I find it amazing that no mainstream manufacturer has yet brought out a 1/72nd scale Mil Mi-26 'Halo' in injection moulded plastic. It is only the largest helicopter in the world after all. Please will some manufacturer take heed. I would also like to see a 1/48 Kamov Ka-29/30/31 coming out, the ones with a co-axial rotor which fit very neatly on board naval vessels because, without the tail boom and anti-torque tail rotor, they are compact helis.

Wow, look what the cat dragged in!

Beeing this thread three years old, it's good to see that some of the wishes have come true:

1/48 CH-53E
1/35 Chinooks (A & D)
1/35 Hind
and others I might not have noticed

Since I never added my 2 (Euro) cents on the wishlist (all in 1/35):

Ka-50 Hokum
Ka-27
Ka-29
HH-3F Pelican
Bell 412
A-109
A-129 Mangusta

Last four helos might reveal where I'm from Wink [;)]

I may be a broken record, but seeing as how this topic was dug up from '03, I'll chime in again...

My wish list? Two words: Cobra Lineage

Meaning? A new-tool line of all AH-1 variants to include E, F, G, J, P, Q, S, T, W, and Z. The basic airframe could be used across many of the variants, with extra parts sprues tailored to each model.

1/48 and 1/35 scales, please.

How 'bout a 1/35 Chinook and an Aerospatiale Dauphin--a military version, not one of those Coast Guard ones!
Ohh cmotz you cut to the quick!
As a retired Flight mech (and later rescue swimmer) on the HH65A Dolphin, I remind you the USCG is a branch of the military in the US, (though denied by the other four services. . .).
I do agree, we could use a USCG version of the Aerospatiale, now Eurocopter, helo. Trumpeter's kit is a version of the 365N aircraft, the USCG has the 366G version, subtle, yet very evident differences abound.
I would like to see a 1/48 Sikorsky S62 (HH52A) made also.

Don

I know it's only rock and roll, but I like it.

It will not be the HH-53C but it will be the MH-53M. And we will produce it in 1/35. Coming this year.

Anyone make a 48th kit of the AH-56 Cheyenne? Used to have the Aurora 72nd kit, but was a bit too small.

LOL... that Super Frelon is the old Heller kit, if I'm not mistaken. I remember YEARS ago, when I lived on the Left Coast, my bestest buddy worked at San Antonio Hobby Shop, and he could have sold me as many Heller S.F.s @ $5 each as I wanted! I took it for granted and never got any at all!! (kicking myself all the way back East...)

Fitter asked: "But a CH-53 or HH-3E??? (In 1/35th scale) Too much to ask for! Or izzit?"

I should think not, since Matchbox has a kit out of a 1/35th French Super Frelon. That is at least the same size as a Jolly Green Giant.

I build 1/72 scale Helicopters, and recently posted a few photos of some of my kits. My no. 1 choice on my 1/72 scale wishlist is the Mi-26 Halo. I'd love to have one of those in my collection!

The inside detail of the cabin is much like that of aft loading cargo aircfaft with troop carrying capability with 2 rows of seats .From forward window to aft port hole. the ramp is simple when lowered the top portion of the ramp retracts into lower section ramp.There 2 folding legs of the ramp that fold onto the ramp deck itself or can be folded out for vechicles to enter cabin area ,such as trailers or jeep water tank .This not very common use of cabin. Troops are the main cargo within the helicopter I have great deal information on the Ch-47 as with other rotor wing aircraft .................vgatliff@comcast.net ..............................Pepperfly50

The Ch-47 has 5 serperate transmissions and drive line forward transmission in forward Pylon this connnected to the combining transmission ..At the center of the aft pylon ,Another drive line goes to aft transmission and from engine ,there are on each engine a nosebox transmission with drive line going into the combining transmission on each side from both engines .Always a pre flight inspection would require the crew to inspect all panels all bearings in drive lines on all transmissions as well as checking the chip dictectors on all transmissions and fliulds The blades are alway walk into certain postion on a post flight inspection and tied down .This can give some idea of the maintenance requirements of the crew before or after flight, This will help decide on diorama setting for detailing your Ch-47
