Werner's Wings provide full colour left and right side views of each aircraft, separate upper and lower schemes and full colour details. A comprehensive history of the MH/HH-60 in USAF service is also provided.

Markings are on two small decal sheets and are in perfect register.

A fantastic and well-researched sheet from Werner's Wings - highly recommended!

NOTE: These decals provide markings for the HH/MH-60G from when first introduced into service up to the current day. If you wish to model an aircraft post-2002, you will need the Armycast conversion set (designed for the Hasegawa kit).
