Kitty Hawk do seem to be able to pick all the airframes I like!

[flarpen]

Interesting subjects.

I for one would on the other hand liked to see a AB-204B / UH-1F, but maybe thats coming to (one can only hope).

Magic, and in the correct scale too. Can't wait but maybe I'll have to.

Like them lots! Also, like flarpen, I'd like an AB-204/UH-1F too. Did ESCI ever do one in 1/48th? Had their D and H versions.

ESCI did a very nice D and I think it has been re-boxed by Italeri, who now do a 212 and with the Belcher conversion you can do a 412. As for a B/C model well it has to be the old Monogram kit, it's a bit crude but with some work.....

[Caerbannog]

Oh - if they are into Helis they maybe should do a 1:48 Mil Mi-24 Hind

[hacker]

l like it l am in for those

[Mozzy19]

I'd take one (or two) of those Venoms.

[Antoine]

Let's hope also for an early cobra, from Vietnam era.

Ok in 1/48, but it would have been fine also in 1/35.

Awesome! How good is that looking?!

[marky sparky]

A bit confused here. In the model Vipers engine compartment, there's a large pipe (no idea what it's called) BELOW the main engine but ABOVE in the cad drawings. Which one is right?
