                        Howdy Frank!!

                        Gonna have to get me one of these.   Looks like they finally got the message on there not being a better 1/48 Hook other than that old Auroura kit.    Wonder if someone at Italeri saw your pix of that GoGo hook you did some time back that inspired them to do there kit  The detales look pretty good so for and sence there are key areas on the aft rotor pylon that are seperite parts,looks like there will be other versions to come in the future.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a CH-47D/F  and a MH-47E/G.Wink [;)]

                        Thanks for sharing.

                        Hey fellows...

                        I found this flyer of the upcoming 1/48 ACH-47A release and thought you all might like to have a closer look....

                        At first glance, the fuselage appears to be a scaled-up version of their 1/72 release, ie: deep engraved panel lines, but with an opening CE door, and lots of interior detailing! Wink [;)]      The photo shows a Cabin Heater, which the ACH-47's didn't have, but all the better for those who'd like to have the option of building a Slick version!    It may have optional round-window insert panels for the lateral gun ports, and space for an optional aft pylon leading/trailing edge... which would also be a great plus for aftermarket later version modifications! Wink [;)]

                        We'll see... Big Smile [:D]

                        Take care,

                        Frank
