During the summer fire season here (fast approaching now), they base one at our local airport, and it often flies low and directly over our house as it comes in after a day's work. Awesome sight, even more awesome sound! Kev I was extremely impressed with their performance in Greece this year during the very high heat wave conditions they had this summer, so that is why I want one.

Quite right, but its original purpose as a fuel/air (thermobaric) bomb was to lay waste to minefields, as both the blast and the overpressure would cause sympathetic detonation of the mines regardless of how far down they were planted.

I realize it’s a physically large aircraft, but it’s mostly just a cockpit pod and two engines and a transmission. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Honestly for any model of that size I don't find that price that unreasonable. No matter the complexity, any model 31"/77cm long with a 25"/62cm wing/rotor span I would not be surprised to see at $120+ at least. I cant lie, I will have to have one of these regardless of price.

John1 Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 I'm still blown away that they will release what is really just a niche subject while still ignoring a classic that has never be done adequately before - the UH-1D/H Huey.

aircommando130 Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 There was a guy several years back working on making a 32nd scale MH-53J Pave Low helicopter. I took a bunch of pictures of the ones here and sent him copies of the interior from the flight manual and then his company folded and he disappeared. So.....

edfifer Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 3 minutes ago, Jennings Heilig said: I find about 95% of Hannant's prices to be staggering. There is literally almost nothing (including "Xtra" products of theirs) that I can't find cheaper, often **much** cheaper, someplace else. I honestly don't know why anyone trades with them. Are you looking at the "UK prices" that include VAT or the "export prices" that don't? I find their export prices pretty comparable to other sellers in the USA. I don't typically buy kits from Hannants because other retailers closer to me can ship a lot cheaper. But I sometimes buy small items (decals, brass, resin, often not available anywhere close to me), and don't find their export prices and shipping too bad at all.

"Everybody" wants it, but nobody ever builds it. Yup, hopefully both builds will be posted here on LSP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
