Hi Jolouis,

 

The Helo-Love IS very sporadic, especially in 72nd scale but.....  I wouldn't mind seeing a UH-1W with weps and all the ECM gear or a nice SH-2G with different nose and fuselage details to make the New Zealand, Australian, Polish, or Egyptian versions.  Both with decent interiors, of course!

 

Cheers,

 

Glynn "WARDOG" Jacobs

ACE Models are set to release a 1/72 Kamov KA-25 kit this year. I'm looking forward to the SAR version. Stransky are also planning to release an injection moulded Robinson R44.

You know if it will be similar to the Md-500 with a clear canopy/fuselage?

I think the windscreen is one piece while the front and rear door windows on each side are moulded in one piece each each. The fuselage is not moulded in clear plastic. I hope this helps.

Between that and Hajo's link it does. Had just gotten another of his 500d w/floats and that's what made me think of it. Will probably get one of these also. Any ideas on the marking?

Can't get the links to open. Anyone have pricing on these kits? Where can one get them?

Now that is a nice release! No particular fan of the R44, but Stransky's choice of subject imho definitely beats yet another Black Hawk, Cobra, Huey or you name 'em...

Now if the kit would get an upgrade to 1:48, it would be even better!

Unless it be a 1/48 AH-1G Cobra

"thegoodsgt", you're quite right, new releases don't necessarily coincide with the new year. The R44 is something different. The South African Police Services actually uses one with a FLIR turret on the front...lol.

 

I have a couple of 1/72 helicopter resin conversion sets planned for the first half of this year.

I'll announce them as I start with the mods 😉

 

Cheers,

John

PS: I think the Top Gun set with the F-14A AND the A-4F is a nice idea.
