Smokeyforgothispassword 111 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Will I be hung, drawn and quartered for saying it’s in the wrong scale, it should be 1/35 ? Nah, I can see this being a very popular release even if it’s 1/32, I’ve read so many posts wanting a G model that if even 10% of those who said they wanted it buy one, ICM will be very happy with their ROI.

Thomas Lund 1,864 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 (edited) I have few helicopters I'd like to do, but a Vietnam war AH-1G is on the top of that list.... I am a very happy man now With what they've given us these years (and in good quality), ICM is rapidly becoming a very beloved company 'round my house.

John1 4,029 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 It’s funny - I have no issues with helos being in 32nd, probably cause all my other aircraft are in the same scale. But when it comes to non-rotary wing models in 35th, that’s an absolute no-go line in the sand. Link to post Share on other sites
Smokeyforgothispassword 111 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I’m not a scaleist, some of my best friends are 1/35th scale, I’m all about the subject matter, and ICM are really putting a dent in my wish list. Now that they’re doing the Vietnam era, I wonder if it would be too much to ask for a 1/32 tweet to go with the Cobra? Troy Molitor, Uncarina and Royboy 3 Link to post Share on other sites

I’m not judging! Regarding a T-37, that’s a fine idea (once they put out a UH-1H Huey of course). Smokeyforgothispassword, Anthony in NZ and LSP_K2 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
petrov27 2,017 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 This is a very welcome release. I would not mind a new 1/32 Loach to go along side it please Smokeyforgothispassword, D Bellis, KiwiZac and 1 other 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites

They don’t model in 1/35th scale, they are 1/35th scale I’m really looking forward to this G model Cobra, God only knows how many 1/72 Matchbox ones I build in the 70’s, all of them with my gluey thumb print on the canopy! If the do branch out into UH-1’s, I’d love to see them do a B model, a RAN version would look great on the mantle piece RAN UH-1B LSP_K2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Take it with a grain of salt, they announced the D/H years ago and we are still waiting. Even if they do, it will probably have typical KH issues but it’s better than nothing.

Smokeyforgothispassword 111 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Thanks John, I hadn’t heard about that, I’ll keep an eye on the KH new releases Link to post Share on other sites

Somewhere in the deep recesses of my mind lurks the dread that they'll blow the whole deal by producing it in 1/35 scale instead of 1/32. If they do, I'll buy only one kit (preferably at a deep discount) just for the satisfaction of burning it one piece at a time. D I won't, not in the abomination that is 1:35th scale!!! No pasaran!!! thierry laurent and Rick Griewski 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Confusionreigns178 229 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 (edited) Could the lovely citizens of Aftermarket Land please produce a decal set including "Squatter Swatter" and a second one with a REALLY big shark-mouth? Pretty please, with Sprinkles on... Chris. Edited February 9 by Confusionreigns178 Amending some information. Link to post Share on other sites

It was originally made by Tristar, a short lived company that previously had made only 1/35 armor kits. HB bought the Tristar molds.
