Whiskey Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 I have that 412 conversion, very nice resin. Plan on using it for something other than a Huey though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just because there's a Navy bird on the front doesn't mean there couldn't be a USAF bird as an option? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I just think it would be nice to have the full bird in nicely detailed styrene. There are loads of possibilities for civil helos then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rotorwash Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 The after market should supply any marking shortfalls in the kit as well as a wide array of marking options. All I care about is the kit itself from KH. Ray Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rotorman Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Please for the blind modelers like me....1/35 scale. Oliver Quote Link to post Share on other sites
huey_crew_chief Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 This base model will be sufficient for all American twin packs. Just get a hold of the Cobra Company Marine upgrade and you should be set. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whiskey Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 That’s what I’m curious to see, if this kit will be a base N Huey or the later modernized versions with the FLIR. If it is a base model then who does the upgrade sets for it will be interesting as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tank Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 According to scalemates it appears Italeri might have been a 2017 rerelease of the kit as in the Sprue Brother has the kit and about 5 others international have the kit for sale. This kit has the two Italain, German and Marine rescue bird decals. A more base version then modern day UH-1N. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rotorwash Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 (edited) Italeri did indeed release a rebox of the UH-1N kit a few years back. The ones i have are Italian 212 markings but it's all the same kit. In fact, there are no 1/48 or 1/35 UH-1N kits currently on the market that are not based on the Italeri/Heller kit. Just go to Ebay and put in "1/48 UH-1N" and you'll get a bunch of hits. Some at decent prices. Ray Edited August 26, 2018 by rotorwash Quote Link to post Share on other sites
biggu Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I am SO excited about this, I can't wait, I am working on the 1-D right now converting it to a 205 for Conair Helicopters, and am chomping at the bit for this, I may have to buy multiples of this, I see Northern Mountain Helicopters, Canadian Helicopters, and Wildcat Helicopters at the every least, not to mention many more.......................... any word on when this may possibly hit the shelves?? This along with a NEW 206 from Italeri, my day is made !!! I just hope it is a REAL 206 and not a chopped up hybrid Kiowa........ Jeff Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jabow Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 One of these days, one of these days, SOMEONE will make the much overlooked AH-1G Cobra!!! In 48th scale!! Why in the world didn't Kittyhawk jump, with both feet, into the first COBRA???? What are they thinking?? (Probably because of the parts in common with the UH-1D/H?? Of which there's NOT any!!) The AH-1G Cobra was the first, from design up, attack helicopter!! Used extensively in Vietnam with TONS on marking to put on them!! Kittyhawk Management needs parts of their anatomy thumped, numerous times, for this MISS!! Geesh!! Why not a new UH-1C/M??? It soldiered on for years, as the ultimate Gunship, until finally replaced by the AH-1G!! Get your STUFF together Kittyhawk!!! Don't make me have to come in there!! LOL!! Bo AND, two bladed helicopter models take-up much less room in ur display case than does their 4-bladed counterparts!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If we get all helos in both scales then happy days but unlikely. We may just get random choppers in random scales... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rotorwash Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I wish they would release them all in 1/72! I have a feeling you'll see your 1/48 AH-1G before that happens though! Ray Quote Link to post Share on other sites
