ESzczesniak Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Somewhere I got the idea the overhead windows in the SH-60's were tinted either green or a smoke color. If I'm correct looking through reference photos, they seem just standard clear canopy? Can anyone confirm? I'm finding very few overhead shots which would make me feel the most clear. They sometimes look dark, but I think this just related to the areas behind these windows being more dark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

andyf117 Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 Early boxings of the Hasegawa SH-60B kit provided the entire transparency sprue in a 'smoke' tint, but at some point it was changed to an untinted one. I have three examples; two in grey plastic, one in white, and although I distinctly recall seeing the latter when the kit was first released, mine has a 'clear' transparency sprue, as does a later-issue grey one - only the built 1985 Scale Aircraft Modelling magazine review model has the tinted transparencies, like the example shown below: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ESzczesniak Posted July 7 Author Share Posted July 7 Thank you too! Perhaps that explains my difficult calling it from outside photos. And the cockpit photos I was finding were all showing the MIP, and not overhead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
