New Chinook kit on the way!!!!!!!!

Hey Mark.

First I heard about your bout with cancer (I've been away awhile) but, it's great to hear that you are doing good.  If the good Lord ain't through with you yet, you'll be here for awhile longer.  I thank Him every morning, that He wasn't through with me back in November.

I guess I need to get started on a bunch of kits I've got stashed.

Hiya Mark,

 Welcome back my friend!       I was wondering the other day about you, with all the recent Chinook activity in modeling going on, and became concerned when I rememered your hospital stay... so glad to see you kicking again!

  I'm sorry I did not reply earlier, but the wife and I are without offspring at home now, so one of those "spur of the moment" mini vacations occured!     I said to her; "You know, we're going to get use to this!"

  I found the boxart for the upcoming Italeri "D Model".... 

..... Pretty cool, aye?

  I also found some references to a new 1/72 Chinook from Trumpeter, an "A" and a "D" if I'm not mistaken... http://www.modelcraftsandhobbies.co.nz/?page=shop/flypage&product_id=7758&category_id=c28416dd4f8ed0a5f2c0df6f6ac511d8&

I'm curious if the 1/72 version is a scaled down 1/35?

Take good care,

Frank

Have we any word on when it'll be out?  I'm definitely going to get one, even though I haven't gotten the GoGo bird yet!

Good to here you are doing well,

Also good to have the heads up on the new Hook sound good i have 2 of the GoGo birds yet to start.

All the best.
