Looks pretty good. A note though, weapons are not carried on the wings of standard (green) US Army Black Hawks. The only time the wings are carried is with external fuel tanks, then only two are carried on the outside hard points, like below.

Looks like a fairly old model. the only stand out problem from the pictures is no Collective stick for the left hand pilot.

Nice moldings otherwise. If you have a sh60 Seahawk use its stabilator on the model and you will have a UH-60L that is about the only visible difference at this scale.

Enjoy

That is not correct. The folding, square stabilator is not a feature of the L model. The only outward difference on an L model is the wider step sponsons under the pilots' doors. The folding stabilator is a feature of the MH-60L and the U/MH-60M models. Standard UH-60Ls use the same pointy stabilator as the UH-60A.

Here you see the wider step sponson and pointy stabilator on this UH-60L.

I have seen with my own eyes weapons on the wings of a blackhawk before and their are plenty of real pics showing that. Maybe not that exact model but they can have weapons equipped

Yes they can, but not on a standard US Army UH-60A, as the model is supposed to be. I never said Black Hawks don't/can't carry weapons on external wings, just that standard, green US Army Black Hawks do not.

The only US Army Black Hawks that carry weapons on ESSS (External Stores Support System) wings are Spec Ops MH-60L/M DAP (Direct Action Penetrator) gunships from the 160th SOAR (Spec Ops Aviation Regiment), which are overall black in color. They carry weapons on a shorter ESSS wing with only one hard point per side.

MH-60L DAP

HeavyArty good point on the Stab. Having worked at Sikorsky for the last 20+ years the first L's to go out the door had the Barn Door Stab but at least the last 600 did have the folding Stab of the Navy bird. All the 60M's have the folding Stab.
