This four bladed, twin engine army helicopter is capable of combat, assault, medivac, personnel transport and more. In all, there are about 30 variants. The first entered service in 1979. Produced by Sikorsky, it is their longest production project ever. In use by about 20 nations, and after nearly 50 years, it remains the U.S. Army's versatile workhorse.

The newest modifications in this UH-60M variant (12135), include vertical exhaust stacks to reduce its heat signature; new blades and rotor head; the newest cockpit flight instrumentation; Radar Warning Receiver, chaff and flares to confuse enemy radar; M-type engine nozzle device.

Of course, the kit includes Academy's usual attention to detail like two complete sets of flight controls; build the port engine bay open and reveal the beautifully captured details of a T700 engine with APU duct; a main cabin with 10 crew and troop seats; rotor head, main rotor and tail rotor assembly are flawlessly reproduced; cockpit with a pair of armored seats with sliding side armor protection.
