OK … Jon asked about the real thing … now, what’s your favorite helicopter kit and why? In each scale? Civil and Military …
Mine’s the 1/35 Black Hawk series. I’m partial to the subject and the detail and quality is exceptional. If you’ve got the room to display 'em, you can’t beat the 1/35th scale kits.

I like Academy’s 1/35 AH-60L DAP best. It has good details and with some aftermarket kit it looks great.
I agree on the scale thing … they’re great but you need space.
I sure would like to see a KA-50 Kamov in 1/35!
I’m also a fan of the Academy 1/35 Hawk series. I also like the DML 1/35 H-500 kits (AH-6J, etc…) and I wish they would wake up and start producing them again. Especially considering the various models of the H-500/530 that are out there real world.
Now you’re all gonna think I’m batty, but I’m fond of the Italeri H-21 series especially the H-21C gunship. Their flying banana has some pretty dang good detail considering the manufacturer and the scale (1/72).
