For the moment this is a bit of a place marker as I am shortly moving home to a brand-new place so it maybe sometime before I can actually start this one……that’s if I remember where I packed it!!! By the title you will know this will be one of the Mogadishu chopper, in this case one of the Blackhawks. Though at the moment I haven’t decided if it’ll be one of the “Super” birds used in the actual raid or one of the later birds fitted with extra weapons. I’m sort of leading at the moment towards the later. I’m really not sure which came first here, wanting the model or the decals but it was a case I just had to have both. The model is Kittyhawk’s lovely 1/35th MH-60L, unfortunately this one isn’t the one that comes with the extra figures. But I don't see how they would have fitted inside the box anyway, its absolutely packed with plastic loveliness!! But I won’t complain considering how cheap it was!!! I can see myself buying another one of these, maybe a MH-60R “Seahawk” or MH-60S “Knighthawk” when they are released. The decals are from Werner’s Wings and cover all the birds used in this operation including decals for the AH/MH-6J “Littlebirds”. Something like 21 different choppers plus extras for ones used after the deployment. They are beautiful decals and really comprehensive and unfortunately no longer available. Sorry no more photos as they're packed away, the ones above I took some time back, but I've posted a link to the review on them. Decal review It’ll be very much an OOB build…though Eduard do do some nice PE bits for her! The painting should be interesting as they were black all over (well closer to a very black green), so if I don’t want it to appear solid black…….this will be fun! If for some reason I do become time constrained I have a backup plan which is Kittyhawk’s 1/35th AH/MH-6J “Littlebird”, this one does have the extra figures but I’ll be doing one of the MH-6 gunships!
