ReccePhreak Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I have a Minicraft 1/48 UH-60L kit (11621) that I wanted to do in Royal Thai Army markings. I read a review/preview on another forum that said the horizontal stab was the wrong size & shape. It apparently is the stab for a UH-60A, but I can't find any photographic proof of that. Does anybody have any detailed photos or drawings of the correct stab, so I can try to modify my kit parts or scratch build a new one? I know there's probably a lot more wrong with the kit, but I don't know if I want to attempt correcting it all. Larry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyArty Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I have no clue on the kit parts, but on the actual aircraft, the stab is the same on a UH-60A and a UH-60L. Both use the pointy, one-piece stab, like below. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Plus, i can use the image to figure out the dimensions. Larry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
