USN CH-91A Malamute

[anthonyp]

Here's a Revell 1/72 NH90 done up as a CH-46 replacement.  I like the looks of this helicopter, but have only found this one example thus far.  I have ideas for at least two more versions.

The Kaman licensed and built CH-91A Malamute, in addition to the SH-91B Sea Malamute ASW helicopter, HH-91C Rescue Malamute SAR helo, and MH-91D Running Malamute multimission helo, make up the USN's family of the NH90 (the H-90 designation already having been used by a USCG NOTAR experiment).  The CH-91A is the UNREP cargo version.

Last one (and I do mean LAST one, as in, I'm out of models for this modelling blitz).

Wow, you can sure pump them out!

Love that name: Malamute!  Fits right in with "Husky" and such.

I like the last shot especially, the ground level one. Good work, excellent conceptualizing.  B)

Cool, got to get me one of those choppers, likely candidate to replace our aging Sea Kings in a few years. And if it doesn't, well, I'll make it a what iff it did offcours.

Thanks for the compliments!!

It's the 1/72 Revell NH90.  I forget the actual name on the box, but I've only seen this one kit, and last I check (a couple of months back) Revell didn't list it on their site.  I really want to get my hands on two more of these to help flesh out some ideas.
