Скачать или смотреть The NEW ICM 1/48 Black Hawk Is Here – MH-60L Special Forces Unboxing

The MH-60L Black Hawk is a Special Operations variant of the UH-60, developed specifically for the U.S. Army’s elite 160th SOAR (Special Operations Aviation Regiment), also known as the Night Stalkers. Designed for covert insertion, fast rope deployment, and high-risk missions, this helicopter has been a backbone of U.S. operations since the 1990s.

Until now, scale modelers had only one mainstream option in 1/48 scale: the Italeri Black Hawk, first released back in 2001. Despite a few reissues and updates, the Italeri kit feels its age—with soft detail, basic engineering, and several accuracy issues. It served a purpose, but the demand for a modern, high-quality Black Hawk kit remained strong for over two decades.

Now, ICM answers that call with a brand-new tooling of the MH-60L in 1/48 scale. This isn’t just a one-off kit—it's the foundation of a full new UH-60 family, with future variants already announced. In this video, we break down the contents of the box, analyze each sprue, and take a closer look at what makes this kit stand out.

✅ PROS
Sharp, crisp surface detail with a mix of recessed and raised elements
Brand-new tooling designed for multiple UH-60 variants
Includes mission-specific details like the refueling probe, miniguns, and detailed cabin interior
Clear parts are well molded, with nice clarity
Solid decal sheet with options for multiple Night Stalkers aircraft

❌ CONS
No engine detail included
Rotor head is somewhat basic—aftermarket detailing may help
Canopy parts molded very close to the framing—leaves little room for error with glue
No texturing on interior bulkheads (e.g. quilting, insulation)
Cabin build could feel complex due to many support bars and seats

For modelers seeking an accurate, well-detailed representation of the MH-60L—and a modern alternative to the Italeri kit—this ICM release sets a new standard in 1/48 scale helicopters.

If you're into rotorcraft, special operations kits, or just love clean, modern toolings—this one's worth your bench time.
