Ok, jsut saw the blurb about the soon-to-be released Echo in 1/48. That’s going to be a big box. Sure hope they have included all the folds a 53 can make–which will still make for a big kit on the shelf, wow.
Hmm, wonder how long until there’s a conversion to build an MH53-E Sea Dragon . . . ? ( Man, those sponsons would be big resin catings )
Hmm, a C-130 rigged with “buddy” tanker pods for an in-flight refueling dio . . . (be the whole garage, I’m thinking . . . )
