Out2gtcha Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Nothing like keeping the right attitude - I believe it's all new tooling from what Glen has said ScoobyDoo and PhilB 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I agree that their reputation has tarnished them for sure. And yes, I agree they have also made a lot of bad kits in the past. I have been burnt in the past by manufacturers like HpH, so I can see how someone regardless of how nice a kit seems would be hesitant to repeat that experience.

Mark P Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I for one am excited at the prospect of a large scale Huey. However, I will wait and let the box contents speak for themselves and weigh its pros and cons like I do with every purchase.

They haven’t released this kit before so any 35th Huey from KH would be new tooling. What does that tell us regarding whether it will inherit the flaws of their 48th effort? No “right attitude” here, just basing my opinion on previous KH products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 New tooling as in not a copy of their smaller scale effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the record, if they can just fix the surface details (divots and overscale features on the exterior), I'll be beyond pleased. The 48th kit has multiple other issues but all can be addressed. Given that the surface issues were brought up ever since the 48th Huey was released and then KH did the same thing on their new Blackhawk kit, I'm not overly optimistic but we'll see how things work out.

That alone should be sufficient for him to finally see the light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I think I read on another site that these CAD's were of the older 48th scale kit. Supposedly new ones will be released at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
