Sikorsky UH-60 Main and Tail rotors Scale 1:48 Metallic Details MDR48299

Metallic Details MDR48299 is a 3D-printed main and tail rotor upgrade set for Sikorsky H-60 family helicopter builds in 1/48. The focus is on the hub area and blade-to-hub definition, where sharper geometry helps the rotor assembly look cleaner once painted and lightly weathered.

The set includes both the main rotor (hub) and the tail rotor assembly. This is an upgrade set only (the helicopter model kit is not included).

The H-60 family covers variants such as UH-60, MH-60, and HH-60. Rotor details and installation points can vary between kit brands and specific versions, so treat final fit and small configuration choices as kit- and variant-dependent.

For modelers: dry-fit the rotor hub to the mast early and check clearance against the rotor head fairing and gearbox area. Before glue, set blade spacing using a simple paper circle template (mark 4/5 points as needed) so pitch and symmetry stay consistent. Paint the hub separately from the blades, then assemble to avoid handling marks and to keep blade edges crisp.

FAQ

Is this set limited to one kit brand?

No. It is listed as compatible with ICM, Academy, Italeri (ESCI), and Revell, and can also work with other 1/48 H-60 kits if the rotor mast and mounting geometry match.

How can I keep the blades evenly spaced?

Use a simple alignment guide: draw a circle on paper, mark equal angles, and rest the hub at the center while you set each blade. Re-check symmetry from above before the bond fully sets.

Should I assemble the rotor before painting?

Many builders paint the hub and blades separately, then assemble. This reduces handling marks and helps you keep blade edges and hub detail clean.
