Title: Will someone ever make a 1/48 skycrane kit
Post by: coolpop6307 on June 17, 2012, 01:46:30 PM
I think this is where I post this?  :banghead: I mean there is the wooden one but I really dont wont to spend U.S. 200.00 for the thing and rip it up to scratch a cockpit.So is there anybody who makes one, or will?

Thanks, Joshua

Possibly someone like Special Hobby? But in 1:48 that's going to be a big model, and therefore expensive.

Rumour has it that Trumpeter are going to be doing a 1/35 UH-34 and Dauphin so you never know.  ;)

Trumpeter did a 1/48th Dauphin back in 2000 -- I have the USCG version.

Agree that a 48th Skycrane would be nice .. but only if they did the fire-bomber version too.

Gordon Bennett!  :o

That scratchbuilt one was AMAZING! But surely it would have been easier to build a real one?  ;D

HOLY COW! That's some building. I just can't do that kind of work. On some models I've wanted and no kits are available, I've done as mentioned earlier, just gotten a display model and added some detail.

I like how he used a Sea King front end, never thought of that, cool build.  :thumbsup: :wub: :wub: :wub:
That hook is a piece of work just on its own.  :bow: :bow:

Removed foot from my mouth.  :lol: frustration directed at the decals themselves, not their user- to be sure. In the Ariz dryness, even decals under clear flat silvered and crumbled...  :-X

I'm sure that there is a MH-53 kit in 1/48 scale that could be whiffed. I'm building the Revell 1/72 kit.
