This special 1/35 decal sheet is designed for Werner's Wings US Coast Guard MH-60T Jayhawk conversion set as an add-on sheet and has been approved by Werner's Wings.

Four specific CGAS Kodiak MH-60T options are provided, all sporting Kodiak's unique dark blue tails with bear paw print and Big Dipper/Polaris markings, and each option with an aircrew award marking. Also provided are two options for CGAS New Orleans, the most recent MH-60T operator.

What does the conversion to MH-60T entail you may ask: refurbished air frames, new digital avionics, communication, navigation and flight instrumentation. Basically, the interior of the aircraft will be new

For those that don’t know, Floyd Werner is basically the helicopter guy for just about anything…..in a literal sense, and a prolific model builder. These days you can just about expect it if it involves a rotary winged system. He has his hands in it!

MH-60S

The book “The East Pomeranian Offensive, 1945: Destruction of German Forces in Pomerania and West Prussia” is a fully illustrated account of the offensive that took place before the Soviets pushed toward Berlin in 1945. Before that final drive toward the Nazi capital, the Russians wanted to clear the areas in the northern part of occupied Poland and reach the Baltic Sea to ensure the northern flank of the Red Army was secured during their advance toward Berlin. The Soviet advance created a series of German encirclement's that had to be dealt with. Many of the encircled areas were heavily fortified, although the fast Russian drive forced the German to build some of these fortifications in haste, making them less effective. There were some key cities like Danzig and Kolberg (today’s Gdańsk and Kołobrzeg, respectively) that the Germans were determined to hold at all cost to ensure an uninterrupted route for supplying their troops by the sea remained in place.

Anything that makes a model look better than a basic build is OK with me, whether it is resin, photo-etch, masks, or decals. Enter YAHU 3D instrument panels, these aftermarket instrument panels are the best thing since sliced bread.

I have a 1/32 HKM A-20G in my stash and when I saw the YAHU instrument panel for this model I snatched it up. The initial look at the package, I thought, wow these look better than I expected. The replacement panel comes with 3D photo-etch for the instrument panel and other subpanels in the cockpit. The instructions are not very detailed about where some of the other pieces go.
