Yup, by Dragon.  Check it out here.

You can pre-order one from an online hobby shop like Spruebrothers: http://spruebrothersmodels.com/product/DML3538PRE

'Pre-order' meaning that you can reserve one now at a reduced rate, and they will ship it to you as soon as it's released. Good luck.

Well, I plan on robbing some parts from an Academy UH-1C to dress it up a bit.  I picked up a few at Hobby Lobby at 40% off so don't feel too bad about using the parts.  Like the transmission/engine and pylon assy, stab bar, tail rotor, instrument panel and pilot seats.  Also a bit of sanding to knock down those 1" rivets on everything.  Doesn't look like anyone else is going to give us a good UH-1D or H anytime soon if ever!  The most used helicopter in the last 45 years and no decent kit!  It's a crime!      

Mel,

You have an email inbound.

Dang it! I just made most of those parts in resin so folks can do the same thing. Not for sale yet.

Chief Snake,

So, you are saying you are "down in the LZ" still fighting and waiting on the "recovery bird"! 

How do we find out what you may have left in stock? 

Clear Left!

June 1st we anticipate returning to normal operations. There are price (minor) and postage adjustments. The Panda "soup up" set will be available then. Main xmsn with relocated stby generator and accessory drive, short shaft and filler ports, 90deg GB and the overhead console (alternate) will be in it. I also have an "ash and trash" package working and "crewchief" package working. Shooting for June 1 also but maybe a week later-depends...

Chief Snake,

Absolutely great news!   Glad everything will work out for you and Cobra Company!

We ain't out of the woods. It takes clients to stay in business, hopefully there are enough out there to keep the ball rolling.
