AH-6J sighting...
Posted by HeavyArty on Sunday, February 26, 2006 10:09 AM

If anyone is still looking for an AH-6J Littlebird, as many were a while back, one is currently on eBay. 

No connection, just saw it there.

AH-6J Littlebird

 

Let the feeding frenzy begin!!  Good luck.

What are you trying to do, HeavyArty, set off WWIII?  As wanted as that kit is around these parts, the bidding could get pretty intense.  Of course, I am above all of that now that I have 2 of these babies sitting in my stash!  (Insert favorite evil, maniacal laughter here) And my wife asked me if I was going to send one back when I got the second one from Roll Models. 

Good luck and good hunting to the rest of you that are after this kit!

Hmm .. I had no idea that was a sought after kit. One of the local hobby shops in my area has one on the shelf. Its been there forever. Guess I should go buy it.

There are two kits that are like the Holy Grail to helo-modellers; one is this AH-6J and the other is the Vietnam Helo Crew.

Might take my chance on this one. I already have one but I need another one for the BHD-Project ...

About the cover art ..... the Warthog is banking left and the LittleBird is shooting a slope to the right ... might be some airframe contact coming up there ................

Bet that would make the AirO's "pucker factor" go up exponentially.  Need a little work on their deconfliction there, don't they?

I still kick myself for tossing one of these into the trash for minor builder screw-ups and then finding it out it was OOP/the Hope Diamond of helo kits...

That's good! Hopefully that means it won't get out of hand. But I guarantee you and I aren't the only ones watching it.

Guess somebody just couldn't control themselves.  Wasn't me.  I already have another in the stash.  Will build it up to go with its MH-6J MELB brother....eventually....

Well, if you have to have it, guess that it is worth it.  Now you have to get the Cobra Company set for another $25.  Really is a nice set, if you want to build it as a MELB with people planks., otherwise, it will make a nice gunship straight from the box.

 

Good luck and have fun.

Some of us weren't privy to the re-issueBanged Head [banghead]  It will probably sit in my minimal collection for a year or so.. or maybe i'll trade it for something else.. who knows. You never know...i could build it once my desk is done. Thats an idea.. build a kit after buying it? Hmmmm.Thumbs Up [tup]  To be honest I didnt think I was going to win it at 41.00. I just didnt want that "other guy" to get it for 30.00.Laugh [(-D]

LOL... None of us are gonna rat you out, but I don't think you can confuse eBay with Vegas!
