HH-60H Rescue Hawk (1/35)

The HH-60H Rescue Hawk was developed to provide the US Navy with a dedicated combat search and rescue and special warfare support helicopter. Based on the Seahawk airframe, it combined endurance, defensive capability and specialised rescue equipment into a platform designed to operate in hostile environments.

Kitty Hawk Models presents the HH-60H in 1/35 scale with a strong focus on the aircraft’s mission-specific features. The kit includes a detailed cockpit, internal cabin structure and external fittings appropriate to the Rescue Hawk configuration. Surface detail is crisp and restrained, making it suitable for both clean naval finishes and more heavily weathered operational aircraft.

History

The HH-60H entered service in the late 1980s as a replacement for earlier naval rescue helicopters, offering greater range, survivability and mission flexibility. Operated primarily by US Navy squadrons, it was tasked with combat search and rescue, logistics support and special operations assistance, often flying from aircraft carriers and surface combatants.

Armed for self-defence and capable of operating at night and in adverse weather, the Rescue Hawk proved itself during operations in the Balkans, the Middle East and the early stages of the War on Terror. Though eventually replaced by newer variants such as the MH-60S, the HH-60H built a reputation for reliability and effectiveness, standing out as one of the most versatile and mission-focused members of the Seahawk family.
