I would prefer 1/72
I’m looking for a Bell 206 Jet Ranger, 206 L3 Long Ranger, a Bell 412, Bell 214 and Bell 407. Also trying to find a MBB BO105, I know Airfix made the 105 and I’ve seen a few on ebay, anyone else do one?
What is needed to make the Kiowa into a Jet Ranger / Long Ranger or 407? I suppose the 412 could be kit bashed from a 212 but the 214 is much larger so I guess I’m out of luck if nobody makes it.
Also anyone know the “break points” for the UH-1 series into 204, 205 and 212?
Italeri makes a Bell 412 with Canadian (CH-46 Griffon) and Italian markings. (I’m currently working on th e Italian one).
As far as I know UH-1 is the US military designation while 212, 214, 207 etc. are the civilian namings. Besides the weapon systems there is no difference between the two kinds of helos.
Pretty much all the helos you mention are avaialable from someone. Check here at Great Models Webstore, http://www.greatmodels.com/cgi/search.cgi?termscat=Helicopter_Models_1/72 for a full list of 1/72 scale helicopter models they carry. They are listed mostly by their military designations. Hope that helps.
