Why is the AH-1G the only helo not out in 35th?

holy merde, batman. That is one impressive build.
And you're right about the subject list.

Presto,

I heard that, man! There are several varieties I'd love to see made available from that era.

Have you seen the CH-54 in 1/48 scale that French modeler is doing? Check it out.....

You know, a series of Helicopters no ones paid much attention to, but ALL Army helicopter pilots can relate to, are the TH's! There's a 35th H-13 already out, but imagine the market for and TH-55 and TH-23, or the later TH-67!

Practically every ex & current Army Aviator would have one of the type they soloed in, eventually. Seems an untapped market, just like most of the Helicopters flown in Vietnam.

"Upon initial contact, you have received information Zulu"

Don't forget the early h-19's.
Can you imagine the size let alone the parts list for a 1/35 - 1/32 skycrane? (ordanance a 10k bomb with daisy cutter fuse)
I would snatch up several ah-1g's in today's standards.

Dosen't DML make the OH-6 "loach" (Miss Clawd IV) - or is it OOP?
ya would have figured that they would have continued on with thier nam series with so many subjects

Hi Jon,

I just *squench* my eyes and look at the old Revell 1/32nd G-Model that sits beside the old 1/32nd "Miss Clawd II" on my Model Mantle in the basement. [|D]

I've always wondered why a company like MRC, instead of putting all their proverbial eggs in one basket and running 3 or 4 versions of the same kit, doesn't produce a "Series" line, where the helicopters of a particular era are showcased in matching scales?

A BUNCH of Huey's would have surely perished in Vietnam had it not been for a CH-47 recovering them, and a BUNCH of Chinooks would have perished had it not been for the CH-54 recovering them.... so my question to the model manufactures is; "Why haven't you produced, much less considered, anything other than the UH-1 series to represent the Choppers from the Vietnam era?" The Market is certainly present that would justify the production of a; (1) CH-47A, B, C (2) CH-54A, B (3) AH-1G (4) CH-37 (5) H-23 (6) OH-6 (7) H-34 and (8) H-21, series of 1/35 scale helicopters, instead of EIGHT versions of the UH-1.

Nothing wrong with the UH-1 series, but there were others too, that should be available.

Oh well, doesn't cost a dime to dream, does it?

Blackwolf....

hmmmm.... you may be on to something!

Because, Jon, they know you want one and they just wanna ruin your day.
