Jose,
I have not seen this kit but Hobby Boss's other choppers are usually a little sparse in the interior and need work with PE or scratch stuff with the exterior being pretty good for 1/72 kits. A compare of the SH-60 vs Hasegawa's same I like the HB better outside. I find the fit is usually good too. Biggest problem I've encountered is with the CH-46 clear front & side windows molded in one piece with the detail being so faint it is very hard to mask the various panes. Not like this on the SH-60's though.

Jose,
I forgot to mention the Hobby Boss 1-72 Mi-24 Hind as it is the best in that scale. They even did a really nice job on the interior with instrument panels etc. -check out the various reviews & photo galleries. I'd love to get one.
