based on the way the clear parts go together (poorly- esepcelialy the overhead windows) and the seats look exactly the same, also the panel lines are heavy and there is no rivet detail. I have the SH-60B kit with the Hotel conversion by Cobra company and it has that FLIR in it, my guess is Skunkworks copied the part and licensed the Italeri kit and made up some new decals. I like the Minicraft H-60 kits better, they should have used those as a basis or done a new tool H-60 , that would have been really nice since there is much room for improvement. But hey what fun would that be? That's what scratch building is for! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HS-4Grandson Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) I wonder if they included the radio rack that sits right behind the co-pilot seat and also include M-134 Minigun with mounts and some detail for the roof of the main cabin, if not like evnewsphoto said "Thats what scratch building is for!" Also I have the Cobra Company Rescue Hawk set in my stash plus a strinken one from the move, I was wondering if some the resin would work on this Rescue Hawk. Does anyone have an idea when this Rescue Hawk will be available to buy? Stanton Edited January 18, 2011 by HS-4Grandson Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spongebob Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 The missile rail on the left pylon is entirely inappropriate - it's for the AGM-119 which is SH-60B only. Spongebob Quote Link to post Share on other sites

petebuilt Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I'm guessing you probably aren't getting any royalties from Skunkworks? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonesy1275 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 We agreed on the usage fees. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jwest21 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Sweet! Maybe there is hope down the road for a 48th UH-34 too? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gabe Pincelli Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Definitely not a direct copy of the Italeri molds. Skunkmodels have the correct Navy style windows on the cockpit doors. None of the Italeri Navy versions got that right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
