We as scale modelers live in a glorious time! A 1:35th Tarhe is beyond my wildest fantasies. Iâm gonna have to knock out a wall in the back room of the house to make room for my dio to grow! AND a 1:35 Cobra too? Are you kidding me? Seems like all thatâs left for the 'Nam era is a D7 Cat with a Rome Plow and Crush Cage! ICM I love you man!
Well there is the LeTourneau âTree Crusherâ . . . in your dreams big boy!
I really like the new 1/35 helicopter line. If ICM really wants to sell kits, I suggest a whole line of log-bodied Hueys; UH-1D, UH-1H, UH-1N, and UH-1Y. These are some of the most sought after kits as there is not a good one in 1/35 at all. The old Panda/Dragon UH-1D/H and UH-1N are pretty bad as they are scaled-up copies of mediocre 1/48 kits.
For the CH-54 make room in your shelf, it will be roughly 2 feet by 2 feet. Even the old Revell 1/72 scale kit was impressive. I did a quick google search and found a lot of loads, from hospital module to M54 truck to today fire fighting container.
I love the 1/35 Cobra, will get some as soon as it becomes available.
Hopefully they will do a 1/35 Apache as wel in the future, that kit would definitely sell.
The Tarhe while superb is a bit too big for my liking.
I wonder what the odds are that a large-scale CH-53 could be in our future now that ICM is releasing the Tarhe? We already have a Chinook, so large helos are definitely sellingâŚ
Wow! Wouldnât that be something in 1:35? If I was a bold enough modeller - and Iâm not - Iâd like to think Iâd have a go at something like this. Wow - again!
Hopefully the blade fold will be an option in the kit. If not, we could see if our own Matt Leese could design the folding hinges like he did for the old Academy 1/35 MH-60S kit a few years ago.
