Trumpeter is showing a few new 1/35 helos in their 2025 Catalog.
They include a UH-1Y Venom USMC helo. We will see which comes out first and which is better, Academy or Trumpeter.
And two versions of the Russian KA-52 Alligator attack helo.
I hope these come along soon.

I’ll have the Kamov’s for sure.
Also the single seat version would be nice

They’d have to be new moulds as, to the best of my knowledge, no one else has done these in 1/35.

Except the heads would the crew from DEF model be right for UH1Y ?

Yes, they are wearing USMC flight suits w/flotation collars.
Reedoak makes Navy/USMC helo pilot helmets too. Just add a couple Hornet heads and you would be set.
Also, they do full Navy/Marine helo pilots as well. They are designed for Sea Hawks, but could be made to fit in a UH-1Y.

Oh man. So keen to see the 1/35 Ka-52.
As for the UH-1Y, it’s almost a given that Academy’s offering will be very good - same designer has been working on it as the person behind Academy’s AH-1Z. The cockpit details were a bit off on that but the exterior is beautiful.
