And I am still waiting from LF for a promised continuation of the Fokker CV variants.... WM21 Solyom for example, pls...

It looks like these guys found that small helicopters is very much an un-exploited zone. That is not too bad except for the fact the quality of LF kits could be improved. One size fits all approach ignoring nuances. A lot of parts could benefit from being made of p/e or resin (I understand it means more $€¥£). Fit is not great. Decals are frankly poor, not in register, with inaccuracies and look to be printed on an office inkjet printer. Still having plastic injected models of Bell-47J, Hiller-23 etc is better than not having them at all. So basically we just have a true short run garage manufacturer. If they bring Westland Scout - even better.

They are doing great job in their garage anyway... For me an interesting subject it the category of a light early helicopters will be the Sikorsky R6.

R-4 re-release could be not bad either. MPM one was only released once about 30 years ago.
