kg4kpg Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I grabbed one of these I found, it is kit# 7206. The box label says this is 1/48 but it just looks too big for that scale. Scale is not referenced on the instructions at all but it does have the dimensions saying the real aircraft fuselage is 25'2", that comes out to about 6.25 inches which is what I measured plus or minus a little. It just seems bigger than I though it should be. Any info on this kit? Is it 1/48 or close to it? Thanks, Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chief Snake Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 It's a 1/32nd scale kit. Chris M Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kg4kpg Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 Okay, figured it was around there somewhere. Off to the for sale forum to see if I can make my money back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shark 64 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Hi Before you sell it, take a look a Cobra resin interior for that helo....It worth the extra money. A different build it is. With some work it can be turned into a show piece. Oliver Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MikeC Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I've been "bitten" by that too - I would really like a 1:48 Huskie, and when I saw what I thought was exactly that at a model show last year I bought it. Back to the IPMS Avon stand for a look in the box and a fondle of the plastic, and I thought it looked a bit big. My colleague who works in 1:32 confirmed it was just that. Fortunately the trader was happy to refund my hard-earned (I only do 1:48). However, out of that I learned a quick tip - if in doubt and particularly if you don't know the type a look at the seats usually points you towards the correct scale.

majortomski Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 My dad built the Hawk version of the kit back in the late 60's when it came with a battery box, switch and electric motor. It was neet to see those intermeshing blades going around. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marv Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 This is the old Testors (ex-Hawk) HH-43, that I picked-up at a club meeting. It had been started, so I accepted the challenge and finished it. I built the interior, but would buy the aftermarket set, if I was going to do one of these again: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shark 64 Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Very nice. Such an odd helo. With love and patience, the use of aftermarket parts and numerous rivets to duplicate it can be turned into a amazing build. Your model is flawless. Oliver Quote Link to post Share on other sites
