Slater Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 What would be involved in converting this kit into a current Saudi AH-6i? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyArty Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 It looks like a differently shaped nose bubble and a cowling on it. It also looks closer to an AH-6M with the six blade main rotor and four blade tail rotor. It looks to have the thicker vertical tail of the M too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Loach Driver Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 (edited) Yes, you'll need to do all the changes that HA has listed as well as taller skid legs and slightly lengthened skid tubes. And there is all the anntenae and other lumps and bumps that will need to be scratch-built. The new nose glazing will be the biggest challenge. The later AH-6M kit promised from Kitty Hawk will be a better starting point for an AH-6i. I think the Saudi version is called the AH-6SA but it might not be all that different from the standard-production AH-6i. LD.

HeavyArty Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 (edited) If you want to give it a try, the Black Ops Models AH-6M Conversion and the Kitty Hawk (or Dragon) kit would be good starting points.
