Lovely kit picked it up couple years back now. It was only bout 29 pound but then it never had figures with mine. Just shows how expensive resin figures can get.
Floyd Werner from Werner Wings was the consultant for the Kitty Hawks Helo models. Check out his site , nice Helicopters decals and resin parts. I have the Kitty Hawk UH-1D coming from China $45 including postage to the US. 😁 Hope you have a great /safe weekend, Nigel ! Cheers, Tony
Nice little model. Would make a nice, small diorama of a maint. crew servicing the engine. A lot of potential for super detailing the engine and engine compartment. Thanks Nige!
Beautiful kit. Technically, the seemingly confusing "with figures" and "crew not included" is correct. The figures are regarded as "passengers" and not related in any way to the helo's crew (pilot and ground crew) who operate the aircraft. However I readily admit it could have been better expressed and wouldn't then have required to me sound like a pedantic git. Great to see/hear you back in fine form.
Nice little kit. Its a shame that its a bit vague in the instructions regarding the weapon mount bar vs the outer hanging seat bars. Some modellers may end up fitting the weapon bar mount and then find its the wrong part if they want to build the version with figures. I would want to build one bristling with guns and Hellfires.
@@NigelsModellingBench May I ask how much you paying? Scalemates has a company in Ukraine that ships worldwide. www.hobby.dn.ua/en/product_info.php?products_id=86396¤cy=EUR. I checked the price and it comes out at about £63 including delivery for the one without figures.
Love this kit, built 3 of them on a commission build for a Colonel at SOCOM. Built 1 for a Somolia Veteran who flew them.

Mr Surfacer even gets into your reviews :)
Lol!!
As said on another video of yours, KH does well with their heli kits, but hit and miss for their fixed wing models.

Yeah, me too. I've ordered another without figures from China via Ebay.. might do a simple video build?

@@Andy.Gledhill.Models. I was my local hobby shop yesterday in a Dallas suburb and the had the one with figures for $129.
@@stevemathison6385 That's expensive. Equates to about £94. How you didn't blow your money on a kit that should cost less than £70.
Well lets hope hobbyboss/trumpeter also bought kittyhawk just like they did with panda hobby
Not for sale...possibly selling their molds. Talked to a friend who was on their marketing team....not selling the company, only assets.
