A few more future releases. (5 Viewers)

It is a tad pricey, but looks like a very nice kit, with good interior detail too.

And can you please define "a tad"? I'd say Fricking insane but then I've bought bothe the CH-54A and D at $100+ (enfaces on the PLUS)
 
The 48th scale one I did had no Collective arm at the pilot seat which is a very important part of Hellicoptering!!!!!!!!
This one even has the Sonar station, annnnnd transport seats. Everything looks soooooo sharp and crisp. Although I did the US Navy version, the SH3A. However this one has three different jet engine intake versions. IMHO this kit is worth it if one is bent on doing this choppah!

Interesting to note the US SH3 has 5 main and 5 tail rotor blades.
Westland has 5 main and........ 6 tail rotor blades.............. hmmmmmm

The 6 v. 5 tail rotor thing is a holdover from the shillings/pence/farthing change to decimal.
 
I am looking for a decent 1/72 Mig-19 Farmer. Every one I've built looks like a Lindbergh pre-school set. This is an important aircraft of the cold war era and is not shown well. This needs to be fixed.

Have you assembled one of these by the Czech firms, Bilek and Kovozávody Prostějov, yet ? The Kovozávody Prostějov series of the kit contains 12 variants with the different markings and new parts for the Shenyang J-6A model. The Bilek offer is of four kits only with the new parts for the J-6 as well.
The KP kit was released in 2019 while the Bilek one in 2000. IMHO the Bilek kit is a better on although requires some more working.

I'm liking this kit but already have on in the display cabinet with a lot of scratch built interior and exterior detail. :D

I was under the impression that those kits were another recycle of the old Airfix kits. I wasn't aware that they were new molds. Thanks for pointing it out. I'll have to check them out.
