I really don't mean to sound ungrateful as this is such unexpected and very welcome news!

yes, as an OH23C with fishbowl canopy

I still would love one of these, though!

There are even two Hu-12s in James Bond movies : one in "From Russia with Love" and another one in "Goldfinger", used to carry the atomic Device to Fort Knox.

And in a lovely touch was in the Man from UNCLE remake too! ;)

Dammit, the very old Special Hobby kit has been on my shelf of shame for 15 years as I could not get past the overly thick vacformed canopy. If the glazing is as good as for the 23B model then count me in - I can always cross kit the nice resin parts from SH.

One comment to anybody willing to build Vietnam War bird - no US roundels were applied by Army choppers after around 1966 or so. They only carried 'UNITED STATES ARMY' inscription and that was it. This happened together with refusal from yellow band to mark tail rotor danger zone and font change from yellow to black. Everything done to reduce visibility. 

 

Here is the picture of exactly the same chopper with number '276'. No roundel apparently. Also note antennae located on the tail boom (LF does not mention this in the instructions) and wheels attached here to the skids.
