Nope not the Guns a GO GO but maybe a later version?..If they were smart they would produce the decals for Easy money, Birth control and the rest!
BUT!
While a buddy and I were at our local Hobby Shop today drooling over the new MRC 1/12th scale Mercury Capsule kit the owner looked up the Trumpeter Chinook kit in his distributor’s line up and there it was! the Trumpeter 1/35 CH47 Chinook helicopter TBA…Now you pretty much now that already…
BUT!
He said that Trumpeter has avoided advertising future releasse due to the compition always producing the same kit for ten or twenty bucks less.
Soooo…he thinks that because its on the TBA list its probably 3 to 6 months out at the latest! and the fact that its there means its in the bag! OH BOY!!!
If the 1/12 Mercury kit is news to you… here is a link…This is one awesome kit! it’s almost two feer tall when assembled with a very nice and detailed astronaut modeled in vinyl.

Jon …is a man of many words! [:D]
YIPEEEEEEEEE! Im drooling in anticipation!
Should be great if it comes out. BUt then again, their KV-1 tank has been in their catalogs for a couple of years now, and still no kit, so I wouldn’t hold my breath.
Also, as to the cometition releasing the same kit…don’t know where that one came from either. Outside of some notable exceptions, most of Trumpeters recent releases in all fields including shipping, helicopters, aircraft and armor have been quite unique and not brought out by other companies…
If they make it, we will buy…guess I better start saving up all the loose change I can find for this one…
Yeah I know this puppy is going to be 90.00 to 125.00 if not more…I’m thinking that there must be more plastic compared to the Hind in 1/35??
Thanks Troy!! [:D]
I’ve already got my pennies saved, I’m just waiting on it now! It stands to reason that someone will produce this kit at some point, and it really doesn’t matter WHO that will be, but whomever it finally turns out to be, they’ll reap a harvest that has long since been ready for picking!
When/If it finally does hit the shelves, we could always wait for Hobby Lobby to have one of their half-off sales!! [:0] [;)]
Take care,
Frank
PS: What some enterprising decal manufacturer should do at this point (as Troy eluded to), is produce a 1/35 decal sheet/s with a variety of accurate CH-47 applications… hint hint hint [:)]
Well put Hooker!
I just can’t wait!
thump thump thump thump thump thump thump!!! [:p]
NO!! They can’t release it yet!!
I haven’t finished my 1/48th hook yet, and at the rate i’m going, i never will. I’ve spent the last 2 months on just the upper pylon alone and it’s still not right. If they release it, then i’ll have to toss it in a box and start super-detailing the 1/35th.
My head hurts just thinking about it.
Okay, Jeff. Breathe easy. Relax. Take slow deep breaths. It will all be just fine!!!
Whoopee!!! At least it’s in print now… another step closer, but I have a good feeling about this one! [:)]
Thanks for the info Troy!
Take care,
Frank
No problem Hooker!
Have a good Holiday old Thumper!
YEEEEE HAW!!! [swg] This is one Happy Hook fan!! The ones in Panda’s line up is iffy ! Trumpeter on the other hand is a differant story!!! They’ve came through with there helo kits in the past and I am very sure the 1/35 Hook will be no exception. The Trumpeter kit will be better in detales any way!! I hope they go all out and do the ACH-47A GO GO Bird, The CH-47 A ,B,C,D and the MH-47E/G and show Panda how stuppid they were to pass on a golden oppertunity like this. I wonder what Cobra Co. has up there sleeves for detales??? It’s been a long road for us but I think we are going to provell after all!![;)]
You said it there Marke!
With trumpeter’s kits will we need photo etch and resin parts?..YES!.. why not!?
I just can’t wait!
I hope you all had a good Holiday!?
