Hi All,

Can't remember who was asking about a kit of the Rooivalk, but here's a review of one over at SMAKR

Quite a cool site in general, I've posted a bit of stuff, review-wise over there.

Regards,

Mav

John,

What scale? I've got plans to do an Australian one as an alternate AIR87 bird.

Yes, there have actually been two production runs on that kit. The first one had a solid-brick fuselage casting that weighed a ton, the second run was hollow cast and significantly lighter.

The main dynamic components are best replaced with plastic parts from the Italeri Super Puma/Cougar kits, otherwise the rotor blades can be expected to go droopy over time.

What if
