Thank you very much for the replies guys,

Although initially I had figured that the Italeri kit might be a rebox, I started to have doubts when I saw prices of both kits: the Dragon kit is listed at appr. thirty euros, while the Italeri costed about one third of that [:0].
Well, I guess that answers the question why I've only seen the Dragon kits and never the Italeri one...

Thanks again,
Gertjan

Yes Italeri is the europen importer for Dragon, so it has some reboxed kits.
BTW I didn't that the Italeri kit had the crew figures as well.

The Italeri kit is the same kit as Dragon's. It is simply reboxed in an Italeri box and with new decals. It still has the two crew figures, pilot and rear door gunner, as well.

Italeri does the reboxing of other model company kits quite often. I think they have a deal with some Asian importers to rebox their kits and market them in Europe. They did this with a bunch of Dragon's kits and also with Academy kits. There are Italeri versions of Academy's 1/35 UH-1C, AH-1W, and UH-60 as well.

Italeri 1:35 OH6

In an online catalogue I saw mentioned an Italeri 1:35 OH6. Discontinued ofcourse...Sad [:(] I must admit I never knew Italeri made one in 1:35: anyone have comments on that kit. Does it have pilot figures?
I know the Dragon OH6 (discontinued as well I know) does have pilot figures (I just read csago's ' OH6A Vietnam in progress' -thread) and I think they're great.

Any guesses about availability of the kits mentioned above? I recently stumbled across some Dragon OH/ MH6-kits (and was stupid enough not to buy themAngry [:(!]) but I have never seen the Italeri 1:35 OH6- kits.

Thanks in advance for any information.
