TC8271 Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 Have you tried Sprue Brothers? Squadron Mail Order? Great Models Webstore? Yupp tried all three plus about a dozen other sites and local hobby shops.. Either there really popular and sold out or they didnt make many kits.. No idea either way..

Sabre Freak Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I see them every once in a great while on e-bay. I'd like the get one, but I'm holding out in the hopes they are going to do a real NTS version. I've also read that the AH-1Z has all the parts to do a W Quote Link to post Share on other sites

David Walker Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 That will work. You'll also need to track down a set of the AH-1W instructions so it's clear what parts to use. But yeah, the W kits themselves aren't that easy to find anymore. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LemonJello Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 The -1W and the UH-1N in 1/48 are both on my watch list whenever I go out, but no joy so far. I'm also waiting for the production versions of the -1Z and -1Y to hit the shelves someday... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
