Looks like the forthcoming Kitty Hawk HH-60G will also come with a crew, PJs, and casualty. They look pretty nice. The M249 SAW is a little dated though. That version hasn't been used since the late '90s. An easy switch with a modern weapon.

It also looks like the MH-60L will include a crew and a trooper on the FastRope.

Yo Gino,

What is the weapon system on the port pylon, please? Some 20mm gun or something? Cheers,

It is an M230 30mm chain gun. The same gun in the Apache chin turret. It is used on the MH-60L DAP (Direct Action Penetrator) gunship configuration.

It is good to see the additional aircraft models. Is it me or do the figures seem to be too large?

The figures look correct to me. There is not a lot of headroom in a Black Hawk. This guy is standing on the floor.



A little tight for comfort.

In the photo with SPC Welch, that is some weathering there.

Getting closer. Kitty Hawk just released pics of the cabin built up. It looks awsome and is full of details. I can't wait for it to be available.

Gino, these figures are also to be found in the AH/MH-6M, released recently. I broke down and ordered one as a result. Six US SOF and a helo kit for $100NZ, hell yes.

I’m now searching for good images of the pilot figure(s) as a painting guide... if you have any you can share, please.

Kitty Hawk has announced that the MH-60L should be arriving at distributors sometime in April. Hopefully it is early and the HH-60G and Navy Hawks follow it quickly.

It has been discovered that the original boxings did not come with the ESSS wing connection point fairings. If yours does not, contact Sofia at Kitty Hawk Customer service and she will send you a set.
