ReccePhreak Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I was getting ready to start on my Trumpeter 1/72 CH-47D, which I plan to do in RTAF marings. I just noticed that the kit does not have the enlarged radome, and there is no aftermarket conversion for that. Can I take the Italeri MH-47E and make a CH-47D out of it? Or is there an existing 1/72 CH-47D kit out by somebody else that has the enlarged nose radome, and is generally correct? Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyboy72nd Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Do a google search for 1/72 MH-47 you'll find what you need...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the suggestion, but I could not find an answer to my first question. I guess I will try to find an Academy CH-47D ROK Army kit.

Flyboy72nd Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 You need to look harder at the pics of the Thai Chinook, then check the Wolfpack conversion, it's not just the nose!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you talking about the Wolfpack 1:72 CH-47D(LR)/SD Chinook Conversion Set for Italeri (WP72057)? https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51kmrUiiIVL._SR600%2C315_PIWhiteStrip%2CBottomLeft%2C0%2C35_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyboy72nd Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 That's the one, yes it is designed for the Italeri kit but could be used with Trumpeter with a little work! You may need to reinforce the tanks with some styrene strip but that's just part of modelling!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
