ICM 1:48 UH-60A Black Hawk US Military Transport Helicopter

The ICM 1:48 UH-60A Black Hawk (US Military Transport Helicopter) is a plastic scale model kit of the Sikorsky UH-60A Black Hawk, the standard utility helicopter of the United States Army.

About the aircraft

The UH-60A Black Hawk is a twin-engine, multi-role military helicopter introduced in the late 1970s to replace older utility types like the UH-1 Huey. It is designed for troop transport, medevac, cargo movement, and general battlefield support.

The UH-60A is the first production variant of the Black Hawk family and has seen widespread service in conflicts including:

• the Gulf War

• Iraq War

• Afghanistan

• numerous NATO and peacekeeping operations

Its rugged design, armour protection, and redundancy systems make it one of the most versatile helicopters in modern military aviation. (ICM Holding)
