Side access steps and shadow of the hoist hook.

Tail detail. Note the rings to attach safety straps.

Tail rotor detial. Very clean appearance. Notice that the Dzus fastener

retainer clips are often unpainted--all the flexing causes the paint to come off.

Testors MM Jet Exhaust is perfect for their cadmium plated appearance.

Skid and tail fold detail. Stabilator is conventional Seahawk folding type.

Note the end of the HF anttenna just forward of the fold line.

The fold ability has been removed. Solid shafts are now installed in HH60Js,

and the folding gear has been removed from teh rotorheads.
