Newtonk Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Given it was deployed with considerable success in Vietnam, and there are now good kits out there of the Bravo, and there is one helicopter still fitted with this system... why no kit or conversion for this? Or did I miss the memo? Thank you, rant done. For now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyArty Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 (edited) I have never seen an XM26 TOW setup in any scale. What good kits of the B in 1/35 are you talking about? The only one I know of is the Sar/Seminar UH-1B kit from the '90s. It is about on par with the MRC/Academy UH-1C kit. Cobra Company made a UH-1B backdate set for the MRC/Academy UH-1C, unfortunately, CC went out of business. The set included the wider cord rotors and new rotor head with weights, new tail, narrower elevators, B model IP, FM homing antennas for the nose, and non-armored seats. Lone Star Models (http://www.lonestarmodels.com/store) bought their masters though and is offering some of their sets. The UH-1B backdate set is currently available.

Newtonk Posted October 21, 2021 Author Share Posted October 21, 2021 Yeah, sorry, I was thinking of the MRC kit. Which is a Charlie, which is like a Bravo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jstar Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Except for the fin, and the rotor, and the fuel filler, and the horizontal stabs...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
