As far as raised versus recessed I'm not sure. We'll see. Floyd Maybe a little later. Slightly shifted a couple of weeks but this month. Floyd Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Loach Driver Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 It has been reported on Facebook that this kit has been released and is available, at least in Hong Kong. Won't be long now, apparently. LD. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyArty Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Apparently it is now a combo kit that allows either version to be built as well. Image from Hobby Search Japan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hawkwrench Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 (edited) Oh yeah, some 1/35 160th SOAR aircrew in Somalia gear would be awesome. Both little birds and hawks pilots and crew chiefs. I'll be buying this kit for sure! Tim Edited October 19, 2017 by hawkwrench Quote Link to post Share on other sites
salvador001 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Damn, cant wait to see how this model comes. Hopefully will be better than the Dragon one. Rod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

otis252 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) So can the kitbe built as an AH or a MH? Thanks. Chuck Edited October 23, 2017 by otis252 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
11bee Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) Still went with the inverted dimples instead of correct raised rivets. Ugh... Waiting for the comments about how it actually looks quite nice, is appropriate for the scale, not noticeable, etc. etc. Don't see this with any other manufacturer, everyone else these days seems able to replicate minute surface detail accurately, especially in the larger scales. Just a sneak preview of what their 35th Huey will have to offer if / whenever it arrives, I suppose. I'd love to hear from KH about their rational for this. Was it just a design error due to lack of attention, did it save them some money on the tooling (I'd think just the opposite), or do they think it actually looks better?

salvador001 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Looks awesome, cant wait to see the sprue shots in detail. BTW, the skid tubes are a little bit thick, they look like the modern ones that the M model uses, ill have to use the Dragon skids to make the little bird from gothic serpet era. Rod.

11bee Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Does the FRIES rig on the MH look a little skimpy? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pllleeeaaasse no inverted rivets on the 1/35 Huey.... Not sure why as even on the KH 1/48 Huey there are some seriously small and impressive raised rivets on the centre radio IP between the pilots so not sure why they go with the recessed rivets where it counts on the airframes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CharlieUH-1H Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Great!! Like Rod said I’ll use the dragon Skid on this one.. I like the Dragon skids but just that.. can’t wait to afford this KH bird and do a Moe Betta Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Loach Driver Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 It is interesting that the intake scoop for the Gulf War 1/Op Gothic Serpent IR exhaust system is included. All we have to do now is scratch-build the exhaust pipe set-up. The canopy-to-fuselage join looks good too! LD. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
otis252 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I've got some questions about Little Birds and what can be built from this kit. What are the differences between the AH-6J, the MH-6J and the MH-6M versions? Does anyone know which versions can be built from this kit. Many thanks. Chuck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
