NOTES:

resin 

Werner's Wings latest resin conversion set is to provide builders with the ability to take the current MRC/Academy 1/35 Blackhawk helicopter and convert it into a medivac bird. This set includes all the bits you'll need to do the conversion and make your next big Blackhawk a real show-stopper as the medivac interior is quite different from the standard troop hauler.

The resin parts are superbly cast and without any molding glitches. They include a new bulkhead plus the carousel and four litters. These can be modeled either folded up or flat and ready to accept patients. Other items like a defibrillator, back board, first aid kit, neck stabilizer and fire blanket can be positioned where needed. 

A complete set of instructions is provided that tell not only what has to be cut and/or replaced, but also what military equipment you will need to leave off. The kit comes complete with build photos and photos of the actual installation in the real helo. Soon to come will be a decal sheet with several options for this set, so stay tuned.
