About product

Exhausts for the Black Hawk in 1:48 scale

An accessory set of replacement exhausts for models of the MH-60L and UH-60A helicopters, that is, machines of the Black Hawk family, cut for the ICM kit in 1:48 scale. It replaces the exhaust stacks from the kit with finished parts.

Why exhausts get replaced

The exhausts sit on the sides of the superstructure above the cabin, exactly where the eye and the camera lens fall. In a kit they tend to be split into two halves, so a seam is left on them that has to be sanded, and their mouth tends to be blind. A finished part has a thin wall all the way round and an open mouth, so the exhaust looks like a pipe and not like a sticker on the fuselage.

Building and painting tips

  • The parts are not polystyrene, so use cyanoacrylate glue to fit them.
  • Cut the excess material off with a sharp blade a little way from the part and sand the rest away.
  • Wash and degrease the parts before painting; the exact procedure is given in the manufacturer's instructions.
  • Seat the exhausts dry, check their angle and only then fix them in place.
  • Apply the metallic shades and the dark sooting at the very end, so that they stay matte.

Painting the exhaust

On the real machine the area around the exhaust is among the most heavily stressed places: the metal takes on a brown color in the heat and a band of deposits runs back along the side from the mouth. It is exactly this transition that makes the difference between a finished model and a model on which you can see that it flew. Work from the base shade through a dry brush on the edges to a faint touch of pigment in the direction of the airflow.

Who the set is for

For builders of the Black Hawk in 1:48 scale from the ICM kit who want to rid the model of blind exhaust mouths. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The MH-60L and UH-60A kits from ICM in 1:48 scale. On a model from another manufacturer the shapes of the parts need not match.

They are not polystyrene, and cement for polystyrene will not join them. Use cyanoacrylate glue and wash and degrease the mating faces beforehand.

An open exhaust mouth and a thin wall with no seam between two halves. The exhaust then looks like a pipe and not like a sticker on the fuselage.

A base shade, metallic accenting of the edges with a dry brush and, at the end, matte sooting with pigment running back along the side of the fuselage.
