Italeri 1/48 AH-1W

I can't find the kit any where.  Is it almost impossible to find or do I need to look harder??

Get the 1/48 Italeri AH-1Z. It contains all the parts for the Whiskey, and I've had more luck finding it online.

Heller has it. Same kit as Italeri (UH-1N 1/49 that is).

That's what I hear. Apparently, Heller has their hands on the Italeri molds, or is reboxing Italeri kits...something like that. But I'm 90% sure the moldings are the same, so the upgrade kits should work.

You can still find the Italeri versions around, too.

**edit...great minds think alike (and at the same time), grandad!
