Looks good Dutch! There’s definitely some quirks to the build I wasn’t aware of before, thanks for doing it. Hope the hand feels better 👍 -
1/48 HobbyBoss CH-47D and the Italeri CH-47F Chinooks compared
Hooker169 replied to modelersc's topic in Helicopter Modeling
Thanks for doing this comparison, it’s very helpful and you nailed most of the differences between the two kits. The inaccuracies of each kit in regards to the actual aircraft is an entirely different subject and would need its own thread. But one of my pet peeves is how wrong both kits got the blade droop. In my opinion it’s the biggest visual distraction of all CH-47 kits. Yes, it’s a ‘Hook’, the blades do in fact droop but not how or where depicted in the kits. From the vertical hinge pin to the blade tip the blade in fact only sags roughly 12 1/2 inches. Now, there are obv -
I found some online for you Dutch, I’m having them shipped to your address 👍 That’s such a great livery, I really wish they’d bring it back. I worked those “Mad Dogs” for 21 years till they parked them all last year.

Let me know when you get them👍

Not sure of the actual strut extension in inches but if you drew a line flat across the belly from gear to gear, the top of each tire would be 4 to 5 inches below that line. I know it might be hard to picture so I’ll see if I can find a reference for you. -
In your opinion Jim, does the correction set fix the profile 100%? From that angle it looks pretty darn good to me!

Incredible as always Oliver! Your “quick and dirty” builds are better than my best ever builds! Nice work Jeff, search for Oliver’s Seahawk diorama build thread. Trust me when I say you’ve never seen anything like it before!

I’d be in for a couple FB sets also!

Very nice Phrogs, we’ll done!

The Italeri boxing has these markings listing flat green FS34151 for the tail. I can’t validate that for you however. https://www.italeri.com/en/product/2739

No, I was actually asking if you were going to sell your products to resellers like Squadron.com or kitlinxs.com and others. I’m sure retailers would be interested in your products.

My B-47 sheet arrived today along with several others. First impressions……. Good lord man! What an impressive sheet! The artwork and detail is simply amazing. Kursad, you’re arguably putting out the best products on the market today! Keep up the great work. Thank you!

Gekko, any pictures of the parts layout included in the conversion set outside of the mock-up build on Facebook. How about a suspected retail price for the set? Also, after reviewing your Facebook page, any chance you’ll be offering your products for sale by retailers? Possibly reducing the common problem of customers paying for and not receiving items? Just curious, Thanks in advance

Nice work Gino, keep it up 👍

A gentleman over on LSP said HobbyBoss/Trumpeter purchased the molds but he wouldn’t/couldn’t verify.
