1:72 Sea King, Fujimi vs. Revell

Hello and a merry christmas to all!

I just bought the 1:72 Whirly Birds S61N conversion kit. It looks absolutely great and I can't wait to start the build.
Funny detail though: the conversion is based on Revell's Sea King kit, which appears to be out of production and I have not been able to find any more here in this region of the Netherlands.
Before I start looking all over the world to get me a Revell Sea King from somewhere else, I would like to know if anyone knows if there are differences between the Revell 1:72 Sea King and the Sea King as made by Fujimi. This because I can still get my hands on a Fujimi kit, and it would be great ofcourse if Revell and Fujimi share the same moulds...

Thank you in advance!

1:32 EC145

Hello to all!
Just bought the 1:32 Revell EC145. I plan on building it into the ADAC EMS version and have a question on the "inner EMS cabin". I remember this type of cabin was also in the 1:72 EC135, and I have never been able to fit the darned thing inside the fuselage in that kit. I always ended up building the EMS interior without the extra cabin
Does anyone have experience on the 1:32 EC145? How is the fit of the EMS-cabin?

Thank you in advance, best regards!

Black Hawk Question

Hello to all,
I am in the process of building a 1:48 Blackhawk (UH60A or -L) and am about to build the seats. I was wondering:
- are the troop seats always installed or does the UH60A sometimes fly troops with no or fewer seats installed, just like the Huey sometimes does?
- are the Crew chief/ gunners'seats always installed in the -A or -L?

Thanks in advance!

USAF UH1N

Hello to all!

Just bought the 1:48 Heller (former Italeri) UH1N gunship. I planned to do a modern USAF version but while doing some research on that, it struck me that the net is plastered with info with info and pics of USMC UH1N's but I can find very little info on the USAF special operations 1N's.

So here's some questions:
- is the UH1N in combat use (f.i. CSAR) or is it 'just' used for hauling "thrash and ash"?
- is the spotted-camouflage as shown on the Heller box (Green Hornets?) current?
- does the machine nowadays fly as a gunship (with the rockets and guns as supplied in the Heller-kit)?
- do USAF 1N's ever make use of the pocket-fuel tanks (fuel bladder tanks or whatever they're called)?

Links would be appreciated as well. I have already 'studied' Air Force Link and Air Force Special Operations Command.

Thanks in advance!

WANTED: Sky Models Contact details

Hello to all,

Just bought a 1:35 HN500MD conversion (http://www.aviationmegastore.com/?shopid=LM456403005bc341205479f569dc&action=prodinfo&parent_id=0&art=60224) from Sky Models. Some parts are broken and I would like them replaced.
I searched the net and found a website that could be theirs (http://web.tiscalinet.it/skymodels/). It doesn't feature the 500- conversion kit though, so I may be wrong. I mailed the email-adress on the site but got no reply.

Anyone know Sky Models and have contact details?

Thanks in advance,
Gertjan
