Mike Grant enters the world of rotary-wing aviation with one of his newest releases. This 1/48th scale limited edition screen printed decal sheet covers three colorful CAG SH-60 Sea Hawks in US Navy service;

1. SH-60B Sea Hawk  Bu. No.162329, HSL-41 'Seahawks'

2. SH-60F Sea Hawk Bu. No. 164460, HS-14 'Chargers'

3. SH-60B Sea Hawk Bu. No. 162109, HSL-49 'Scorpions'

The decals are in register with excellent color depth. To insure perfect registration, some markings are printed separately. The two-part instruction/placement guides have full color side profiles for all three helos with an abbreviated top and bottom view for general placement of the stars-n-bars insignia. The second sheet contains four photos showing various details on the SH-60 airframe. Paint information is given via FS codes for not only the TPS scheme, but the colors needed for the vibrant tail art on all three helos. The kit recommended for use is Italeri's 1/48th SH-60B, with a Cobra Company SH-60F conversion set for use on the HS-14 'Chargers' Sea Hawk. Mike Grant also suggests the DPDP Helicopters Vol. 1 reference CD for a more detailed walk around of the SH-60 (available from www.dpdproductions.com). The cost of the decal set is $12.50 USD, shipping included. This set is a must for all US Navy/helicopter enthusiasts and fills a needed niche in CAG aircraft.
