I know it's not 1/48, but.....

Hey John. Are you documenting your Tamiya/Matchbox conversion? If so I sure would like to see it.

Thanks in advance.

Well, It had to go somewhere, didn't it?

I looked back at the link in the first post in this thread, and see that it was updated 8/20/07.  The 1/72 CH-37 is there, but in text at the bottom is listed also a 1/48 H-21.  I am mostly happy about the CH-37, but the H-21 is nice to see in 1/48.  What a deal! I recently reworked the CH-37 pictures on my website, rescanned and enlarged a bunch of them, and also added some from HMH-461 at New River sent to me by John Schroeder.  Included are a couple of photos of CH-37's on escort carriers.  Neat photos, I hadn't seen any of them on escort carriers before.  Here's the link: http://yolo.net/~jeaton/mojave/ch37.htm

I guess Ilied to you in the PM the other day, now that I see the pic I DO remember seeing that machine with the single jet on top! Imagine what the inlet noise alone was like!!!!!

Dude.....wild ride in the old boxcar!!

I had to reach down and pick my jaw up off the floor! Man I wish that was 1/48!!!!!!!

I'll buy one.  I bought a 1/72 CH-53E (Years before Academy made one in 48th) and a 1/72 UH-34 (couldn't get the 48th Revell).  Therefore a 1/72 CH-37 will fit in my collection well.

Semper Fi,

I don't know why?

I don't know why?

Thanks Frank!! I've got well over 1000 pictures of fire bombers and that's the first time I've seen that one!

You better believe it's in my collection now!!

Gulp!!!

No kidding, a Mojave !!     This will pretty much close the circle on modeled classical Army helicopters, will it not?     48th scale would be awesome, and maybe possible if the 72nd version goes over well, but either way, it will sure be a welcome addition to my collection!

Hey, I came across a picture the other day while surfing, and I instantly thought of you!    Here it is...

Thanks for the heads-up,  

Take care,

Frank
