                        Hi Trigger74.

                        I was very happy to see that there will be two kits arriving soon and I hope that we will see a third a MH-47E !!!! I thank that the odds are good that we will !!!!!
                        Seeing those box art photos was very exciting!!! I hope we can see some photos of the sprues lay out soon!! That will be very awsome!!!

                        Hey gang!!!!
                        I'd love to hear your thoughts!!!!

                        Marke, relax. This is great news, but, you still need to take your meds to keep yourself under control. Box art looks great, but it is only a drawing/painting. Lets not get too excited till we see the parts sprues laid out and can examine the details. Hopefully soon. I'll keep my fingers crossed for them.

                        Hi HeavyArty!!

                        Don't worry. I'm in control.Smile [:)]
                        I just think that sence they have the box art now then we should be seeing the kits pretty soon!!! I sure am happy right now.
                        I'm gonna keep my eyes pealed for some pix of the sprue lay outs of these beauties!!
                        I think that our long jurney for a nice 1/35 Hook is gonna pay off soon and that it was well worth the wait!!!

                        I think what Gino's saying is, box art is just talk on their part and talk is cheap. While there's nothing wrong about getting psyched over a kit's upcoming release, don't get too caught up in it, least any further delays could be "demoralizing."

                        Don't believe me? Look at last year's re-issue of the AH-6J, and how often we were teased with that before it became a reality.

                        I'm looking forward to a big MH-47, but until then, I've got enough going on to keep that sliver of gray matter busy!

                        Hey Mark,

                        That is fantastic news, thank you for keeping your eyes peeled for updates! Wink [;)] Maybe before too long we can all be posting our "in progress" pictures of this fine kit!! Big Smile [:D]

                        Wonder what's in the box these fellows are digging into? Wink [;)]


                        Thanks again and take good care my friend!

                        Andy,
                        Now you have us all in suspense. You have to give us more than just pics. Where did you get them from? If that is the new Trump' Hook, it looks promising. More onfo needed... You can't just leave us hanging.

                        Mark, thank you very much for the link. I too was very excited, but keep in mind what Gino and Trigger are saying... this thing could still get delayed. Right now, I'm taking all this with a grain of salt. I'll keep my fingers crossed, but until I see it "In Stock" somewhere, I'm not going to get my hopes up much more.

                        Are you referring to the second shot - the one that's head-on? Because those rotors look like they could very well fold indeed.

                        Keep your fingers crossed. Maybe they will be Trump's next big surprise. We can only hope. I wouldn't bet on ever seeing one from Fly-by-Night I mean Night Flight though.

                        Gino,

                        is this really the way it's going to be? Making fun of me on every public forum?

                        You dont really need to run Photoshop for zooming the photo. I use ACDSee for image browsing and viewing. Its very easy to use and is much faster.

                        Until I see a product, I won't believe that your company will produce anything. You could at least show us something. It has been almost 3 years and you keep making more excuses and promises of a 1/35 CH-53 kit and pilots, etc. Where has your website gone as well? Don't worry, I only post on a few forums, not all of them.

                        I, too, am one who had made a comment or two of your demise.
                        I was one who was really pulling for you. But, as Gino said, it's been almost 3 years and nada, zilch, nothing. Just smoke and mirrors.
                        I still, wish you the best but, I ain't holdin' my breath!! If you had just shown us something, anything. If you had updated your website with a little news more often than once a year it would have been nice.
                        All I have to say in closing is if you plan on getting this show on the road? You better get going because Trumpeter is taking the bull by the horns and just might leave you walking down the old proverbial road, kicking rocks wondering what happened.

                        I think I just passed out looking at those photos.

                        My wife commented that I have the most expensive hobbies. My only reply? "Yes, yes I do."

                        December, eh? Before Christmas?

                        My local Hobby shop keeps a very good eye on this stuff, the guy who does the ordering is a BIG helo fan and he said that he would talk to a buddy at Horizon Dist about what they know about this kit.

                        No matter what ......I'm thinking Spring of 2006 if that soon.

                        He says that the TEST SHOTS are promising because they are done in the GREY styrene.....and they look to be final TEST pics indeed!

                        If Trumpeter had NO plans of releasing this kit you would not see these pics from any kind of show and at that far in production.

                        It has been worth the wait!!
