1/48 MH-47 - options?

[DaveJL]

Hello all,

 

Are there any options out there for a 1/48 MH-47E/G?

 

I'm aware that Italeri did a 1/48 CH-47D (though i can't find any online) but i'm not aware of many, if any, conversion sets for the MH-47 are readily available.

 

Any help would be great.

 

Cheers

 

Dave

Hi Dave, Italeri are due to release the D model, however no one to my knowledge does the MH- 47's, great shame. This is partly why I ended up modelling the Werner Wings conversion for the MH-47G in 1/35. 

 

Maybe with the D model coming out, a aftermarket company might do the sponsons, nose etc to convert to a F model or a MH? However no one seems that bothered about producing the sand filters again so  let's not hold our breath.

 

Good luck though.

That’s a shame there’s no 1/48 conversions. 

 

I’d be tempted by the 1/35 conversion but they seem to be hard to get too!

They do pop up now and again on eBay. I contacted Floyd direct via his website for Werner Wings, after a few months or more he located one for me. Not cheap and I struggled with the cockpit glazing but I love the end result. See last years builds 

 

The Trumpy 1/35 D model is a hell'er of a build, no one I've seen on the internet has had a good fitting kit. The lower halfs are a pig.

Great looking build mate!

 

Might have to plump for a 1/72 version
