Minicraft 1/48 UH-60L questions

[ReccePhreak]

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.

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.

Thanks for the reply and the great photo. 

I perfectly demonstrates the the leading edge is not straight across, but angles slightly, like in the kit.

Plus, i can use the image to figure out the dimensions.

Larry, the strait one is for the MH 60s and later models.

So I should stick with the kit one, since I am doing a UH-60L?
