1/48 Helicopter Kit Poll

HH-60H

KA-52

Tiger 

An EH-101 Merlin would be nice to see. It would have American appeal as well if released as the VH-71 Kestrel or to give it its other designation; Marine One.

Puma - Royal Air Force, an accurate one with right aerials etc

CH-47D or any other variant

MH-47E/G 

Surprisingly, I'm finding myself voting for the OH-58D in the US category.  Everything else either has some variant of a kit or will have one relatively soon.  There is no 48th scale Kiowa Warrior out there and it is a subject that is sorely lacking.

For Russian and European, again, I've gotta go Attack and say the Mi-28N and Mangusta.

AH-1 (new tool, G model or S/F)

Eurocopter ASTAR AS-350

Bell 206 Longranger III w/ complete engine

In addition to the list I would add: AH-1G, AH-1Z(production), accurate UH-1B, C and F/P, CH-3 and variants, UH-19, CH-21, OH-23, CH-34, and CH-37. I'm sure I missed a few. (not asking for much, am I)

I agree with Grandad.

The Revell H-19 is showing it's age and there is no interior to speak of, Ditto for the H-34, I haven't seen the FM H-21 so I can't comment on it but it would be nice to have new tool kits of all those aircraft

A CH-37 would be nice in 1/48th but I would be happy to see one even in 1/72nd (if it was done as well as the Italeri H-19, H-34 and H-21 in that scale)

HH-60H

Mi-28N

A-109E

Those are my votes...

AH-1Z..................Italeri's Viper is atrocious -- we need a production model

Ka-52...................Dunno why, I just find this two-seater fascinating

Eurocopter Tiger.....Hoping the new, lauded 1/72 kit is upscaled

I'll second the CH-37 and add the CH-54.

Thank you!

Gotta go with the CH-54A/B, H-3 series (USAF, USCG versions) and the OH-58D.  Russian Ka-50, Mi-28 and Mi-8.  European Lynx (accurate RN and Army versions), EH-101 and Tiger.  There are so many more that I would like to see but I'm playin' by the rules, only 3 choices each.  Hey folks we yelled loudly for a CH-53E and a CH-47.  Low and behold we got 'em!  Lets keep up the noise.

1/48 US Helicopter:

- Bell OH-58D (Saddly this is the one helo that has never seen this scale and if done right, would make an excellent counter part too Hasegawa's 1/48 AH-64A/D)

1/48 Russian Helicopter:

- Mil Mi-28N Havoc-B (I love Russian helo's, especially their latest gunship, next to Ka-50, Mi-24 and Mi-26 this is another top fav)

1/48 European helicopter:

-  Agusta A.129CMT Mangusta (This was hard, I truely want to see a Merlin, Lynx and new tooling of the Tiger as well. But lets be honest, the Mangusta would make an excellent helo kit in this scale)

An HH-3 Pleasssseeeeee!   Optional parts for either a Coast Guard or USAF SAR would be an added bonus!!

Great idea for a poll, but are any manufacturers listening?!?! 

US Helicopters: -

Russian Helicopters:

Ka-52 (small enough to be 35th . . .how about it Trumpeter?)

Mi-26

Mi-12, 'Homer' (HUGE & AWESOME!!!)

European Helicopters:

EC-135

Ah, if only . . .

US

AH-1G

AH/MH-6

CH-54

Russian

KA-52

MIO-28

KA-50

European

EC135

AS-350

Lynx

I retract my previously stated entries for this one:

A 1/48 Bell Model 249!!!

I am going to say:

my old helo the MH-53E,

my new helo the HH-60H

and an Mi-26

Hmmm... how about a decent short-cabin Huey with lots of armament options, choice of rotor system and tail fin, and a really detailed interior?

Oh, and an AH-56.

:D

I'd like to see an AH-1W Super Cobra, an HH-3F Pelican,the Coast Guard verison, and the Coast Guard HH-52 SeaGuard would be nice to see. Also the HH-60J Jayhawk and the CH-54 Skycrane.

As for the European helicopters I'd like to see the Lynx, the AB-109, and the Gazelle.
