Interesting set, but a few issues. The actual aircraft that wears these markings is the USN MH-60R, of which there is currently no 1/35 kit available.
1 - Kitty Hawk has a 1/35 MH-60R planned, but it is not due out until next year, maybe Christmas at the earliest, probably much later.
2 - The write up states that it can be used on the Academy kit, but Academy does not make an MH-60R. The Academy kit is an MH-60S, which is not the same aircraft and does not use this scheme.
3 - The set is incomplete since it does not include the distinctive tiger head that is seen on the tail. It doesn't make any sense not to include a mask for them. I guess you have to make them yourself.
