Well whatever the equipment may be...the photographer makes the crew a bit nervous..even the co pilot is watching

Hi you guys, Got me a Revell 1:48 Chinese Cook...ehm Chin hook..Eh Chinook! on Evil bay and the clear main part has a crack in it...So i'm looking for any Advice, Help or the very slim chance someone might have a spare for me Thanks for reading and with kind regards Mat

Are you 52 years of age as well?

She is 52 years old man cut her some slack

Great to see how beat up Stressed skin actually can look and how the black color highlights it while Grey and green colors blend that rough look Also her bureau number suggest she is an early production which could explain her beat up look...Also her Sand filters suggest she has spend some time in the dessert (maybe she has seen some War action!?)

👍

Wauw...well i rather hear that from him...than this assumption by...you in any way...Answers could be helpful to Other people in future who bought a kit and have no instructions either

Lets see Huskie...1:72 by croco models and mach 2...1:48 AMP and the old aurora kit...ehm? "I have to think that the large companies don't see helicopters as good tooling investments" And you got your answer right there...Tooling! To me its no surprise that only in the last couple of years Helicopters are getting more and more populair with Manufacturers (just look at the rate Kitty Hawk is producing helicopter kits in the last couple of years) ...The injection molding process has a giant leap forward and the techniques of 3D rendering to design these kits had to catch up first

Maybe thats a license issue between MRC and Academy, It seems that all three models they did in cooperation are no longer being produced (MH-53E , CH-53E and the CH-46E)

And i think that's a question of time...The 1:35 Helicopter range has just been started and the mindset of most Aircraft people is set in 1:32 because manufacturers made that shift between Armor 1:35 and aircraft 1:32 from the start....Then Tamiya began by making 1:48 Armor about 15 years ago and began mixing up a predominately Aircraft scale with Armor and it seems that the helicopter manufacturers have caught on in 1:35...i think in a few years there will be a Cobra in 1:35 give Kitty Hawk some time

Thought we were talking about larger production company's and HpH are custom made models (limited run) and that's hinting Apples and Oranges... HK models (1/32 Lancaster and 1/32 B-17) They are certainly not sold for the huge prices you are stating....they are around 350 Euro's/415 US dollar...And for a 1:32 Lancaster etc that would be a bargain if you just look at the prices Great Wall Hobby are willing to ask for some of their 1:72 kits which are in the 1:48 price range and their kits sell like hot cakes i agree with the opening question in relation to a bigger than 1:72 CH-53E

Ah a clear case of moving the goalpost...first its too big and expensive....now its subject matter! Glad you cleared that up

Okay...Very large and expensive...Well explain a 1:32 Lancaster or 1:32 B-17 then

Which kit did you get...the early one or the last one...Last one did adjust some issues raised in this build

Hi Gozer, Scroll sown and you'll see them on this page of The Modelling News not starting at page 1 but they're all there https://www.themodellingnews.com/2019/05/in-boxed-148th-scale-uh-1n-twin-huey.html
