HO Scale 1:87 Sikorsky UH-60 Blackhawk Helicopter Trainload - US Army - OD Green

Can be built as shown or used as trainload. See pictures. 

All components are static. 

Model will ship partially assembled. The landing gear is attached. The rotor mast and blades, as well as the tail rotor will need to be assembled and or glued into place. Some modification, sanding, or adjustments may be needed. It took me about 5 minutes to assemble the model you see in the pictures. If you wish to glue the components into place, I recommend plain old super glue. Traditional modeling adhesives do not work well on resin models.

The Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk is a four-blade, twin-engine, medium-lift military utility helicopter manufactured by Sikorsky Aircraft. Sikorsky submitted a design for the United States Army's Utility Tactical Transport Aircraft System (UTTAS) competition in 1972. The Army designated the prototype as the YUH-60A and selected the Black Hawk as the winner of the program in 1976, after a fly-off competition with the Boeing Vertol YUH-61.

Named after the Native American war chief Black Hawk,[2] the UH-60A entered service with the U.S. Army in 1979, to replace the Bell UH-1 Iroquois as the Army's tactical transport helicopter. This was followed by the fielding of electronic warfare and special operations variants of the Black Hawk. Improved UH-60L and UH-60M utility variants have also been developed.

Major variants include the Navy's SH-60 Seahawk, the Air Force's HH-60 Pave Hawk, the Coast Guard's MH-60 Jayhawk and the civilian S-70. In addition to use by U.S. armed forces, the UH-60 family has been exported to several nations and produced under contract in Japan as the Mitsubishi H-60.
