1/48 Helicopter kits...where be they all?

(1/3) > >>

GTX_Admin:
Hi folks,

Something that has frustrated me for a while is the apparent lack of helicopter kits in the 1/48 scale.  It seems possible to get more kits in 1/72 and 1/35 then in 1/48.  Thoughts?

Regards,

Greg

Lots...but to start with:

Mil Mi-24A
Mil Mi-8/17
Aérospatiale Super Frelon
Aérospatiale Puma/Cougar
Kamov Ka-25
Kamov Ka-27
NH-90

Academy do several MD-500s - dull, I know but the cabins are good for sci-fi crew-pods.

Don't think there is any kit of the Super-Frelon other than the big 1/35th Heller one -- you may have to build that & just park it further away from your eye :-X   There is a civil Frelon in a museum in Oz.

According to the PAK-20 book Greg, there's the following
Mil-8/17 --   Cutting Edge (also known as Meteor Productions); Mee [reboxed by DFI & Mir (could be 1/50)]; Navigator; Russian Project
Mil-24 --   Combat Models; Monogram; Trumpeter
Super Frelon --  Heller and Mee did one in 1/50
Puma/Super Puma --  Heller and Mee did one in 1/50
The only Kamov I can see in 1/48 is the Ka-50 by Italeri

When looking for the Super Frelon or Puma, you might have more search success if you used SUD-Aviation instead of Aérospatiale
