1:48 ICM 48368 UH-60A Black Hawk with ESSS and Skis – American Transport Helicopter Plastic Model kit

The 1:48 ICM 48368 UH-60A Black Hawk with ESSS and Skis - American Transport Helicopter is a plastic model kit of a legendary multirole helicopter that became the backbone of U.S. Army aviation and many armed forces worldwide. The UH-60 Black Hawk prototype made its first flight on October 17, 1974, and in 1979 the aircraft officially entered service with the 101st Airborne Division.

This version with ESSS and skis gives your modelling project an extra rugged and operational appearance. The External Stores Support System with special fuselage-mounted pylons allows the carriage of external fuel tanks with a capacity of 230 or 450 gallons, while the skid landing gear is designed for landings on deep snow or soft, swampy tundra terrain. The result is a Black Hawk with strong mission character and excellent diorama potential.

Features:
– Plastic model kit in 1:48 scale of the ICM 48368 UH-60A Black Hawk with ESSS and Skis, presented as an American transport helicopter with a powerful multirole appearance
– Historical subject based on the UH-60 Black Hawk, whose prototype first flew on October 17, 1974, and officially entered service with the 101st Airborne Division in 1979
– Known as a legendary multirole helicopter and the backbone of U.S. Army aviation and many armed forces worldwide
– Combat debut in Grenada in 1983, where the Black Hawk demonstrated exceptional survivability by withstanding hits from up to 23 mm rounds and continuing to fly even with significant damage
– Equipped with the External Stores Support System, consisting of special pylons mounted to the fuselage for carrying external fuel tanks with a capacity of 230 or 450 gallons
– With the ESSS configuration, the one-way ferry range increases to 2,132 kilometers, while the setup requires increased pilot attention and skill during flight operations
– Fiberglass skid landing gear is designed to improve landings on deep snow or soft, swampy tundra terrain, while the wheels pass through openings in the skids for taxiing on paved runways
– Skid-equipped configuration brings limitations, including reduced maximum flight speed, landings only on relatively level surfaces, somewhat restricted cabin access and more complicated loading operations
– Skid configuration is typical for certain U.S. National Guard units, making this scale model a strong choice for modern military helicopter modelling and realistic mission scenes
