KH 1/35 Huey D/H Announced

[Darren Howie]

Hopefully we will see some 32nd decals for "Buster Gonad and his unfeasibly large testicles" one of the greatest nose art schemes of all times.

Can see two Jags in my future Norwegian scheme and desert pink Buster.

Great work KH!

I have no 1/32 WWII period aircraft in the 2016/17 pipeline at this time. later I have a few "40's" planes in the future.

thanx guys. we will do our best.

 

Can you get us some updated CAD shots of the Huey?   Really looking forward to this release.  Thanks for taking a chance on an "uncool" subject and getting great guys like Floyd and Ray on your research team. 

 

Holy thread hijack BTW....

Did something change?  On Kittyhawk's home page, the UH-1 has been changed to 1/48 scale.

Two scales or a change of plan? ............... my heart sinks (though not as much as when the Grumman F11F was cancelled).

1/48 oh no.....no good for anyone

A follow up on this over at ARC:

"hi all: this is the latest information.

we will do a large line of 1/48 U S  helicopters.

but i promise a line of 1/35 Huey's & Cobra's in the not to distant future.

Glen

 

and

 

when we drafted Floyd the intention was several 1/35 helo's. we are a very small company. we are hoping that some of the 1/48 kits we have coming will help pay for the larger molds of 1/35 & 1/32 scale aircraft i want to do.

so please bare with us.

Glen"

 

 

 

 

Fiduciary caution; fair enough and we can still look forward to LSP Helos.

Nice of Kittyhawk to change its spots and announce that the 1/35 Huey is now  going to be 1/48, they should stay with what they announced on their Facebook page originally, and now they tell us they will follow up with the 1/35 later on.

Seems they just come up with what they want and keep us modellers happy

Good to hear, I totally agree with the funding, looking forward to the Jag, send my regards to Song, Glen.

 

Don't shot the messengers, they have looked at the sales potential and have realised tat the 1/48 will generate the incomes required to hopefully fund the 1/35, it amazes me when people moan because at the end of the day, they have to produce a profit to survive and fund other projects, and without them some of the stuff overlooked by the bigger players would never ever arrive to market, just be thankful they have the vision to produce these models that without their input we would likely never see.

Yes. But a simple bit of communication would have cost KH very little, whilst maintaining customer expectations. As it is, they've treated the customer with complete contempt.
