Hi Andy
No mention in there of the helo crew? [sigh]
Andy
I went on-line and couldn’t find anything under Dragon. Is it a re-release of the Panda UH-1N?
Not sure if they are a subsidary but I know that Panda and Dragon are linked. An upgrade kit with resin and PE would be great.
Think they would ever look favorably on us like they do the armor guys?
I’ll keep my fingers crossed that they made some refinements to the Panda molds.
Heck, would it be to much to hope for a re-tool? Or does Dragon only re-tool multiple versions of the same 'ol Wehrmacht equipment? [sigh]
Hope we get some more news soon.
Andy
I think down sizing those 1/24 rivets would be a nice first step [:-^]
It has already been discussed on another forum and the general consensus is that it is a re-box of the Panda model. Dragon and Panda are connected. We can hope for a retool, but don’t hold your breath. It isn’t Panzer gray and doesn’t have road wheels.
Or an 88mm gun [B)]
Well, at least the Chief Snake will be getting a little more business, then.
Andy
Thanks for the heads up, Andy.
Actually the AH-6J has been in their catalogue for at lest two years now, but I’ve seen none in any shop yet.
Let’s hope that this time it’s for good.
ASW version sounds interesting. If I remember correctly Panda didn’t make the ASW so it might be that people at Dragon’s made their homework … at least I hope
Sprue Brothers has them, but the going price has jumped to $31.
has anyone here built one up (Panda N) with the Cobra conversion nose retrofit ?
If the pics come through, here’s my UH-1N with the Cobra Company nose …
awsome looking twin huey! if they come out with the uh-1n again i’m makin it Canadian[8D]
Outstanding build !!! Im sold on the nose replacement.
Thanks for the post/pics

Great looking build. I have the Panda 'N and CC’s update and weapons sets. I just need to get to building them. Good job on yours.
question #1- is the tail boom on the ASW version longer than the UH-1N.?
question #2- is the civilian 212 tail boom same as military boom or longer.???
Thanks for straightening me out on this detail (in advance)!
torq
The tail boom is the same on both.
I believe the airframes are the same on both as well.
well you can always use the Dragon Helo crew it has four figures which was the normal crew numbers on a Huey. Though I don’t have a clue when the equipment in the set was phased out of the military so you can probably do the UH-1N in any time during the 80’s.
another “in the works”
experimental bash.
Hmmm, interesting. Why are you combining what looks like the 1/32 Revell UH-1H and the 1/35 Panda UH-1N kits? Both are fine on their own. I don’t see the advantage to bashing them together.
