The UH-60 Blackhawk is manufactured by Sikorsky. It was developed as a medium lift utility and assault helicopter developed from the twin-turboshaft engine. The first Blackhawks won the Utility Tactical Transport Aircraft System (UTTAS) award in the early 1970s replacing the UH-1 Iroquois helicopters. So far about 2600 plus Blackhawks have been built. The L model was built in the late 1980s offering more power and lift than the original Blackhawk helicopters.
This authentic, extraordinary replica of the original aircraft has been faithfully reproduced. Each model is meticulously shaped, hand sanded and painted following exact blueprint details of the original aircraft. The result is a handsome, aircraft sculpture to be admired and enjoyed.
