A couple of years ago I brought two Kitech Helicopters, a AH-1G and a Mil 24 Hind, because they were very cheap. So cheap in fact I thought that they were crap and would sit on the shelf forever. After now needing some helio airpower I have decided to finally do something about them. First up will be the AH-1G as it is needed to take down some NK armour. Not the correct model for 1985 but close enough.
So it came as a pleasant surprise to actually open the box and find a single spure of parts that were, to my eye anyway, quite decent if simple. After further googling I have come to the conclusion that it is a copy of the old monogram kit, which isn't half bad. So that is this weekends project sorted. I can see that painting the crew will probably take longer than the construction.
Doesn´t look to complicated a build. I had one of these (the make I cannot remember) to support my two Hueys when they were transporting my WWII German Paras behind enemy lines...those were the days. :-D

Jeeze Tim, cheers for that...It's really put the wind up me thanks mate...I will have to look into it.
ReplyDeleteConstruction happening my Belgian friend.
ReplyDeleteCheers Paul
Thanks Geordie.
ReplyDeleteHi Monty, I think you are quite right about the Cobra vs Apache. While I would fear wee myself on the table facing a flight of AH 64's it is rather more sporting to use AH-1's.
ReplyDeleteThe AH-1 always looked a more attractive bird as well.
Cheers mate.
