The MH-60K is the dedicated special operations variant of the Sikorsky Black Hawk, developed for the US Army's elite 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment — the "Night Stalkers". Built for long-range covert insertion missions, the SOA (Special Operations Aircraft) is distinguished from a standard UH-60 by its in-flight refuelling probe, external fuel tanks, terrain-following radar nose and FLIR sensor, giving it one of the most purposeful and aggressive profiles of any Blackhawk variant.

This 1/48 scale plastic model kit from Italeri captures that mission-ready look, with the distinctive refuelling probe and external tank fit that set the MH-60K apart. The kit features engraved and raised panel line detail, finely moulded main and tail rotors, and a detailed cockpit with clear glazing parts. At around 320mm long when assembled, it makes an imposing centrepiece in the popular 1/48 helicopter scale, and pairs naturally with modern US aircraft and armour subjects in the same scale.
