Gerhard Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 That would be something. How about a Puma in 1/32? Almost every helicopter has been released in some scale or another, but i'm still in big time, for a Alouette III in 32nd scale. What is your idea on this one? jack.

Magic Mike Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 UH-1Y, AH-1G and F and P and Z models. A new Nam era OH6A with the late war heat shield mods (same with the G model) and for goodness sakes a decent Jet Ranger, both military and civilian, and even a long bodied version such as the 206L and the 407. Kitty hawk had a new Huey coming out in 1/35 but for some reason decided to release it in 1/48 first. MM David66 and Troy Molitor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Mike Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 You know, come to think of it, in reference to my post...Kitty Hawk has released a nice Y model Huey and a nice Z model both in 1/48, just scale 'em up! MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Boillot Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 That's not a Helli Ernst? No. Technically, it's an airplane with a rotary wing. Hubert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Molitor Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 I've been on Vietnam era Quest of late. Just picked up Aeoscouts in Vietnam combat chronicals. Those old Revell helicopters classics are calling for some up grades. I don't know why, i just can't get into 1:35 scale for some reason. I know, I know... I flew the UH-1H in flight school in 89, I flew the Cobra (modernized) and the OH-58 in the Missouri National Guard, but I have a real interest in the OH-6 Loach for some strange reason. An OH-58 would also be cool to see come to life. Troy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b757captain Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 I actually saw one of those years ago sitting in the weeds at the Wilmington, DE airport. Had no idea what it was, and back then there was no internet or google to find out. Took me years to finally figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziggyfoos Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 As much as I love helos, in 32/35 I'd probably pass on vast majority simply because of their physical size except for types with dual or folded blades. The H-60 kits are pretty much already too big because of their rotor diameter, the 1/35 Hind and Chinook - no way. Even with folding option, an H-53 in large scale would still be too huge. I can't imagine we'll see too many large scale helos for that reason and how comparatively little interest is in helos overall. I figure it would have to be pretty limited to the "big" helo types (like the H-1s). I think the AH-1/UH-1 line must be the quintessential helo regardless of country? Or close to it. I'd buy a modern large scale AH-1G easy, probably more than one. After that I'll continue to dream of seeing a Korean War HO3S-1 which is small enough to still be done in large scale: David66 and Winnie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe66 Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 .....And for the OH-6, something really nice in 1/15 (120mm) would be awesome ! Joe David66 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, a Tamiya quality Bell Model 47 would be amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Clunkmeister Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 That's not a Helli Ernst? Ron, no, but pretty darn close, and it's one of the Golden Age's sexiest airmobiles. Raquel Welch with rotors, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
