ICM 48th Scale H-60 Series Inbound

[11bee]

Apparently ICM just announced 48th scale MH-60L & UH-60A's.    Great news, given the quality that ICM typically provides.  Now if they will only upscale them to 35th, I would be quite pleased.

Lets jump on the mod questions already then. What needs to be done to make a L-model from the A? Our local Tn NG has the converted Limas.

Most of the changes are internal to engines and avionics.  The IP is a little different on an L as well with a couple different analog dials/gauges.  On the outside, the only major difference is that the A had narrow step sponsons below the pilots' doors.  The L had added roll stabilizers for the main landing gear which widened the step sponsons by about 6 inches.

UH-60A narrow step sponsons.

 

UH-60L wider step sponsons.  Notice the additional width outboard of the step.

Back to the IP - where did you read/see/hear about this? Just curious because there's nothing on their FB page, nothing on their YT channel and nothing on their website. Seems pretty significant though.

Holy crap, yes.
