CharlieUH-1H Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Spotted this is it legitimately from KH? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
11bee Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Wire strike kits on Vietnam era Huey's? Hmmmm... I know it's no reflection on the model itself, just poor attention to detail on behalf of KH. Thought the original release was Vietnam birds, followed by "International" ones? Looks like the combined them both. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hawkwrench Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Aaaah! I wouldn't worry about the little detail mixups. If it wasn't for Floyd and Ray, this Huey would be full of errors. Modeling companies are made up of people and people make mistakes. Don't sweat the wire strike cutter John. Its not a biggie in my book. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CharlieUH-1H Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 believe me wire strike is just a simple thing! :) if this photo is really from KH I am more than happy with that! I think is way better if they really combined them both :) I am confident that this will be the best Huey we have ever see.. since the dragon is a disaster... the revell nose is awful , the italeri one come with 212 parts etc cant wait for it to do the 348TH MED DET. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
11bee Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I get that, just a random observation on KH's attention to the little things. I know the history of this kit, given who was behind it, I have high expectations. It bears remembering however that both guys have stated that all they could do was make suggestions. It was on KH to implement them. All the more reason why I really want to see pics of the plastic and not just months old CAD shots. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

salvador001 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Great looking schemes, but as you all said, hope its only the artwork mishap, vietnam era hueys didnt have the wire strike kit, neither the apr-39 mounts, and the art shows only the upper wire strike LOL... We want to see the plastic, that little things can be fixed. Cant wait to see it. Rod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rotorwash Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Don't get me started on that freaking artwork! Suffice it to say, it wasn't run by Floyd and I before the pics were released. Ray Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CharlieUH-1H Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 lets wait until KH sir itself tell us if this is legitimately from KH or Not... I just spoted on Google while browsing.. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
salvador001 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 The artwork is true, it was posted on the kitty hawk facebook page yesterday. Rod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rotorwash Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Yes, it is definitely from Kitty Hawk. No reason for us to try and pretend otherwise. Ray Quote Link to post Share on other sites

salvador001 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Wish someone could release the ASE (APR-39s, toilet bowl, heat shields, etc).... Hope Fireball ASE can fit this model, i still have one set in my stock. Oh, and wish someone could release a good decal sheet of modern army hueys and why not a foreign sheet with El Salvador included, hell yeah! Rod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gatorbait51 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Well, yeah, still disappointed it's in 1/48th instead of 1/35th but I understand the reasoning behind it . Sooooooooooo looks like a 1/48th Huey WILL be in my future despite my earlier fit of pique elsewhere . If these sell, the 1/35th should follow so a win all around .
