Monkey Modelling Paint

ICM plastic model kits 1/48 MH-60L Black Hawk

I had high expectations for this kit, and it did not disappoint. The only downside is that the ESSS stub wings are provided only as the mounting points, not the full wings, which required some surgery using parts from older 1/48 kits.

I wish the photos did a better job of showing the finish. In person, the model has a lot of subtle tonal variation that really enriches the black color. Overall, a very enjoyable build.

Desde Guayaquil tomamos una ruta panorámica rumbo a Salinas y terminamos en un lugar inesperado: una exposición al aire libre de aviones de la FAE… totalmente olvidados, oxidados y consumidos por el mar.
¿Cementerio aéreo o patrimonio perdido? ¿Tú qué opinas?

Una visita que inspira tanto a los amantes de la aviación como a los modelistas que buscan referencias reales de desgaste y envejecimiento.
