Well if thr German government buys it, Revell will almost certainly kit it. Otherwise it depends on how well the actual helicopter sells as to whether it gets kitted. My guess, for what it is worth, is that you won't see a kit of it for at least 5 years.

I doubt that Nigel, although I sincerely hope you're right. Being a fanatic modeller of helicopters for years, I get the impression that only Black Hawks, Cobras, Hueys, Hinds and the likes get attention from the bigger kit manufacturers. Revell was a welcome exception to that rule with their (1/32) EC135 and -145, but from what I read on these forums, exactly these two kits are poor sellers (although, I might add, this could have more to do with the meagre quality of these kits). I don't see Revell release modern helicopter kits for now or the near future. But man, would I be happy with kits of the Guepard, the EC155, EC225, AW 139 etc.!!
