Kitty Hawk's new tooled 1/35 MH-60L

Sometime this month, Kitty Hawk is releasing a new tooled MH-60L Blackhawk helicopter in 1/35 scale. This is the 1st of several models of various H-60's going to be released.
Floyd Werner from Wernerswings along with myself and several other H-60 aircrews have been instrumental in this new model. This looks to be light years ahead of Academy's crappy H-60. We poured a lot of research and critique into this. Hope you guys like it.
Here's a YouTube review of it by Flory Models:

This kit looks to be the King of air beaters if it assembles alright


I'll be watching some build for sure.
 
Hey Hawkwrench! Glad to hear from you! I see these fly around where I live occasionally. Millington TN is just north of me a short ways so I have seen a number of different aircraft at different times.

As I know nothing about these particular aircraft, I will be waiting to hear your critique on this kit.
 
Here's some detail pictures of the new model on a Chinese modeling forum.
I must say, it looks gorgeous! But then again, I'm bias seeing I was a crew chief!

EDIT: Try this!
 
Critique update:
So far, the only gripe I keep hearing about is when you put the 2 fuselage halves together, you have to use ALOT of clamping force to keep them together.
Some modelers are gently sanding the outside of the cabin pillars and then test-fitting the halves until they go together easier.
Other than that, it's a beautiful, accurate model of a MH-60L helicopter.
