Dave Williams Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Think the Panda kits were the UH-1D and UH-1N. The only early 1/35 UH-1s I remember were the MRC UH-1C kits. Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Good god, what will it take to get someone to do a 35th long-body Huey???? Martinnfb, easixpedro and Supersonic 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Seminar released a 1/35 UH-1B and the kit disappeared for years. It was rather good. However, I'm somewhat doubting this is the same kit as I do not think Trumpeter ever acquired anything from a Korean company. Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sure seems to be panning out that way, good for us . Until recently I haven't built many helos, that is going to change ! lots of good stuff coming our way!

NewtonK Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 I'm hoping with the new kit of a Bravo, someone will release an XM 26 conversion for it! Hay, why not? Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1 Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 From the pics posted elsewhere, surface detail and fit appear to be pretty “rough”. It seems to be an upscaled version of the 48th scale kit KH was developing before they went under. I’m not sure this offers any improvement over the old MRC kit.

Except that it is a B rather than a C and there were some major differences (different rotor, blades with a different chord, etc.). Hopefully we will also get the B/C hybrid version used by the Seawolves. Otherwise, this option will hopefully offer some cross-kitting possibilities.

thierry laurent Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 I just saw pictures of the assembled production kit and the it looks quite nice with fine details, more particularly on a commonly forgotten area: the belly. So I guess you saw a very early production model. Kagemusha and Martinnfb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
