Did anyone evermake a CH-46 in the One True Scale?

How close is it to a CH-47?

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.

Interesting point Mike? 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!).
