Now I am pretty sure that some people here have been waiting for this… [:D] [:D]
Holy cow! A Guns a go go Hook in 1/48!! SWEET!!! …as far as I know those where the only hooks with rockets and goodies and isn’t it Italeri that did the 1/72 Guns a go go chinooks?
GREAT NEWS!!
Thanks Chief! [tup]
PERFECT, one more 1/2 finished conversion to toss in the garbage can…been working on the old Aurora kit for a few years! Well, at least this one didn’t get finished before a better one came along.
NOXAF…If you are serious I would be willing to buy or trade for what you have done so far…my 1/48 Aurora conversion needs some parts.
Excellent!!! [tup][wow][yeah][:O][:)][}:)][:D][8D][^][party]
Thanks William, that’s great news!
Take care,
Frank
[:D] looks like there is more helos to build[:D] thanks for the link.[:)]
That is great…now let’s hope the do a D model and an MH-47
At last, a 1/48th scale “Hook”(only been waiting 30 years for one) hope more 1/48th scale helo’s to come
Oh, that’s just great! Just when I setup the built-in bookshelf in my new office to accomodate the 1/35 scale 'Hook, Italeri goes and trots this out. 
I would have thought quarter-inch scale would have been a popular scale for a helicopter of this size well before now (Aurora’s 30 year old kit notwithstanding).
Great! My procrastination is finally going to pay off! I won’t have to scratch build on the old Aurora kit after all. I guess this is going to knock the bottom out of the high prices it was fetching on E-bay. First a good “46”, a "53 and a “47” on the way! Too good to be true!
Clear Left!

Wow. This is great news. I’ll take it with a grain of salt, though, until the release date comes closer. You know how some of those release schedules get delayed. But, definitely good news to look forward to! One hopes a full line of later Hook variants will follow…‘D’ model, MH, and who knows, maybe even an Air Force HH someday. Thanks for the heads up, Cheif Owl.
(BTW, off topic and all…but some of those other releases look very good too – is that a new A-10A I see? Or are some of those other kits re-releases or re-boxings??)
WOW!!! Finally after all this time!! Sweet!!!
Now we can have a Hook in 1/35 1/72 1/144 and now 1/48.
It’s good to know that the fans of these scales can now have a Hook in that collection!!
For those who would like to see a 1/48 D and E, I feal good about Italeri doing them too!! When they did there 1/72 line up they started with the GoGo then the D and finally the E. Sounds pretty good to me.
Now, if Trumpeter would only add the GoGo and 47E to there 1/35 line then I would be the happiest HOOKER on planet Earth!!![:D]
Great news for sure!!!
Enjoy!!

This is not good… not good at all. Well… as far as my wife is concerned anyway! She just rolled her eyes when I told her. [:D]
Just tell her it could be booze and women …hehehehehe
That’s one of the reasons my ex let me model, she knew were I was.
Yessiree Bob. Can’t tell you how much us Aussies have been hanging out for a model of the D 'hook.
Now this sounds a lot more reasonable! I think I’m scaling down to 48th guys…
Mainly due to space constraints, but there’s a lot more available in 48th. Since I’m working on the Hasegawa Longbow, I’m convinced that getting back into 48th is the way to go. A 48th Delta Hook would be fantastic!
Jon, Noooo!!! Don’t do it man. You can’t leave 1/35 scale helos. Think of all the accessory parts and the like you have to collect now in 1/48. Not as much stuff out there in 1/48 as far as figures and accessories either.
One of the reasons I will never switch to 1/48 armor.
A 1/48th Hook to go with the upcoming 1/48 Super Stallion? Where do I sign up? That’s going to be one nice looking flightline if/when I can get them built along with my Phrog…Then I’ll need a AH-1Z and the upgraded Huey, the UH-1Y (isn’t it?) in 1/48 (as well as 1/35).
Definitely some of that hazard pay will be going into kits when I hit stateside again. Keep the updates rolling in, gentlemen!
Don’t forget that MV-22 (AV-22 doesn’t count! [;)]), AV-8B and F-35B!
I’m really happy about this release and I hope this means we’ll see other variants (D, MH-) down the line.
However, I’m still waiting on that 1:48 HH-3
