Ok rotorheads, thought I give us scale-modelling helo fans a chance and cast your vote on the most desired 1/48th helicopter, you’d want to see!
If I missed one, just cast your vote as other.
I voted for one, but there are several that I’d like to see that aren’t on the list.

Gots to have the Sea Stallion. It’s intimidating and tough.
Atlas Rooivalk.
Its time for a kit of one.
Long past time for a kit of one.
What?
No Skycrane??
No Sky Crane nor UH-34D! Speaking of Sky Crane, take a look at this 1/48 scratch built baby …

Philippe is a master modeler without question.
Yeah, I’ve been watching that baby over at the helo forum!
Amazing, eh?
One one AH-1 Cobra that is the most famous and yet still not kitted well…The “G” model
Enough with the Apache and give us a G Cobra
A Mil Mi-10 for me please!
CH-53E for me, but I may have to vote about 5 more times, there’s some awesome ones in that list!!
The 'ole Monogram Hind is decent, but I’m spoiled and want something better. [;)]
Fade to Black…
There’s never (to the best of my limited knowledge) been a kit of the Mojave in any scale.
from what I’ve read, it was an important piece of kit early on in Vietnam.
Plus, have you ever seen an uglier contraption?
How about a 1/48th S 58 Seahorse/Seabat/Westland Wessex.
My first few years in the RAF were spent doing deep maintenance on the old Wessex,
Corrosion city! We used to outline the corrosion with chalk, to be dealt with later, one day a very senior officer, on an inspection, asked my Corporal why he’d chalked the word ‘Rust’ next to the outlines. “Can’t spell Corrosion, Sir” came the reply, exit VSO trying not to laugh!

I too, would like to see a 1/48 CH-54 Skycrane, AND/OR a CH-37 Mojave kit. So how come ,other than Revell’s 1/72 scale CH-54, and an old (?) 1/72 scale vacuform kit of the CH-37, no one has made another, of either, in any other scale??!!
HH-3E JOLLY GREEN and the HH-3F PELICAN!!!
C’mon guys. This has got to be the most overlooked yet important Helo.
OK…maybe I’m biased but gimme a break! Anybody else agree? DKMacin? Grant? Gino?
Who cares is it’s biased or not. I agree with Sal; we do need some HH-3 kits. That was an important aircraft
Super Stallion all the way!
Like a UH-1F/P also
I want a Tamyia UH-1V (never happen), CH47D, MI-8/17 and a OH-58D…please. please!!!
CH-53E. Maintenance may be a pain in the butt, but it’s the most impressive piece of vertical lift machine I can think of. I am biased.
Got to go with the -53E. I need Big Iron sitting next to my new -46 on the tarmac of my shelves…and with the V-22 off to the side of the old-timers.
My second choice would be for a Hook, either a MH- ACH- or regular CH-47…Heck, make one kit of the -47 and I can wait for the AM companies to give me what I need for the other variants.
