ICM 1/48 UH-60A Black Hawk Defence Intelligence of Ukraine (48362)

In this article you will learn more about ICM 1/48 UH-60A Black Hawk Defence Intelligence of Ukraine (48362). New kit comes as yet another version of the famous helicopter in the popular scale. Previous releases were quite interesting, so it will be good to check what is new here. Packaging is typical, so all frames come in one plastic bag. In total there are 256 parts which should assemble into a model with 414mm length. Let's open them all and take a closer look together.
By the way, here you can read review with another version of the same helicopter.

Watch this video-review where I show all parts even closer.


The first frame is one of the biggest here and carries parts for the main rotor, engine nozzles and some of the cockpit panels. Premolded features look good, and it should be easy to install them on the build.


Cargo compartment can be assembled with the seats or without them. Such choice might be useful for some build ideas. Note that seatbelts are not included here.


Kit is full of thin parts, so be careful with those. In some cases you will have to install them with tweezers.


I like the overall design of the fuselage as the panels division is done in logical way. Note also separate doors which can be opened on your build.


Both halves are molded with tail section, but the top and bottom panels come as separate parts. External features are classic and include recessed panel lines and raised rivets.


Today's version will use alternative fuselage half which you can see on the photo above. There you can also check one of the rotor blades.


Tailwing should be glued out of two halves. Here you can also see the new chin panel for the nose area.


Clear frame is packed into separate plastic bag. Overall molding quality looks great, and there is a masking template included in the kit.


Decals sheet is not that big, but you will find all necessary symbols for several markings. Note also two versions of the instrument panel. Both options can be seen on the photo below.


Assembly manual is typical for this brand. Below you can see all pages for this brochure.










New Black Hawk should be already available for purchase. In my opinion ICM did a great job, and we have quite nice aircraft kit in popular scale. Moreover, there are a lot of things included out of the box, so it might be handy for modelers who don't want to spend extra money. I wouldn't say that this is a perfect pick for beginner, but those with some experience should be able to get a nice result overall.
