I`m afraid not. Corgi got as far as doing a Blackhawk and then took the mould no further which a lot of us Diecast nutters are a bit `miffed` about. (it could be in the works so to speak, but who knows how long that could be. I`ll contact one of the `special 7` and see if it`s been dicussed at Corgi recently)

All I can recommend for now is that you contact some Diecast outlets and see if they know someone who can `code 3` the current diecast Blackhawk model.

Be warned though, it may cost you a pretty penny.

Dont really know too much about diecast mate, but I'm suprised there are hardly any Pavehawk's out there, would've thought Corgi would've made a 1/48th or at least a 1/72nd version

Hi Pikey,

Got this response this morning from a forum member on DAF who has a bit more insight than me on the question you asked.

`The Pavehawk and every other version of the H-60 especially the MH-60L/K have been discussed several times but the severe lack of sales /interest in the previous and previously announced models have always put them on the back burner. Corgi US had the option to go with a USAF or Army variant this year but they decided to go with the Oceanhawk which in my opinion was a good one as a US Navy one has not been done before. If this sells OK I think the H-60 casting will be getting a bit more use`.

So you never know, a Pavehawk may well be on the cards in the future with a bit of luck.

(Many thanks also to said member from DAF for the info)
