Mike Grant enters
the world of rotary-wing aviation with one of his newest releases. This 1/48th
scale limited edition screen printed decal sheet covers three colorful CAG SH-60
Sea Hawks in US Navy service;
1. SH-60B Sea Hawk
Bu. No.162329, HSL-41 'Seahawks'
2. SH-60F Sea
Hawk Bu. No. 164460, HS-14 'Chargers'
3. SH-60B Sea Hawk
Bu. No. 162109, HSL-49 'Scorpions'
The decals are in
register with excellent color depth. To insure perfect registration, some
markings are printed separately. The two-part instruction/placement guides
have full color side profiles for all three helos with an abbreviated top
and bottom view for general placement of the stars-n-bars insignia. The second
sheet contains four photos showing various details on the SH-60 airframe. Paint
information is given via FS codes for not only the TPS scheme, but the colors
needed for the vibrant tail art on all three helos. The kit recommended for
use is Italeri's 1/48th SH-60B, with a Cobra Company SH-60F conversion set for
use on the HS-14 'Chargers' Sea Hawk. Mike Grant also suggests the DPDP
Helicopters Vol. 1 reference CD for a more detailed walk around of the
SH-60 (available from www.dpdproductions.com).
The cost of the decal set is $12.50 USD, shipping included. This set is a
must for all US Navy/helicopter enthusiasts and fills a needed niche in CAG
aircraft.
