Snap-together Black Hawk, 1:144

[josta59]

I've wanted a Black Hawk on my table for years. I bought this "puzzle model" of a UH-60A Black Hawk in 1:144, made in East Asia, on eBay. Couldn't tell you the name of the company, since it's all in...Chinese, I think. It took me about twenty minutes to assemble. I'm impressed that such a small model can be a snap-together, no glue needed. 



The hardest part was the tiny missiles on the weapon wings. Those wings make me think of a Russian Hind, and I love them. They're not pictured on the box, so that was a pleasant surprise.

I'll paint some of these parts next time I have paint out for another project.

It came with a stand, but it won't sit on the stand, so that would need to be glued. I probably won't use the stand.


"Get to tha choppa!"

Ooooooooh, that’s sweet!!! I love the looks of hat model…and it adds a lot of options for cool scenarios. There are flight stands out there that you might consider, like these …a small drilled hole in the bottom of the model and CA glue will hold it permanently, though I use them without glue so I can stow easier, as well as some scenarions where I want them on the ground. For my space fighting capital ship miniatures, I use something similar to these (…those are the updated versions!)

The main rotor even spins. How many minis have that feature?

Great looking model Scott. That will make a nice addition to your table.
