Definitely be up for this release.

I wouldn’t go by the Sprue Brothers price. Squadron has the Trumpeter kit for less than $80. I have both kits, and the Academy kit is the better of the two.

I think part of the problem is that ICM released their Cobra in 1/32 first, so all of the new aftermarket was made in that scale. The 1/35 version seems like an afterthought and isn’t getting the same level of support.

Really? SB seems to sell a lot of Trumpeter and Hobbyboss stuff, and I’d be very surprised if any of it was licensed.

The Minibase kit that doesn’t exist?

I guess they weren’t lying.

Arrived today

Given that the A-10 is over $100, I’m betting it will be at least that. Likely more with tariffs and inflation.

I have some of the MCC seats for the F-4 and F-35. They’re nice and very detailed.

You’ll also have to use the 5 blade tail rotor and delete the radome on top of the rear fuselage. Also, look at the sponsons. SH-3Hs had extended sponsons with a MAD bird on one side and sonobuoy tubes in the other. The Airfix kit only has the standard short sponsons. There’s probably more.

Mine too. eBay?

They might. Why not just come out and tell us what parts from the Hasegawa kit you want to use on the Kinetic kit?

Where do you see Squadron taking preorders for the Academy UH-1Y? I only see the Trumpeter kit.

That’s just an access hatch. It’s bolted closed, not movable.

TBH, I hadn’t even noticed that the standoffs were missing.
