Aftermarket sets for 1/72 Seahawk/Blackhawk?

Modeling Subjects Helicopters

Hello everyone!

I’ve been asked to build the Italeri 1/72 scale SH-60B Seahawk for the husband of a friend of mine. I’ve read a couple of reviews on this kit and they say it’s a pretty decent one. One review, however, said the seats could use some improving. I think the last time I built a model helicopter was back in 1982 when I was 12 years old! LOL! So I was wondering if there are any aftermarket update sets out there for this model which someone could recommend. The scary part is that the husband’s helicopter is/was the exact same one featured on the Italeri box! No pressure to make this thing look good (tongue in cheek).

Thanks for any hints and tips!

Eric

I take it by the lack of responses that the answer is “no”.

Just found this post so I did a bit of searching and came up with this. It is designed for the Hasegawa kit so I don’t know how much would be useable on the Italeri kit.

It is sold out at Hannants but somebody else may stock it.

There is a link to the Eduard online catalogue to let you view the instructions for the set. You will need a PDF reader though.

Hope this helps.

David,

Thank you for the response and the great lead! I saw that Hannants is sold out so I will try to track it down elsewhere. I greatly appreciate it!
