Wojtek Bulhak Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Hello everybody I would like to share Attack Squadron new kit to be released very soon: Northrop-Grumman MQ-8C Fire-X 1/72 scale resin kit. Especially worth attention is 3D printed rotor head with click-fit blades Picture of test castings assembled with PE and rotor head. Some imperfections are visible, but they wil not appear in kit. Drone is prepared for service on missile launcher destroyers DDG. Smaler version MQ-8B we have released both 1/72and 1/48 scale is serving on fregates FFG and Litoral combat ships LCS. Any comments, critics and suggestions are welcome. Here you find more on MQ-8C release click Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rustywelder Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Looks Very nice! Any plans to re-release the MQ-8B at some point? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wojtek Bulhak Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share Posted June 23, 2014 Looks Very nice! Any plans to re-release the MQ-8B at some point? 1/72 scale MQ-8B will be re-released with different decals and configuration next month hopefully. Latest kits of 72010 are available in Hannants at now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skyhawk174 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Hello everybody Smaler version MQ-8B we have released both 1/72and 1/48 scale is serving on fregates FFG and Litoral combat ships LCS. I never knew the MQ-8B was released in 1/48th. I have checked various on line stores including Jadar Hobby Shop and the 1/48th version is not listed but only the 1/72nd. Can you tell me if this is a future release as I am most interested in one in that scale. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Loach Driver Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 (edited) Is there any possibility that this kit might be released in the future with clear glazing? It would be amazing to be able to build a civilian Bell 407, the Armed 407 or even attempt to convert it into the ARH-70A Arapaho. LD. Edit; Or what about a version of this kit that comes with a second plunge-moulded fuselage in clear plastic and the modeller can then graft the clear nose onto the fuselage. The modeller could then modify the Italeri OH-58D interior to fit. Edited June 23, 2014 by Loach Driver Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Our policy is: easy to built perfect fit kit with apropriate level of detail. We are working on Bell 407 kit, but it not goes that easy. Both vacu and resin cast clear parts are not that good solution. Please give us some more time to find out best way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Loach Driver Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Thanks for the feedback, Wojtek. If you do make a Bell 407 version, I will certainly buy one. Thanks. LD. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I too would love to see a 1/32 scale version of a 407 kit! Many are in service in the US as law enforcement and EMS helicopters. David Quote Link to post Share on other sites

David What do you think about 1/35? It would fit well military dioramas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
norbert Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 What do you think about 1/35? It would fit well military dioramas. I prefer 1/35, as it fits military dioramas Norbert Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyArty Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 What do you think about 1/35? It would fit well military dioramas. I second 1/35. I think it is the perfect scale to go along with other ground vehicles and figures out there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wojtek Bulhak Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) Rotor head 1/72 scale MQ-8C (Bell 407 drone) Guess wich one is from Attack Squadron For bigger picture and more info see more Edited July 10, 2014 by Wojtek Bulhak Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GeejeeZ Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Wow it looks awesome Wojtek! I am drooling all over my keyboard. I see what you mean with the combination of resin and vac form in case of clear parts on a civil 407 not being an easy one though. I might have to paint the window areas gloss black or something to simulate windows... Gertjan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hooknladderno1 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 What do you think about 1/35? It would fit well military dioramas. I would love a 1/35 scale 407! I know these things take time. Judging from the photos, I know it will be worth the wait. David Quote Link to post Share on other sites
