Mike Esposito Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 (edited) Does anybody know if there will ever be a new tool kit in 1/48 scale of this famous helicopter? All's we have currently is a 60+ year ancient Revell offering. Anyone heard/seen has anything? Thanks Edited April 21, 2021 by Mike Esposito Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homebee Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Sorry, not even a rumour at the present time. 😥 V.P. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas V. Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Italeri was supposed to be working on H-19 family around 2013, after that date heard nothing. A no brainer subject, but since they are not even able to re-issue 1/72 H-19 my hope is that Trumpeter/HB will release one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold55 Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 I have always thought this would be something AMP would issue given all the other Choppers they have done - we can always hope 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Esposito Posted April 22, 2021 Author Share Posted April 22, 2021 Yes. Does not make sense. It's such an important design with 20+ variants. Used in many parts of the world. 🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas V. Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Shows that mainstream model companies unfortunately have little knowledge about what to tool and why, money and taste/knowledge seldom go together. Italeri was/is in perfect position to do it, but current 1/48 helos show that they do not even know how to capitalise current toolings. Lost in space. I would skip over AMP, while indeed S-51 is interesting as a subject, with their so called quality would prefer TRU/HB or Italeri. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
