kiwitrogg Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 No worries Colin......It's on my shopping list as well. Cheers Gaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin W Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Its another SH-2F though. Is it a repop of the old matchbox kit or a new mould? For RNZAF we needed an SH-2G which is quite a lot different. Colin W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heloman1 Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 Hi Colin. Have a look elsewhere here on BM there is another Seasprite thread. I think it may be in the Rumourmonger pages, it's a totally new kit with a G promissed too, test shot pics etc. Happy days at long last.

Julien Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Good news is the review kit is here and once I have cleaned the drool off I will get writing. The main fuselage parts do not come on a sprue but separate. They are that good they just clipped together! Julien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkmouth Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) I got mine and was surprised that one side of the fuselage (at the top) has all the details missing. Panel lines just end. Did you notice that too? Regards, Edited January 30, 2014 by sharkmouth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you notice that too? Regards, Yes, If you look this is where the housing for the tail rotor drive shaft goes, its off set to one side not straight down the middle. No sense putting detail there if it will be covered up. Picture from http://www.helis.com/ Julien 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Perren Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) Sprue Bros has the kit in stock in the US. HLJ still has the kit as a Jan Release pre-order and no mention of the kit at all on my other usual online sources. ( Lucky Model HK and Hobby Easy Korea). Needless to say I pulled the trigger from Sprue Brothers and my kit is on the way. Geez I must want this badly because the postage was brutal .

Colin Hi Colin, I would normally try Lucky but curiously there is no mention of the kit there at all. Not even a pre-order?Having said that it will probably be available ex stock from there tomorrow for $5 less than I paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heloman1 Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 Hi Andrew. LH had it down for the 20th Jan release and I had bookmarked the page but have lost it... I've just had a lookat their suite now but there is no mention of the kit but then the search buttons don't exactly help! You can't specify Kitty Hawk kits in the manufacturer list.

Julien Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 One thing about the Seasprite, why is the Star & Bar that way up on the front? Julien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
