                        I must say, I can't add to CH's list! That 1:35 scale AH-1G would be #1 on my list... and the -J would be a great addition, as well. But a CH-53 or HH-3E??? Too much to ask for! Or izzit?

                        Would love to see the AH-1G with 20mm on left stub wing in 1/35 as well as a quality UH-1D/H. After buying Panda's, no way I buy anything from them again! I'll try and update the old Aroura CH-47 in 1/48. Need a HH-3 Golly Green in 1/48 as well as the old H-21 and an AH-47.

                        I'm thrilled that Panda came out with the 1:35th scale Huey "D". I'ld like a litter bearing/Medevac version of the "slick" make a stupendous diorama

                        Two things first:

                        1. There is a 1/35 HH-53 being produced in the near future I beleive (US$179 I think)

                        2. The Mi-26 is the Halo not the Mi-6 - for a walkaround have a look at Helicopter walkaround site. (big in whatever scale you choose)

                        My wishes are:

                        1. 1/35 Kiowa A/B
                        2. 1/35 Seaking
                        3. 1/35 Wessex

                        Well thats my 2 devalued Australian cents worth

                        Would a 1/35 or 1/48 CH-53e be out of the question?? How about walking on the wild side and produce a CH-54!

                        1/35 Scale:

                        AH-1G
                        AH-1S Mod
                        AH-1F
                        AH-6
                        MH-6
                        TH-55

                        Any good update kits, especially for the AH-64 A and D. Engine, transmission, crew cockpits.

                        120mm Figure:

                        AH-64 Aviator in full flight gear.
                        160th SOAR Aviator with full flight/mission gear.

                        Since Verlinden just put out the WWII gunner, how about a 120mm of a UH-1H door gunner from Vietnam?

                        Just wishing....

                        How 'bout a 1/35 Chinook and an Aerospatiale Dauphin--a military version, not one of those Coast Guard ones!

                        Italeri has a 1/72 OH-6, but I'm not sure if it is currently being offered. Bought mine a couple of years ago.

                        I agree with Upnorth - Atlas Rooivalk and Mil Mi - 2 "Hoplite", Mi-4 "Hound", Mi-8/17 in 1/48 - and perhaps Mi-24 in 1/35 ! Aleksander

                        The MV22 Osprey would be cool in 1/35. You could do a 'future' combat insertion diorama.

                        I'd like to see the following kits made .
                        1/35 UH-1H Huey
                        1/35 AH-1S( mod S) with composite blades
                        How about an accurate injection molded T53 engine too.

                        Fuzzy, Panda models has a D model, the maain diffrence between D and H I think was the uprated engine. Outside they were pretty muck the same. Am I right guys? The only problem with the Panda kit is the Main and tail rotors are more like the N model Twin Huey. Still waiting for someone to come up with a way of correcting them. Sigh..........

                        Lee,
                        The air inlet screens for the engine were different along with some
                        antenna's . You' re right the blades are not the best . I have one of Pandas kits it's nice but the details aren't as fine as other new releases. I should be glad
                        someone has done one and build it .
