I like the idea of a 1/35 CH54 but the reality is another thing altogether…,this is gonna’ be a real space eater, what with the rotors n’ all…

I get that. Hoping they expand to the 53, then with the folded rotors part of the problem is solved.

But if I fold the rotors, how am I gonna’ suspend a 1/35 Tamiya PBR underneath it?
Decisions, decisions….

Ok easy……shadow box, either trim the blade on one side or create view ports and trim the blades on all sides like if looking at it from the cargo bay porthole on a supporting helo flying parallel or or……your the lead 54 looking out the rear cockpit window at the trail 54 carrying the PBR.
Your welcome.

They have gone and lost their minds!!! $265 MSRP.
There is not enough plastic in that box to justify that price. The tank guys are getting all sorts of new kits big one too 1/16 and they are less than $150.
No no no no no!!! I wanted this kit and was going to buy a couple to build as fire fighting version. This will never happen and they have lost me a customer. You know what who cares no one will listen to anyone anymore i will just be called a karen.
Ugh Sorry this one made me mad.
Over 2-1/2 feet (760+ mm) long and 2 feet (610+ mm) wide.
Hmmm… Would be a fun build but not sure what I’d do with it once it was finished.

This rates very close to a CH47 from either Sprue Bros or ScaleHobbiest and no free shipping, I knew it would have a high price tag when released but it still stings, ouch. I’ve paid almost that much for much smaller resin kits, it’s a matter of what you’re willing to shell out and how bad do you want it. I’ve wanted a few of Masterpeice Models riverine craft that carry about the same price tag for the last few years but haven’t convinced myself to take the plunge. It could be considered an investment if times got hard and you can find the right buyer that will pay your assembled markup price. Thing is I want one, I’m just gonna have to add about three more feet to an already oversized terrain feature to display it.

$200US, plus postage. A simple ‘no’ from me. Will wait until the hype is over and look for it on sale some where.
