1/48 Helicopter Kit Poll

  I notice I don't see any or can't find any offshore helicopters or civilan helicoptors of any type PHI uses  Sikorsky"s S-76C+,S-76C++,S-76A++and 92's and other type of Helis would any one know if Sikorsky's military Helicopters would be close to them because my sister's boyfriend works offshore and fly's in them to and from work and I would like to model one using PHI markings-thank you 

Deffinately the HH-43 Pedro.

also the H-13, H-19, and HH-3.

I'd like to see an AH-1W Super Cobra, an HH-3F Pelican,the Coast Guard verison, and the Coast Guard HH-52 SeaGuard would be nice to see. Also the HH-60J Jayhawk and the CH-54 Skycrane.

As for the European helicopters I'd like to see the Lynx, the AB-109, and the Gazelle.

Anything that isn't already done in 1/48, like:

Roovialk

Mongoose

OH-1

Souix Scout

Westland Scout

YAH-63

AH-56

HO5S

OH-43

H-37

British

Westland Sea King HAR 3, HAR 3a, Commando and AEW.

Westland Scout/Wasp

Fairey Rotodyne

US

Skycrane

Cheyenne

Hmmm... how about a decent short-cabin Huey with lots of armament options, choice of rotor system and tail fin, and a really detailed interior?

Oh, and an AH-56.

:D

I am going to say:

my old helo the MH-53E,

my new helo the HH-60H

and an Mi-26

I retract my previously stated entries for this one:

A 1/48 Bell Model 249!!!

US

AH-1G

AH/MH-6

CH-54

Russian

KA-52

MIO-28

KA-50

European

EC135

AS-350

Lynx

Great idea for a poll, but are any manufacturers listening?!?! 

US Helicopters: -

Russian Helicopters:

Ka-52 (small enough to be 35th . . .how about it Trumpeter?)

Mi-26

Mi-12, 'Homer' (HUGE & AWESOME!!!)

European Helicopters:

EC-135

Ah, if only . . .

An HH-3 Pleasssseeeeee!   Optional parts for either a Coast Guard or USAF SAR would be an added bonus!!

1/48 US Helicopter:

- Bell OH-58D (Saddly this is the one helo that has never seen this scale and if done right, would make an excellent counter part too Hasegawa's 1/48 AH-64A/D)

1/48 Russian Helicopter:

- Mil Mi-28N Havoc-B (I love Russian helo's, especially their latest gunship, next to Ka-50, Mi-24 and Mi-26 this is another top fav)

1/48 European helicopter:

-  Agusta A.129CMT Mangusta (This was hard, I truely want to see a Merlin, Lynx and new tooling of the Tiger as well. But lets be honest, the Mangusta would make an excellent helo kit in this scale)

Gotta go with the CH-54A/B, H-3 series (USAF, USCG versions) and the OH-58D.  Russian Ka-50, Mi-28 and Mi-8.  European Lynx (accurate RN and Army versions), EH-101 and Tiger.  There are so many more that I would like to see but I'm playin' by the rules, only 3 choices each.  Hey folks we yelled loudly for a CH-53E and a CH-47.  Low and behold we got 'em!  Lets keep up the noise.

US: S76

Russian:

-

European:

AW139

Thank you!

From the top

H-19

Mil Mi-6 "hook"

Westland Wessex (any varient incl. uh-34)

Here's hoping......

Rich

I'll second the CH-37 and add the CH-54.

AH-1Z..................Italeri's Viper is atrocious -- we need a production model

Ka-52...................Dunno why, I just find this two-seater fascinating

Eurocopter Tiger.....Hoping the new, lauded 1/72 kit is upscaled

HH-60H

Mi-28N

A-109E

Those are my votes...

In addition to the list I would add: AH-1G, AH-1Z(production), accurate UH-1B, C and F/P, CH-3 and variants, UH-19, CH-21, OH-23, CH-34, and CH-37. I'm sure I missed a few. (not asking for much, am I)

I agree with Grandad.

The Revell H-19 is showing it's age and there is no interior to speak of, Ditto for the H-34, I haven't seen the FM H-21 so I can't comment on it but it would be nice to have new tool kits of all those aircraft

A CH-37 would be nice in 1/48th but I would be happy to see one even in 1/72nd (if it was done as well as the Italeri H-19, H-34 and H-21 in that scale)

Jonathan Primm

AH-1 (new tool, G model or S/F)

Eurocopter ASTAR AS-350

Bell 206 Longranger III w/ complete engine

Surprisingly, I'm finding myself voting for the OH-58D in the US category.  Everything else either has some variant of a kit or will have one relatively soon.  There is no 48th scale Kiowa Warrior out there and it is a subject that is sorely lacking.

For Russian and European, again, I've gotta go Attack and say the Mi-28N and Mangusta.
