hi All,
Just seen the new Revell 1/48 Chinook in the local model shop. Has anyone made one yet, is it a good choice, as at £32.99 i'd like to be sure.
Thanks,
Rodders.

I build the Italeri kit. It is quite nice. The cockpit is a little basic and could do with some improvement. However, I build mine straight from the box and I am quite happy with it.

If you want a beast of big Chinook - go for it!
