Info on 1:35 Oh58 Kiowa

No pilots (I think), the difference is in decals. Black Death has decals for the late 80s when we were protecting reflagged Kuwaiti oil tankers during the Iran-Iraq war. Thugs has markings for Desert Storm.

The kit does include seated pilots. I've got one of those Kiowa kits and it came with two pilots. These days they're flying one of Heavy Arty's UH-60s

.

The kits are identical except for decals and I believe the Black Death one also comes with a couple extra weapons options. Minicraft/Academy/MRC are all just reboxings of the same kit. Grant is right. The pilots are probably the best modern ones in plastic. Thanks for the pilots and the pic of my UH-60L Grant. Your guys are actually piloting my MH-6J MELB, they are Special Operators you know.



I highly recomend the OH-58D kit. Nothing wrong with them and no issues with the build. Great detail throughout and lost of small details as well. The kits are great.

If you want to update them as well to the most modern version, there is a set available from Cutting Edge Modelworks. Here is a review of it: http://acc.kitreview.com/cec35013reviewbg_1.htm

Whoa! You guys are not just great but also fast!
Thanks very much for the replies and thanks also about the heads up on the Cutting Edge kit review, I actually had forgotten to ask about that.

BTW: thanks for sharing the kit pics as well: great builds. Although the 35 Black Hawk is too big for me, I hope to stumble across one of these MH6J Special ops kits one of these days...

D'OH! Sorry 'bout that Gino, too many 15 hour days this past week. But hey, that UH-60L deserves attention too!

Wow, my boys have grown up to be Nightstalkers! I'm so proud of 'em!

BTW - if anyone out there has this kit and doesn't want their pilots - drop me n e-mail please.
