Hi all, I came across this conversion set by accident. Something that has really interested me for a few years, having read somewhere of a conversion in development, so I just had to place an order.
The set is being produced by ‘Werners Wings’, and uses the Trumpeter CH-47D (not the A version) as a base kit, and provides all the extra bits and pieces needed to make a 160th SOAR MH-47E.
I have never used any of their products before, but thought I should share this as conversion set is limited to 75 runs, and might interest a someone out there especially with Live Resins pending helicopter weapons sets.
Here are a few pictures.
new pointy nose that will be cast in clear resin
new large sponsons
corrected front rotor housing:
refuelling probe :
sensors, hoist and others
new cockpit
there should be also a set of flares launchers
There was a deadline order date of the 1st of May, but I believe they will still take orders for a short time. I have copied out the section from my order, which details the order process in case anyone is interested.

Werner’s Wings 1/35th scale MH-47E Conversion Contract
I am asking for a $100 deposit per set to PayPal at fwernerjr@comcast.net or by credit card. This will ensure that you get a conversion set. This money will be used to finance the casting which is quite expensive. With that said, I do not know the release date yet. The total amount will be due at a later date, probably within the next month or two.
Currently I do not know the total costs of the project. I’m expecting it to be in the $150-175 range. I do not foresee it going any higher.
This is a limited edition of 75 units total of the MH-47E. I may offer an MH-47G model later, depending on sales of the E. I may also offer foreign Chinooks and pieces but at a much later date, again depending on demand and availability.
The cockpit/canopy is at the casters being cast in clear resin so you won’t have to mess with clear parts. The other parts are either done or being done in CAD. The refuelling probes are being sent to the US as we speak. This set will NOT have decals with it at this time. When the Werner’s Wings releases the Night Stalkers-Part 2, I will provide you with a set of 1/35th scale decals at a reduced price to be determined when they are released. Only modellers who are on the pre-order/deposit/ paid in full list will be allowed this discount.
If you know of anyone that might be interested I encourage you to let them know about this project. This is expensive but I think you will be quite satisfied with the finished product.
By sending the money you agree to the terms listed above and will receive an MH-47E conversion upon completion of the set AND payment in full. Remember this is a first come, first serve basis. There will be no second run of the MH-47E set.
PLEASE PASS THE WORD ON ANY AND ALL FORUMS!
If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me at fwernerjr@comcast.net or info@wernerswings.com for those overseas.
