It's official!! PANDA'S 1/35 CHINOOK line up soon!

TM-55-1520-240-10 is a great reference for the Chinook. I used to have a hard copy (courtesy of the US Government) until my apartment building caught fire.......no worries though, i managed to save the Aurora HC-1B kit.

Anywho....another great reference is an old Airfax book on the Chinook. I think it was Airfax 27 by David Anderton. Another is the CH-47 In-Action series done by Squadron. Needless to say, these too were lost in the fire.

Back to the drawing board.

If any one needs photos or references on D Model Chinooks please drop me an email. I am a Chinook Instructor Pilot and have been flying them since 1984.

Check out Amazon!

there is a 900 something page CD ROM manual on the Chinook D and E model for around 15.00 bucks!
lots of chapters and goodies.

just FYI.

UPDATE:

A dude on ebay is also offering them at that same price and you can use paypal....don't worry...its not me I'm papaecho04 on ebay. Sorry if I have ever 'snipped' something last minute from you?

UPDATE number # 2.

I just recieved my Chinook CD rom today and WOW!!! its loaded! perfect for super detailing.....no real pics but the diagrams can be increased in size! I'm happy! it covers the Cockpit, control panels and LOTS MOORE!

QUOTE: Originally posted by toad I recieved an e-mail from the staff at VLS, they were told by Dragon that the Panda 1/35 CH-47's should be relased in May.

HAPPY HAPPY! JOY JOY!!

Lets hope! ........but on the down side thats too soon! ......I have at least 5 projects that I hope to have done for an october Contest.....what a TEASE that will be sitting in the garage ( cuz I'm sure the box wil be too big for the closet or under the bed ) till I can get to it!

That and Revell's big new 1/72 scale U-BOOT! due this Nov....DANG!

What a year for kits!

That is certainly good news, but have you folks really seen Panda's products live and in person? I haven't built a kit yet, but I've taken a look in the boxes of of a coupla kits, and I'd have to describe the detail as "chunky" at best. Sturdy, for sure, but way out of scale (particularly the Huey).
Still is cool to have a Chinook coming out, though!

I looks like Panda is long on "future releases". Their web site only shows a next release of the Arleigh Burke.
You may be waiting a while.

Noot to mention all the Huey models coming out as well. Hot dog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Ed
