This thing is huge in 1/35. I could possibly swing the room (stop it Bob). I know they are releasing it with the whole medical bay/trailer (Bob, stop! Anne will skin you alive!) Price is a bit of a crush though (Tool box in the garage has the extra stash Bob!....STOP IT!) There will be a 1/72 scale version this year (Too small Bob, Need the big one)
Oh man...I'm in trouble!

Not one. |

Dammit Lyle And, if you consider that it is really several kits in one . . . actually two boxes of parts. The cockpit is one, the rotor head is one, the engines are one...and son on. Just trying to be helpful. Did i mention it was on sale? Really not a bad price I guess. If you don't need it yesterday. www.ebay.com/itm/145185925810 |

CH-54 is a handful in 1/72, in 1/35 the rotor disc is just over 2 feet in diameter... Ceiling fan is right.  Anyone that takes one of these on, or even the smaller 1/72 I have lots of detail photos from firefighting conversions. Those engines being front and center in the open scream for added detailing.  |

Yeah.......I'll be watching for your thread on one of these bud. Sorry about the pics being lost to PB. 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. 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. The H-34s with turbine conversions are S-58T in civilianese.  Love these things  and to satisfy your S61 fetish  |
