I've seen them at train shows, but I think some model railroad importers (those carrying Roco) sell those as well.  Walthers carries several of the kits (at least Apache, CH-53 and EC-135) including the Apache at a sale price of $18 or so.  Here's a link:

I should add that Walthers had previously sold an HO scale  Roco P-51 (along with an Me-109 and and DC-3/C-47) under the Walthers label.

 Where can these be found. I remember seeing an add for 1/87 P-51s, but have never actually seen one anywhere.

My dad built, and still does build, HO Roco helos and tanks. Pretty straight forward builds. He built them for his HO scale Rail stuff. That is what got me into the hobby. I branched off into the 1/48, 1/72, and 1/35 scale models....I really liked the detail. Roco makes some great kits for the scale though. I had no idea they were making CH-53's and Apaches. I grew up with the Huey "slicks" and Cobras. Times change. Have fun.

Howdy!

Has anyone in this forum built any of Roco's HO scale (1:87) helicopter models?  I have a number of the kits, including a couple of CH-53s, Apaches and Hueys.   Any particular issues I should watch for?  Detailing suggestions? 

Thanks!
