Print Scale 1/72 Sikorsky Hawks (Helicopter) Decals

By Matt Bittner

Now that we have WW1 and WW2 out of the way from Print Scale, they now turn their attention to more modern times. The set of decals is unusual in their subject matter, covering the Sikorsky H-60 family of helicopters, not only U.S. Army, but Air Force and Navy, as well. The following choppers are covered:

• MH-60, Helicopter Sea Combat (HSC) Squadron Two, “Fleet Angels”, Naval Air Station (NAS) Norfolk, Virginia, June 2008: overall Light Ghost Gray with a Gloss Blue and Red tail
• SH-60B, Helicopter Squadron Light (HSL) 49 “Scorpions”, NAS Nord Island, San Diego, CA: Light Ghost Gray with a Flat Red tail
• SH-60B, HSL-51 “Warlords”, NAF Atsugi, Japan: Light Ghost Gray with a Flat Red tail finished with some awesome Samuri markings
• MH-60S, HSC-25 “Island Knights”, Guam: Light Ghost Gray with a Medium Blue tail
• UH-60, U.S. Army, Desert Storm: mainly overall Sand with some Olive Drab
• UH-60A, U.S. Army, 101^st Airborne “Midnight Blue”, Desert Storm: overall Olive Drab
• UH-60A, U.S. Army, 101^st Airborne “Infidel II”, Desert Storm: overall Olive Drab
• MH-60G, U.S.A.F., Armed Special Operations and Combat Rescue: Medium Gunship Gray, Light Green and Dark Green
• UH-60A, U.S. Army, 101^st Airborned “Double Vision”, Desert Storm: overall Olive Drab
• MH-60A, U.S. Army, 3^rd Armored Division configured with early IR suppression system on the exhaust: overall Olive Drab

Like the rest of the Print Scale decals already covered, the decals themselves are matt but appear to be in register and look good.

My thanks to Print Scale for the review set.
