11bee Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 (edited) I want to build this kit as an Army OIF Lima model. I know it’s the only one that has the inlet sand filters, can anyone confirm if this kit also happens to include Army-spec chaff/flare dispensers and the missile warning sensors? Also, does it have the older analog instrument panel? Edited June 4, 2021 by 11bee Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyArty Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 (edited) The MH-60S kit contains all the previous MH-60L sprues, plus 7 (I think) more that contain the Navy-specific parts. It also has two complete clear parts sprues (Army/USAF and USN). With the MH-60S kit, you can build an Army MH-60L from it with no problem.

HeavyArty Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 I have one that I plan on using to backdate to an early UH-60A using the left over open exhausts from the HH-60H kit. That is/was the great part about the KH H-60 kits. They did like Dragon and added extra sprues for different versions, and they are modular so you can mix and match parts from different kits to get different versions.

11bee Posted June 4, 2021 Author Share Posted June 4, 2021 Order placed with Sprue Brothers. Not thrilled about having to drop $135 on a model I won't be building for probably a year but it beats having to pay twice as much (or maybe more) on Ebay once current stock is depleted. I also wonder if I should grab a few WW and Live Resin sets as well.... Anyone know if the WW UH-60L update set and the stencil decals will ever be available again?

I have been thinking on the same line. I dont really want to buy it but I had been thinking to order their MH-60R because in a few months time, it will be impossible to buy at a justifiable price.

Floyd S. Werner, Jr. Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Don't forget that Werner's Wings has a backdate set for the UH/MH-60A/L. Floyd Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Any update you can provide on whether you'll be restocking the H-60 stencils and the resin Upgrade set? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Floyd S. Werner, Jr. Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 (edited) The resin update I'm working on. The stencils are a no go unless you buy the UH-60-Workhorse of the Army set. Floyd Edited June 8, 2021 by Floyd S. Werner, Jr. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I found that not to be a good way to do it from a business point of view, because what would happen is I'd end up with a bunch of aircraft markings with no stencils. You have to buy decals in batches of either 250 (Microscale) or 300 (Cartograf). You can't just buy an extra 50 or 100 stencil sheets. Floyd Edited June 8, 2021 by Floyd S.

Stupid question but can someone tell me if Lima’s have the rectangular folding horizontal stab with the hand holes or does it have the earlier tapered stab?

Standard UH-60A and UH-60L models have the pointy stabilator. WW has one in his backdate set or you can use one left over from an Academy MH kit.

hawkwrench Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 The backdate set would be the way to go. The stabilator was 3d CAD'd by a former 60 crew chief using the dimensions of the square stabilator from the MH-60L kit. The Academy stabilator is way out of size for the KH kit. Go with the backdate set. It will be worth it!!! Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also - let me know if you would consider selling the ballistic blankets from your MH-60L set as a separate item. John Edited June 16, 2021 by 11bee Quote Link to post Share on other sites
