                        Hey Frank thanks for that!
                        Also saw the Bell Model 30...something else from that TV doco I want to see as a kit. Very attractive looking chopper.
                        And wouldn't that XCH-62 be massive...
                        And the Sikorsky S-67...my all-time favourite gunship..so elegant

                        Wierd looking, don't know of any kitd, if NASM has it. it's most likely in storage waiting for space to exhibit and restoration as necessary

                        Now this is a real oddball...

                        http://www.boeing.com/history/mdc/graphics/histlarg/hist191b.jpg

                        I saw footage of this on a documentary called "The Chopper" (produced in the
                        1970s, great footage of various subjects, No idea who made it) and I'd love to make a model of it.

                        Here's the clincher...does anyone, anywhere know of any kit in any form of this aircraft?

                        Apparently the original was, at one point, in the Garber Facility of the NASM in Silver Hill, Maryland (according to an issue of AIR Enthusiast circa 1970s). What happened to it?
