1/48 Italeri HH-60 Pave Hawk

This model started out as a MH-60 Pave Hawk, I was looking for the HH-60 and could never find it so I transformed this Italeri kit.  Seeing as how I work on the HH-60 I wanted to do this model for a keepsake for myself and to give to my Boys later on.  On my model I had to add some extra's on the inside.  The kit didn't come with the tables that are behind the pilot seats or the extra seats for the pararescue.  I also used a different paint scene then what it suggested.  The kit  suggested I use a medium brown acrylic, but in the true nature of the HH-60 I used dark grey acrylic.  I also used black ink mixed with a little water to make the model look dirty and used.  The worst part about making this model was the seem lines, I used a little putty and sanded it down and I personally don't think their visable anymore.  Other then that I'm really happy with how the model came out.
