FYI 'copter builders
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, March 21, 2003 3:04 PM
Hey all,

I have a little tidbit of information concerning the new 1:35 CH-47 Chinook. I received an e-mail from megahobby.com that says Panda will be doing several versions of this aircraft. Unfortunately, they didn't specify which versions. But it seems that Panda will be making them. Tongue [:P] They don't have a release date, yet. When/If I get more info, I will pass it on. I also asked them about the 1:32 B-17 that Panda is supposed to come out with, but there is no info right now. Just thought you might like to know.

1/35th CH-47??!! That is going to be one big kit. I can see a great opportunity to make one into a MH-47 from the 160th SOAR and having a SEAL small boat team coming out of the back.

Cheers!

If its true about Panda making a 1/32 B-17, for one it would be BIG and secondly does R/C sound good LOL...!!!!! (just a wacky thought)Tongue [:P]
Flaps up, mike

  If you would listen to everybody about the inaccuracies, most of the kits on your shelf would not have been built Too Close For Guns, Switching To Finger

I just recieved an e-mail from VLS. THey were told by Dragon that the 1/35 CH-47's will be released in May. I don't know the exact time. There are going to be 4 versions. Check out this link, it list them all. They are wrongly under the Academy title but they are all teh Panda models. There are a few other helicopters that they are coming out with.

Thanks for the info, Todd. That would be so cool if they did come out in May. Smile [:)] I also like the selection that they're using. Should make for some interesting dioramas.
