The UH100 'the what-if' Black Hawk

[tiking]

Another old build:

First of all, I must say that the Italeri,UH-60/MH-60 BLACK HAWK 'night raid' 1/48 scale kit, sucked big time. Maybe it was my bad luck but the fittings has one of the worst fittings I have ever experienced. Not only that, but the instructions was so bad. 🙁 Thank goodness, I was not trying to duplicate any particular prototype model, which would have been a disaster. At the end, things were so misaligned that I just had to improvised, to hide certain areas. It helped, but only to an extend. So forgive me, if certain areas do not look that they have a perfect fitting. But, that was the best I could do. The engines rotate, for take off and flight mode.Anyways, here is kit-bashed, modified, with a little scratch building involved, which resulted in this 'UH100 Black Hawk Stealth design. Basically a 'What-if' project.

Hope you like the results, regardless of the difficulties I have had trying to put this build together. This is me having fun.

Very sweet! Ya know, that is not too far off the mark from the Bell V-280 that the Army selected to replace the Blackhawk. If you canted the tail fins upward, you'd have an even closer creation.

Thanks. Yeah, I did see that variant of theirs and I much say, it's the most ugliest design I have ever seen.

Wow! This is fun. Very cool and awesome work as always.

Two thumbs up! Who knows that kind of design will come true? You better file for patent now before it is too late so you can be rich if they want to use your design. 🤪

I remember seeing this one either here or abroad at some point. Very good imaginative work on this and it just all looks feasible. Tremendous efforts and very well done.
