Here are the latest pics of Italeri 1/48 Seahawk, SH-60B. In the first pics it show the installment of the High Frequency (HF) antenna using Evergreens .040 rod for the posts and 0.4mm for the antenna. It was painted with Model Masters light ghost gray over a black pre-shade. A gray oil was used to bring out the panel lines and a mixture of flat black and NATO brown was spray on for the exhaust stains. I used the kits decals, I still have just a bit more touching up to do.

Hi Joe!

You really take the best out of these grey paintshemes! I'm sure you could handle these paintjobs with your eyes closed!

Brilliant job!
