Pardon me for not knowing, but who exactly is "We"? Are you associated with Panda Models?
I've attempted numerous times to establish contact with Panda, while their 1/35 Chinook was in the design stage, to offer detail descriptions, such as markings, etc., but there has never been a reply. Maybe they don't have an interpretation engine on their system and just trash anything other than Chinese? [:0] Then again, maybe they've took the route of several other companies, and decided that it's just a "toy" for adolescents, so it doesn't matter anyhow.
When Italeri released the 1/72 ACH-47A "Easy Money", there were so many OBVIOUS discrepancies, not give or takes, but obvious. I guess that's why I wouldn't make a good model manufacturer; I wouldn't sign-off on a kit that wasn't, at least, properly researched. Some look as if the blueprints were drawn from memory!
I sure would like to own a 1/35 CH-46... I think I'd build it as the Marines Presidential aircraft!
There is such an incredible market for historical tandem rotor helicopters, which sadly, have been totally ignored.[] Some company, some day, will manufacture an accurate, detailed, and historically correct tandem rotor series in a detail enhancing scale.... and they're going to make a PILE of money on them too!
Speaking of the CH-46, here's one in Vietnam, that appears to have taken a hit in the Hydraulic Line, causing the "spray" to catch fire. I got that picture while compiling material for my websites, but have yet to locate anyone who actually knows about this particular flight.
Take care,
Frank
