Stealthman Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Seaking HC4. A decent 1/48 kit (Hasegawa?) of this long serving Junglie would be very welcome , along with a 1/48 Seaking SAR3? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris D Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 I'd like to see the H-43 as a model kit. It is a major part of Naval Aviation history that has been neglected. The "Pedros" flew a lot of rescue missions for the Air Force. I think a TH-57 along with other variants of the Jet Ranger/Long Ranger would be a welcome addition. It's been the training helicopter of Naval Aviation since 1968, and everybody and their uncle flies the Jet Ranger in the civilian world. And maybe a nice new tooled early Huey. All we have now is the ancient hybrid B-/C+ kit from Revell which is really showing its age. The molds themselves are worn out. There are definitely some others I would be interested in as well (AW.109/MH-68, Mi-26!, and Mi-8), but I think these three are the most realistic ones to see kitted up.

jonbryon Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Definitely an AH-1G, but do I have to be the first to say Wasp and Scout? I'd also want a Mil-24 Hind-A. Jon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hawkwrench Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 (edited) Ditto on the TH-57, or for the US Army, it would be the TH-67. I'd love to build a large scale flying creamsicle. Even have a stage field apron for the base. Yeah, that would be cool! Tim Edited November 5, 2016 by hawkwrench Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Postman623 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 SH-60R MH-60S MH-60T And I would like to see some schemes and accurate mods for the civil / .gov / foreign use of the "Hawk" Platform... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dutch Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Okay, so I'm going to drop a turd in the punch bowl and suggest the Sikorsky S-62 / HH-52 Seaguard for pole position. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Loach Driver Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Nothing wrong with the HH-52. It is one of the all-time greats! LD. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The first time I got plucked out of Pensacola Bay by helo (DWEST, Deep Water Survival Training) it was an HH-52. The pilot was so low that the tail wheel was in and out of the water as the waves cam and went... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Yeah, I only say 'turd' because the H-52 does not seem to get the modelling respect it deserves. Everyone has a more modern or sexier airframe they'd like to see kitted. Whirlybirds out of the UK has a 1/72 vacuform kit available in USCG (2) & JASDF markings, but I'd love to see an injection or resin kit in both 1/72 & 1/48. Just my $.02!
