alancmlaird Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Absolutely amazing to have a kit of this! I think I'll compile a list of aircraft type NOT reproduced in scale form. Shouldn't take more than half a page of A4 at 12pt. This one I must have. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rio Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I really have to get one of these when it comes out. One of the few Helicopters from the Helicopter Museum I have not built. rio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rholland Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Excellent to see, but interesting choice ahead of Wasp, Scout, Skeeter...? Richard in NZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeronut Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Moulded in clear plastic I assume? All we need now is the (Bedford?) truck it was flown off, at least that way it will be visible. Is this going to be the smallest ever 1:72 aircraft kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truro Model Builder Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) Good gravy! Each one to come with free reading glasses? Interesting subject. At 63mm in length even I might finish that one in a few days. Edited March 15, 2017 by T7 Models 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin1967 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Think I have got to have this one being a bit of a secret rotor head... Well done and thank you Mikro Mir! I notice the name AMP on the box art is this a new brand ? Regards Colin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patjb Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I remember seeing one of these "parked" behind a garage in Aston in Birmingham in the mid/late 70's! It was on a traitor and I did take a slide of it at the time. It will take me a while to find it, not like today's digital collections. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aeronut Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Does anyone make a kit of the lorry they used to fly this thing on and off from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rio Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Looks like a Ford Thames Et6. Found a short wheel base so would need to convert it. Rio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A company called Base Toys I think have done the cab, but I am not sure if they have done a flatbed body. Also you could try Model Transport Images, they specialise in resin commercial vehicle cabs wheels etc and are not cheap. Both will be 1/76th to go with model railways and so are fractionally undersize for the one true scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rio Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 John day models make a 1/76th long wheel flat base of the Ford Thames Et6. Rio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
