Academy is to release a new variant from their 1/35th UH-60 Blackhawk kit (http://www.cybermodeler.com/hobby/kits/aca/kit_aca_2192.shtml), the Sikorky MH-60S "Knighthawk" - ref.

A test shot was on display at the IPMS USA Nats 2014.

Ahhh sweet! I really like Academy's big choppers too. an unexpected but very welcome release. Top job!!!

I may be wrong(I usually am), but I thought the tail wheel was further up for the Navy version.

The MH-60S Seahawk is a hybrid, basically a UH-60L Black Hawk with everything above the cabin/cockpit coming from an SH-60B Seahawk. Makes sense TBH, apart from the tailwheel not being moved forward...

The 'Batwing' version (as in the photo's above) just looks like a brute, would look very nice in an Vietnam era HAL-3 commemorative scheme!
