JohnEB Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 (edited) Someone, somewhere is listening... Here's a Hiller UH-12 I saw on Scalemates https://www.scalemates.com/kits/lf-models-uh-12a-raven--1461595 Note it's the early version with the sloped, not bubble, canopy and wheels, not skids. Still, if I remember my variant history correctly, it could make several early military ships, USN, RN and French in Indochina.

MattP Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 I know I'm in the very small minority. But in 1/144 I'd LOVE to see a CH-53E, a KA-52, either MH-/AH-6M (not 3-d printed), UH-1N, AH-1W/Z (NOT resin/3-d printed or Graphone) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fasteagle12 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Maybe it's already been mentioned, but another one I'd like to see would be the AH-54A Cheyenne. The only options that I know of are the Atlantis (a re-pop of the old Aurora kit) and Anigrand (Resin) kits in 1/72. I think either an accurate 1/72 or 1/48 kit would be a seller. I know I'd be interested in it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I believe a large scale (1/48) AW-101 is available as well as a large scale Chinook, S-55, 412 etc Hi hemspilot! To my knowledge no AW-101 Sar Queen ( heavily modified RNoAF version) and 412 is available in 1/48. For the H-19 (I stated S-55) we onlp have the old outdated Revell kit. But I understand that there is something going on with AMP? The UH-1B has the Fujimi kit and Aurora kit, both made back in the sixties. Surely there must be a few modellers wanting this variant? Check six and build something! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Check six and build something! The 101 is available as the British Mk5, how is the SAR Queen heavily modified from the modelers’ perspective more than say an Italian Navy tactical one or an Italian Air Farce HH-101? Buy small appendages in resin or 3D printed, or do it yourself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WouldbeIceman Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Sorry to say HEMS pilot the difference between a AW101 SAR Queen and a HH-101 will take quite some space to list up. Foremost is the double rescue hoists, and a 360 radar system with antennas (as mesh) all around the helicopter. Modifications to the tail-rotor system++++++ No 3D printer for me - after all is just a wish list😆 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Drifterdon Posted February 16, 2023 Author Share Posted February 16, 2023 I sure do wish that some of the manufacturers of helo kits are following along or seeing some of these posts. With the development of a 1/35 CH-54 and new OH-6's in 1/48 and 1/32, I'm cautiosly optimistic. Come on 1/48 HH-3. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hugh mills Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 How about HH-53B/C in ARRS marking from VietNam? 1/35 HH-43 Husky? I have a 1/72 OH-23D but heck I can’t see it! How about the 1/48 or 1/35. I learned to fly in a 23. Great basic helo. Not a bad scout either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AMP already does the HH-43 in 1/48. Thinking it wouldn't take much engineering wise to scale up to 1/35. The Hawk/Testors 1/32 HH-43 kit is pretty long in the tooth and basic in construction.

andyf117 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 As I've said before elsewhere, I'm baffled as to why Italeri have never added a HH-3 to their helicopter range... ....it was used by the Italian military, so would appeal to their home market, and there are re-box/re-issue possibilities... ....the two obvious releases would be an HH-3F with Italian SAR and USCG markings - the latter adding to their other USCG subjects... ....and a Vietnam-era HH-3E with a Gulf War MH-3E as a decal option - again, adding to similar subjects, eg., their HH-53C and MH-53J kits...

Dutch Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 (edited) What Andy said! We've been hanging out in this styrene jungle or bobbing around on the styrene sea way too long without a Jolly Green or Pelican to rescue us. Maybe ClearProp or AMP will come to the rescue soon!

Whiskey Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 (edited) A few for thought: 1) a new tooled 1/48 AH-1F (to include later Israeli Tzefa upgrades with markings for Turkey, Jordan, and Philippines) 2) a newly tooled 1/48 OH-58D Kiowa Warrior that is more detailed than the sparse and scarce Italeri. 3) a newly tooled 1/48 AH-1T ( this needs to have markings for both Cobras with HMM-261 that were shot down during Operation Urgent Fury) 4) a newly tooled 1/48 AH-1J (with Iranian markings included) 5) 1/48 AH-1J Iranian Toufan-2 (this is their upgraded J with flat-plate canopy and avionics) 6) more detailed 1/48 UH-1H that represents US Army aircraft such as the ones used by B Troop 4/228 in El Salvador with the ALQ-144, WSP, ASE, etc. Edited January 31 by Whiskey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
