I have a few questions on the Black Hawk I hope you can Help me with;

- Can a Black Hawk lift a Humvee ?
- How large is the 1:35 Vlack Hawk from Academy ?
- Are there any aftermarket goodies and possibly a crew for the 1:35 Black Hawk ?

Thanks in advance,
Marc

Yes, as you can see from above, very easily. Blackhawk can lift about 8,000 lbs.

18" long, 18" rotorspan.

Cobra Company has a bunch of resin upgrades and addons. Eduard has 2 PE sets, interior and exterior.

The Academy kit is great. I highly recommend it. Check out my selected link below to see the 2 versions of it I have built. I have two more waiting in the stash to build as well.

I've got the Pave Hawk in my stash. I'll be getting some of those add-ons that HeavyArty mentioned, because I really want to go all out with this kit.

I've heard nothing but good reviews of the whole family of UH-60 kits. Academy really hit it out of the park with these. If I can get lucky enough to find another at Hobby Lobby for 1/2 off (like my first one), I'd seriously consider getting another one.
