I sure hope it's better than the UH-1N and UH-1H they put out a few years ago!  We need a really good Chinook to "flesh" out the large rotor wing department!  I need a good "Guns A Go-Go" model to compliment a couple of Franks great prints! 

Clear Left!

Well, I'm thinking of going numerically...so, it would sit between my -46 and -53.

A day in the Corps is like a day on the farm; every meal is a banquet, every paycheck a fortune, every formation a parade... The Marine Corps is a department of the Navy? Yeah...The Men's Department.

LemonJello, that's a good idea, but do you want a Chinook between two Marine Corps birds?  Maybe you should have 2 sections, USMC helos and "others."

Don't forget to put the HUEY's and Cobra in the "others" collection since the Marines got their first one's from the Army

Well, seeing as how the USMC is the only service that saw fit to keep those two birds in service and make use of their capabilities, I'd say they qualify as Marine. Wink [;)]

Good point.  I'll have to think that through. Though the Helo Drab would be bookended nicely by the gunship greys of the other two...  I like to mix everything on the shelves, anyway. 

I've got a Cobra and Huey in 1/35, just have to get a couple in 1/48 to go with all the others, then I have to get a -60 in 1/48...it never ends, does it?

It is for me, the Echo $hitter is my last one. I'm not going to buy a Army bird. I'm Gray all the way.

Soooooooo..being a common sense kinda NCO, and seeing as how Italeri put out a 1/72 MH-47E am I off my Meds to think they might be thinking about putting out an MH-47G down the road?  I for one sure as hell hope so.
