Italeri 1/48 Chinook

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.

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.

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.

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

Sure hope they do it right myself, waiting on the reviews

When / If they get to a C or D model, wake me up.
