The current “M” model, as a medevac has two major exterior mods,different rotor blade and bubble window in the cargo door. anyone know if there are after market for these two mods.
Does anyone know where I can get good photos, and or diagrams of the blades,especially the tips, where the major modification is.
Thanks. John
The UH-60M composite blades are available in 1/48 from ScaleWorx. He does not maintain a public facing website but is on FB if that is your kind of thing. He also has cast the upturned exhaust. Contact John at info@scaleworx.com for more details.

Not sure on the bubble window.
thanks for the info but working in 1/35 scale, will contact him maybe he can still help John
In 1/35 your best best is to snatch a set of composite rotors from the Academy MH-60L and modify as needed.
Best of luck
The Academy MH-60L rotors are not the same as on the M model. The biggest difference is the down-turned blade tips. They are also wider, but only about 1mm in 1/35.
The only option in 1/35 is the now out of production Cobra Company UH-60M conversion set. It includes a bunch more items than just the blade additions. I reviewed the set here: https://aeroscale.kitmaker.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=Reviews&file=index&req=showcontent&id=9861
CC also made a set for the Upturned Exhaust System seen on the latest M models. https://aeroscale.kitmaker.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=Reviews&file=index&req=showcontent&id=10196
Lone Star Models bought all the Cobra Company masters. He is slowly offering them at his store: https://www.lonestarmodels.com/store
He isn’t currently offering the UH-60M set or the UES, but may make them if you contact him.
thanks for the info Gino. Just had to give you the INFANTRY- QUEEN of BATTLE thing. Spent 29yrs with crossed rifles on my collar. John
No problem. I humped plenty of miles with the infantry as a Co and Bn FSO.
Like I said you can modify the blades from the Academy kit. I dont know of any Mike blades for the 60 series in 1/35th outside of those. I have all the CC sets Gino mentioned. They are interior and exterior correction and detail sets. Good luck with Mike at Lone Star Models.

Here are a few images. The last was my sister’s unit in Ghazni Province for one of her multiple tours.
Sorry, I read your post wrong. Great blade comparison and reference pics.
