Hi Gang!

Thanks! [:D]

Troy,
Helicopter is an Agusta A 109. Think I saw a kit in 1/72 by Revell Germany in South African markings. The British captured a couple from the Argentine’s during the Falklands and liked them so much, they took them home and used them. I have seen the kit in one of my local stores several months ago. Probably can find it from Great Models or Squadron.

Troy,

Funny you mention that, we were just talking about Reign of Fire over dinner tonight. Yeah, it was an A109. I am waiting for a 1/35th kit of the 109 so I can build one of the new MH-68 Stingrays. Sweet bird!

Thanks guys!

Here is a cool A-109 pic.

Yup…a bird like that 1/72 is just to small of a model kit, 1/35 would be cool or 1/32, 1/24 etc etc [:p]

Cool film too!

Didn’t Panda include the A-109 in their list of new releases in 1/35th scale? You know, the ones they’ll never get too!
