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. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me an interesting subject it the category of a light early helicopters will be the Sikorsky R6. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPM one was only released once about 30 years ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
