I got the other version of the 1/18 scale black hawk and it has M134 Mini Guns on each door just in back of the pilot's front doors , but doesn't have the drop tanks, I also have the 1/18 Bell OH-58 Kiowa and the 1/18 scale Huey that says Easy Rider on the side. I want to get the AH -6 little bird. I also bought Elite Forces Seal time 5 piece kit, they look great on the Black hawk and the Bell Kiowa.

anti collision light is on top of the tail. the red component on top of the cabin is the ALQ-144 inferred missel counter measures. the big fin on the tail is the stabalator. the rope hoist on the side is actually a cable rescue hoist. in an actual blackhawk there are 4 seats in the very back with another 4 seats facing them with 3 seats facing forward and the 2 crewchief seats. the box on the tail boom is the chaff dispenser. The wings are the esss (external stores support system).if you have any questions about what else is on the blackhawk comment and i will answer. I know this because I am a retired blackhawk crewchief with thousands of flight hours logged on blackhawks.

[@danielgolschneider8002]

I have way less time around these and only the M model (which this is not) but I’ll piggy back off Charles’ expert comment here. You’re correct that the strips on the stabilator are lights (they kind of appear like big glow in the dark strips) and not reflectors, they’re called Formation Lights and there should be two more of them on the tail boom, one near the cabin and one near the tail pylon-in nighttime formation flight a tailing aircraft can line them up in different ways to help maintain a steady angle (typically 30 or 45 degrees). The fuselage is indeed called a fuselage as well haha! ACFT just stands for aircraft, though I don’t actually know what the TF is for.

[@devgru8197]

Yes, that is a hoist not typically used for rappelling/fast roping.

[@Cleared_To_Land]

Oh I want one of those!!! Friend of mine was painting one for me in Australian Army Livery. I have over 3500 hours piloting them. To answer some of your questions mate. 1:13 yes it's an external fuel tank as part of the External Extended Range Fuel System, EERFS (We call em' jugs!). You can fit four jugs on the HSS but the struts are all wrong on this model as they are supposed to attach next to the pylon, not to it. 3:09 Horizontal Stores Support HSS (Wings), but yes the fuel tanks do connect to the "pylons" below. No the Black Hawk didn't have weapons on the HSS, just Jugs. Battle Hawk has the weapons. Only Door Guns for Black Hawk. 3:25 Those are Position Lights. The Red on the Left and should be a Green on the right. For Port and Starboard lights like a ship. Unfortunately this model seems to have a blue on the right. 4:27 That's the hoist. For hoisting (winching) people up and down the wire. Not rappelling. Rappelling is done from the Fast Rope Insertion Extraction System, FRIES, which comes out of the cabin doors both sides attached to the roof. 4:43 It's a stablitor... not a stabilizer.. It's a fly-by-wire component that does a few things for the Black Hawk, but mostly to move from full down in the hover to trailing edge up around zero for foward flight which provides stability and helps it slow down when coming back to the hover. 5:08 Fuselage is correct. Made up of the nose, cockpit, cabin, transition section, tail boom and tail rotor pylon. 5:18 What you are grabbing this is the Hover Infrared Supression System, HIRSS module, on the exhaust. It reduces the IR signature of the hot exhause by mixing cooler air with the exhaust. 5:30 That's the FM homing antenna. 6:12 That's not the ani-collision light. It's an IRCM. AN/ALQ-144 which is an IR missle counter measure Jammer which uses IR energy to confuse and prevent lockon of IR missle seeker heads. 7:23 Those are lights, they are formation lights. Visible lights that also reflect sunlight for day formation flight. There should be two more. One in between the engine exhausts on the centreline, and one halfway down the tail boom on the centreline. You line these up for the 2 Rotor Diameter formation positions for left and right of the lead aircraft. Thanks for posting and hope I've answered everthing. BTW, I have no idea what some of those decals means. The anchor is the anchor point, and usually has another symbol for the jacking point. But other than that, the serial numbers look legit. Happy modelling!

At times I do wish I still owned them but riding my Harley was well worth it . I sold off my entire helicopter collection too , all 3 of my spitfires , both my zeros too as I have serious health issues and needed the funds for medical expenses .

@@MilitaryVehicleReviews I hope you do keep them as they will bring you joy later in life and the value of each aircraft will keep going up and up since they are no longer in production and as you probably already know just finding them is becoming quite difficult most collectors don't sell them unless they need the funds or want to make a big cash score , also you will regret selling them if you do as I do and you'll wish you had them back .

The anchor is where you tie-down to. I only used them once and that was for tie-down on a C-5. The anti collision light is mounted underneath the tailboom. Crewchiefs on army acft sit on the side of the tail rotor and this is why the hoist/winch is mounted there. The red looking light is the ALQ144. It's not red. It's like individual mirrors that have a smokey yellow look if my memory is right. I gonna subscribe. Thx

You installed the doors backwards, the handle goes forward. The level of detail is impressive in most areas, but weirdly off in others. For instance the support struts for the wings attach at the top of the vertical pylon, not at the bottom. An additional fuel tank can go on that pylon. The rear facing row of seats has 4 across in a real UH-60, for a total of 11 passenger seats and 4 crew seats. The rope piece is a rescue hoist, not a rappel device. Another part that is oddly off is the bifilar assembly. This is the cross piece on top of the rotor head. On a real aircraft it is offset 45 degrees from the orientation of the blades. The holes in the bifilar assembly are not empty on a real rotor head, they actually have free floating counter-weights to help with vibration absorbsion. I am sure I would find more issues if I watched the video a few more times, but it would probably drive me crazy as a Blackhawk crew chief.

[@DavidRLentz]

Had I made such a build, I would appreciate you for your experience and expertise for how you would enable me to enhance my accuracy. I only wish I could find people like you in every field PRIOR to my commencing assembly. In fact, if I could afford it, I would build two: the second for the accuracy consultant. I have seen masterful types who could impart details that had me shaking with awe! A car in 1:25th scale with a key in the ignition, and some rod that connected all the cylinders for the engine's piston cycle; and literally HUNDREDS of similar details! He could be working in a museum making master works of historical dioramas! He is a South Korean fellow who for his mediocre English skills could not quite explain what I had wanted. Frankly, were I rich, I would pay him full-time just to build kits for me, just so I could watch pending my own build!

Great model & review! Excellent model engineering for fast & easy assembly. The detailed crew figures in different action poses in the UH-60 helicopter model bring "life" to the model, & would look great in a diorama. The large 1/18 scale is amazing! Does the door winch cable raise & lower? I used to have a G.I. Joe helicopter toy years ago, & it had an operating winch, as I recall, & the toy was quite large. But otherwise, it was basically a generic "helicopter"(not based on any real helicopter), & was simple on detail. I would have much rather had this UH-60 helicopter model, but it didn't exist then-lol!

[@shadovanish7435]

The small print on some of the model parts is called "stenciling", it is spray painted on a part or section of a (full size) aircraft using a stencil mask. Stenciling is used on aircraft & equipment, & the stencil information is for maintenance personnel. The "anchor point" stencil is for a tie-down location to secure the helicopter from movement in high winds, I believe. There would be several of these anchor points on the helicopter.

[@shadovanish7435]

@@MilitaryVehicleReviews On the G.I. Joe helicopter toy, the winch was operated by rotating a ring with fingers, if I recall correctly (winch was not motorized), & the rotors would spin by repeatedly pressing on a button located below the rotor mast.
