trying to contact the maker 1/35 ah-1z conversion

Hello. I am also looking to find the AH-1Z conversion. If I do come across anything I will send you a message. Thanks, CWO D.T.Blackburk US army retired

Hey Guys,

       I have been trying to get a hold of a gentleman that made a resin conversion for a 1/35 AH-1Z.  His name is Charles Butler, and he was an engineer for bell who worked on the AH-1Z.  I have tried e-mailing him several times, but he hasn't gotten back to me.  His last posts on the matter are about 3 years old.  Does anybody have contact with him, or know how or where to get his conversion set?

Thanks,

Anthony

Unfortunately, Mr. Butler has long ago fallen off the radar and is no longer active in modeling circles.  I know who has his 1/35 AH-1Z masters, but there is no plan to make sets since they are very crude and not really suited for casting. 

There is word that Kitty Hawk is working on 1/35 versions of their excellent 1/48 AH-1Z and UH-1Y kits though.  So keep your eyes peeled for them.

Thanks for the heads up.
