LSP_Mike Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Did anyone evermake a CH-46 in the One True Scale? How close is it to a CH-47? Derek B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eoyguy Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 (edited) Not that I am aware of. Other than being tandem rotor and general shape, not that close. The 46 is about 3/4 the size of a 47, just for starters.

My fellow Marines and I called the Ch-46 the "Sea Magnet"... Since it seems to have crashed into the ocean far too often. Made really to carry a squad of Marines. The Ch-47 is a heavy lift vehicle capable of of lifting an 8-ton howitzer quite easily. The Army had those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the early-80's, I managed to drastically modify an Airfix 1/72 CH-46 VERTOL Sea Knight (used as the basis for a scratch build) into a CH-47 Chinook, which ended up about 1/87 scale as a result. Therefore, I think that in the reverse-engineering sense, it may be possible (in theory) to convert the Trumpeter 1/35 CH-47 into a CH-46 and still have it come out at the correct 1/32 scale? (plenty of work still required though!). Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Mike Posted October 7, 2021 Author Share Posted October 7, 2021 Thanks for all the responses guys. I' d like to see one at some point. The main thing to me is the engine housing shapes, and the cockpit. Might be intrresting to overlay some drawings. Surprised no vac exists.
