It will be interesting to see if these actually get bought by the US Army.  Right now, they are just being marketed as an option.  I don't see what advantage they offer over the standard 2 hardpoint ESSS that are already in the inventory.

 

They do look very similar to the resin ones in the 1/35 Academy Blue Hawk Hong Kong SAR kit.

I think the primary advantage is that they weigh significantly less than the ESSS rig.

Unfortunately, it is not my model.  I just searched for it on the web.  I also don't have access to my instruction sheets as I am in the middle of a move and all my models are in packed up.  This site has full scans of the MH-60L instructions that may help.  http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10113079

Gino, You might want to read this again. 

Unitech Composites delivered the first production shipset of Multi-Station Lightweight Armament Support Structure (MLASS) wings for use on the U.S. Army’s MH-60M aircraft. This is the first of nine shipsets that will be delivered to the U.S. Army Special Operations Forces Support Activity (SOFSA

I take it that this is a production shipment and not a marketing option.

Tim
