Okay is mine misprinted or is it for real?! if this is real I bet now you would really drule all over the place!Dinner [dinner]

One or both those numbers HAS to be wrong. Maybe the price is shipping and handling! Big Smile [:D] Or maybe that's the price you have to pay for the priviliege of pre-ordering.

Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

1/24th Chinook!!!

My goodness, you could put your entire arm, up to the elbow, inside the cabin!!!
Not to mention the cast aluminum gear struts it would require to hold the weight of that beast!!

Rotor tip to rotor tip would be in excess of 5 ft... hmmm... I'd have to use it as a yard ornament however cause Lisa would definitely draw the line on a model that big in the house!!

Staggering!!!

I think that 1/35 is just fine! ......when and if that ever happens Censored [censored]

At this rate I think that a NEW 1/48 Hook by academy or MRC would be just as good!.....plus it would look swell along side of that new 1/48 Sea Knight! Cool [8D]

For crying out loud! I wish that these companies were like Polar Lights!....They ask thier fans what they want next and they LISTION!!
