I really...REALLY want it.
The money is only a minor issue...the real issue is the size and place to put it.
I hear rumors that they're going to put one out in 1/72, some time next year. I will wait!
Maybe by then, someone will come out with a rotor fold!

I have the old 72nd scale Revell kit. That is quite big on its own.

This my 2nd favorite chopper...bested by only the SeaKing (We've got 2 based at my airport!) |

I had some that I needed back so I re-started my account and retrieved them back way back when but I don't know if one could do that now. The Sea King......now THAT'S a beast of a helicopter right there. |

The Sea King......now THAT'S a beast of a helicopter right there. I will be holding out for the 1/72 (hopefully that rotor fold will be scaled down as well!)...so it'll be a little while. CHI (Construction Helicopters Inc) moved from Willow Run, to our airport 12-15 years ago. They had a couple H-34's (not sure of the civilian designation) w/ turbines. Then a Super Puma (has gone elsewhere)...a Chinook (also elsewhere) and now SeaKings, which are even bigger beasts than the military versions! They've also got a pair of CASA 212's (no pics)     The blue/white SeaKing was here to train/transition the pilots for the Kings. |

It did get me thinking about how the airframe was transported. Learn something new everyday, thanks  |

Fermis, have you tried paying for one month on PB and then downloading all your galleries? I did that a couple of years ago. If you pay for a month or two, you have full access...or you did when i did it.

Oh wow! That IS a big model AND it's an ICM which means that it's totally packed with details. I will say that I've never seen one with a bomb before though and that looks like a BIG bomb!! Looking forward to seeing what you do with this one Lyle. Easy there, Scooter. I haven't bought it yet. The wallet is only about half way out of the pocket. There are apparently several versions of the kit. I posted this picture because it was a jpeg...So, the bomb isn't guaranteed. There are several video build logs on Youtube. It is indeed a detailed kit. This would be such a stretch for me and so far out of where I feel I am at this point. ...I only need to convince SWMBO that is is a good idea. The kit and a few extras such as paint mask, Quinta cockpit, etc. brigs the price to well over $200.00, so .... But, I do have a birthday coming up. Go for it Lyle! Ya only live once!!! |

Ah that's not much bigger than my 1/12 Gt 40! Of course the rotor is the monkey wrench here. Lyle Let me say this: If its out your wheel house/comfort zone...All the more reason to build one. It will increase your confidence and expand/sharpen your skill set. Not to mention keep the whole modeling enthusiasm/ adventure fresh for you...Enabler? Me?? Nah. I prefer to think of my self as a "Positive influencer" LOL

I prefer to think of my self as a "Positive influencer" LOL Thank you for the good vibes! My forte and reputation is losing small parts. I once lost an entire wing half of an FM-2 on 1/48 scale. Yeah, I found it months later. There are dozens of tweezer sized things. Those w.Rory me. But, I am really excited to build this! Going to be slow, steady and lots of small bags. |
