boxart of US helicopter pilots (Vietnam) displays Huey so maybe that will be the next 1/32 release

in past ICM has released few figure sets which depicts planes not released by them in 1/32, I hope that this is not the case

Not thrilled with those figures, from the pic above, they seem "meh".   Also, one pilot is in a post-war single piece flight suit, the other pilot is in the original two-piece Nomex flight uniform that was replaced by the single-piece.  Bottom line is that if regardless of whether you are doing a Vietnam subject or a later Cold War / Desert Storm subject, you will only be able to use one of those pilots.   I had hoped for some figures in full Vietnam kit with chicken plates, personal weapons, etc.    Maybe Reedoak will come to our rescue?

 

As far as the Huey goes, bring it on!  For a brief time before being replaced by UH-60's, the Huey was my "ride to work".   Loved flying in those things with the doors off, nap-of-earth.  Except at night.  That was simply scary....

1/32 Huey would be great, and why not after an AH-1G... But it's only a few figures showcased here and I'd need more proof to believe it's a Huey for the next chopper release.
