So I was checking out Lucky Models website this afternoon and see a listing for 1/48 HH-60J (UPGRADED MOULDS).

Sooooooo. I know that the Skunkmodels kit is the original Italeri HH-60J with their own upgrades, does anybody know how Italeri's new "UPGRADED MOULDS" release fits in?

I'd be interested in knowing this too if anyone has this kit now?

I have seen both kits and the Skunk Models one looks better to me. It is still incomplete though and I would still use the Cobra Company conversion set and Fireball Modelworks decals on it.

Here is a good build of teh Skunk models kit. You can see what was added and fixed on it.
