RAN Sikorsky S-70B-2 Seahawk
Below are series of images taken of a Royal Australian Navy Sikorsky S-70B-2 Seahawks of 816 Sqn Seahawks

The RAN received 16 Seahawks in 1990-1991. Since they are nearly finished a major upgrade (SEA 1405) which adds a permanent FLIR/EW/ECM fit. If you want to know more, Google is your friend.

These show a Post Sea 1405 Aircraft. They were taken in 2000 at a open day at HMAS Albatross.
The major differences are external and the large structure on the rear of the cabin.  I'd expect that most of the other differences won't be visible on a 48th scale model, for example instrument panel and console changes .
