Would be nice if they included the fold-up seat for the starboard aft cabin wall.

Based on the sprue layout of their previous MH-60L and HH-60G kits, there will be plenty of extra folding seats to add one to that position and one next to the radar operators seat (like below).

Still awaiting a 1/35th USCG Jayhawk!

KH may be working on a Jay Hawk. Floyd Werner is pressing them to anyways. Once they have the naval fuselage, it wouldn't take much to do a USCG Jay Hawk.

Or do your own... MH-60J ... again, having the naval fuselage from the above SH-60B kit would make it infinitely easier.

Some pics of a build-up shown. It looks more like an MH-60R with the FLIR turret and other lumps and bumps. It is looking good though. It now has the folded tail as well...nice. It should be available soon.
