The MH-60 series of helicopters are a highly modified version of the standard U.S. Army Black Hawk, they are flown exclusively by the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR). The primary mission of the MH-60 Black Hawk helicopters were designed to provide medium and utility helicopter support to special operations forces such as Navy Seals, Delta Force, and 75th Army Ranger, across a wide range of environmental conditions. These aircraft feature several modifications: Forward Looking Infra-Red (FLIR) allowing for low-level allweather day/night flying, variety of offensive weapons systems including 2 window mounted M134 Minigun, advanced GPS/Inertial navigation and other mission specific systems.
Includes one Night Stalker pilot action figure and one Navy Seal action figure.
Designed as a better-performing, more reliable replacement for the UH-1 Huey, the UH-60 Black Hawk was first flown on November 29, 1974. The Black Hawk was one of the first aircraft to use the General Electric T700, a common turbine engine designed for use in multiple Army helicopters. This four-bladed, twin-engined, medium-lift aircraft has a low-profile shape so that it can be transported aboard the C-130 Hercules. It also has greater survivability than the helicopter it replaced, with advanced avionics and electronics such as the Global Positioning System (GPS). The Black Hawk also serves as Marine One when transporting the President of the United States. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.

DISCLAIMER - Please Read
Please keep in mind that large scale plastic models are not scaled-up versions of their smaller diecast cousins. They are pre-assembled from a large number of components and production compromises are often made to keep them within reach of the casual collector's budget. Factory painting, glueing and alignment discrepencies are often visible upon close inspection. The models arrive paritially deconstructed and do require time to un-package and assemble prior to display. Assembly mostly consists of pushing together snap-fitting parts although a little attention with a sharp hobby knife and/or superglue is sometimes required to achieve the best fit.
In summary, with a little effort, these models can make fantastic, attention-grabbing showpieces from a reasonable viewing distance. Up close however, their more toy-like qualities will become apparent. We regret that we are unable to accept returns on these items for minor fit and finish issues.
