HeavyArty Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Do you have a pic of the box? My guess is that it is the MRC/Academy kit w/new decals. Italeri already reboxed the MRC/Academy kit a few years ago as their UH-1C "Mekong Raider". Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RCAFFAN Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 (edited) I always keep my rotors separate for transport and I note that the kit on the box photo is right so I suspect whoever set up the booth probably didn't know any better. Note the upper surface white stripes on the blades are now on bottom too.... Edited February 2, 2018 by RCAFFAN Quote Link to post Share on other sites
UH-1Mad Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Best Huey on the market, just need that 1/35 D/H to accompany it... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CharlieUH-1H Posted February 2, 2018 Author Share Posted February 2, 2018 The one on the box is missing two bars also Quote Link to post Share on other sites
UH-1Mad Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 (edited) This is good as they were starting to become scarce, have a couple left in the stash but can never have too many of these brilliant kits.. Eduard has some seriously awesome photo-etch for these kits, hopefully now they will update them with some pre-painted instrument panels Edited February 3, 2018 by UH-1Mad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
K5054NZ Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I guess I'll hold on to the Italeri boxing my friend gave me, rather than sell it, if the kit's held in such high regard by you guys! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyArty Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 14 hours ago, CharlieUH-1H said: The one on the box is missing two bars also That is because the original MRC instructions does not show to add the two control rods; they are in the kit though. Italeri and supposedly now Revell did not correct the directions and it still doesn't show them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chief Snake Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 The original MRC/ Academy instructions also show the seat armor sliding panels installed up-side down. May also be a carry over to the new release. Chris M Quote Link to post Share on other sites
