phantom Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Interesting, but I think the fuel tanks might still be too small for a Canadian CH-147F. Dang good start mind you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Roof Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 The AH-1Z doesn't look promising. No where does it say that it is a new tool, or updated tool. That could indicate that is simply their previously released AH-1Z which was nothing more than the AH-1W kit with a new sprue of 'Z' parts, none of which were accurate for a production Zulu.

GeejeeZ Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 (edited) Guess all Italeri releases for 2018 are rereleases of their own or other manufacturers' kits. But hey: some new releases anyway. From what I see from the big model kit manufacturers until now, 2018 doesn't look too promising for us helicopter modellers... Anyway, eagerly awaiting the Italeri 1:48 AB206, which is a rebox of the venerable Esci- kit. Edited February 6, 2018 by GeejeeZ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would not doubt that Italeri is going to re-release their previous version of that kit, however if they do they are going to be looking at a lot of trouble as the picture provided in that preview is a production Zulu.

It seems they have all the original sprues and included 2 new sprues with F parts. The kit seems to contain everything needed to build a C, D or F and also all the coresponding British models.

Hooker169 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 (edited) I’m not real familiar with the F model or it’s ASE, I’m a D model guy but here are some pics of what’s in the kit. Version B is for the F model and versions A and C are for the British and JDF respectively. Also, parts F-11, 25 and 26 are the new -714 exhausts.

Hooker169 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 (edited) The same issues which plagued the 1/72 kit continue with this upscaled boxing. From missing air vents on the forward pylon to the incorrect vented hydraulic compartments (C model only) on either side of the aft pylon. To missing EAPS rails and the super overdone panel lines aft pylon work platforms. I’m by no means a rivet counter but all those items add up in the end so I’ll have to fix those. Oh, and the instructions color call-outs for the interior are completely fictitious for a D or F model so check your references or with someone on here. Having said that, it’s still a really nice kit and should build up into a good looking ‘Hook’. This one might get started pretty soon!

I just picked up a set for a Canadian D in Afghanistan and they look pretty good though pretty small, especially for the 6 inch square box they came in........
