Jolouis Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I guess 2019 will not make us 1/72 helo builders spend a lot in new kits... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hajo L. Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I see a rebox of the Fujimi SH-3 Seaking by Italeri - me like a lot! 🙂   HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thegoodsgt Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I wouldn't let yourself get too disappointed. It's not uncommon for manufacturers to announce new releases throughout the year.  Steven Brown Scale Model Soup  Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glynn Jacobs Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Loach Driver Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 (edited) 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. Â LD. Edited February 3, 2019 by Loach Driver Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Loach Driver Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 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.  LD. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RCAFFAN Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 There is detail on the Robinson R44 here: https://www.72news.eu/2019/02/stranskyrobinson-r-44-astroraven.html and the Kamov here: https://www.72news.eu/2019/01/ace-model-instructions-and-markings-for.html Both look pretty good....

Glynn Jacobs Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Wow! Rescue types not my cup of tea but, that I'd one NICE- looking Helo! Will wait for a combat version to purchase one.  Glynn "WARDOG" Jacobs Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ScaleWorx Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 "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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
