Rick Griewski Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 (edited) Another model in the “interesting” scale. This will be an impressive model on the display shelf. A detail person’s heaven. The kit will be all about the quality and fit of the clear parts. I know at least one man that spent combat time in one. I may pick one up. The kit would be a whole new adventure in model building for me. https://www.themodellingnews.com/2020/07/preview-four-polar-opposite-kits-from.html?m=1 Edited July 27, 2020 by Rick Griewski Added link Derek B and allthumbs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaldEagle Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Is it me or is that instrument panel a bit lame for something in this scale? Will there be any after-market stuff I wonder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrish Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I don’t think it’s just the instrument panel... Rick Griewski and Royboy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of 'scratching' on this one but I might have a go if the budget can go to it! Derek B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David G Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 these are the ex-21st Century Toys prebuilts/prepainted that were sold in Wal-Mart and Toys r Us about 15 years ago. For about $30-40 for a huge prebuilt model. These are mostly screwed together. No they are not Tamiya quality and are not superdetailed and were not made to be, they were "made to a price point" set by Wal-Mart and other retailers, they were somewhat simplistic in details but most of the later ones like the 262 and Fw190 had good overall proportions. These are a good basis for superdetailing if you so choose, or just bang them together for one heck of a large display. I have the prebuilt Huey and it is a huge beast. There are several modellers on here who have taken the prebuilts and redone them to high detail, check the build section. 21st went belly-up years ago so some Chinese firm such as HobbyBoss has repopped the parts to sell as a kit. Just like the 262 and the Fw190 and the SBD and the Harrier. Rick Griewski and Out2gtcha 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Wow, that Huey actually doesnt look that bad for what it is...................but its over 33" long! Troy Molitor and David G 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Griewski Posted July 27, 2020 Author Share Posted July 27, 2020 33 inches long! That is a lot of chopper to bring home from Walmart. That would take over my room when I was a kid. Troy Molitor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Molitor Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 40 Mike-Mike chunker up front with the Ride of the Valkyries ringing in my head. This would be hours of fun to work on this 33 inch beast. I loved flying this bird in the Guard and the AH-1’s. The OH-58’s were also a lot of fun to buzz around in.

Neo Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 (edited) Oh boy i wand Oliver the chopper master to tacle this!! Tbh i would love a good 1/35 huey was disappointed when KH decided to release theirs in 1/48 But if there was a tin of AM i would build one. Im not a really good scratch builder Edited July 27, 2020 by Neo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easixpedro Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Dang, I’d be tempted to do a HAL-3 bird. Couldn’t be any worse than that archaic 1/48 Monogram kit I just finished in the non-lsp section... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
