Header overview

In the box there are options to make either US Navy Seahawk or a Japanese Rescue Seahawk, I'll do it in US Navy scheme to follow my first ship ever, the USS Ingraham FFG-61.

From initial inspection, this seems to be a decent kit with the asking price although there are a few area that need a few enhancement to make it at least 50% similar to the actual helo.

Specifically the interior (although it will be hidden once the fuselage is closed) need a few modification that i'll discuss more later on.

This Helicopter also will be parked on a base made to represent the helipad onboard the USS Ingraham. Will be build with a folded rotor-blade and also some of the intake closed.
