Newtonk Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 As seen on the internet, here is the kit number: HobbyBoss UH-1B Iroquois 18 81806 Jun-20 Now, this raises a few questions for me, not least of which is why /18 & not /16? Will this be a slick Bravo, or gunship? Will there be other versions or helicopters later on... and, if this can be done, and be a good seller, then surely a 1/35 MH 53K is equally viable.

JohnEB Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I had the old 1/24th Monogram Huey when it first was released, it was huge...this will be unbelievable. With the amount of detail that will be visible, you'll need to be a better modeller than I am. I guess you could use the 1/18 diecast cars (I think someone did a WWII Jeep, yes, wrong period but as close as we'll get to a M151 or M38A1...likewise, a HMMWV would be too new) for a diorama.

Newtonk Posted May 5, 2020 Author Share Posted May 5, 2020 Mmm this may not be as exciting as it first reads, but rather a reboxing of a 21st century toy. Bother. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
