H-43 B Huskie Helicopter 1-48 Testors (TES7206) (???)

Posted by helonewb on Friday, May 18, 2007 2:33 PM

All,

Are you aware of a re-run of the Testors/Italeri H-43B kit? I thought it was a 1/32 scale. I found one on e-Bay listed as 1/48. I contacted the seller (a hobby store) who said Testors is now producing it as 1/48. Is it accurate? The box reads "1/48". Anybody knows the net-net about this one?

Both Greatmodels and Squadron list it as 1/32 with the same boxart and a similar price. I believe that to be a typo.

Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

Have the kit on the shelf of LHS. The scale on the box says 1/48 but....it crossed by hand writing in black pen saying it is 1/32!!! The mark is under the factory plastic seal.

Thanks, that's what I thought. I was surprised the re-run would have the same model number... I saw the old one, and it was undoubtedly 1/32... Too bad! (I do only 1/48).

I am currently working on that kit. The box says 1/48 but it is obviously 1/32. It usually runs about $12 so I would pay to much for it on ebay unless it comes with some extras.

Cobra Company made a great resin detail kit for it, if you are interested I would contact Cobra Company ASAP since he is closing down and selling off his remaining stock.

Thanks. Note that, yesterday, I contacted Cobra co. for something else, and they told me they will re-open for business on June 1st.

I have the same kit on the shelf as well that I got for my birthday. Seeing this post I just opened it and it looks 1/32 to me. Just me 2 cents
