Sounds like Night Flight models is delaying the release of their 1/35th MH-53M. Thie site indicates it will be sometime toward the end of this year.

Howdy Porkchop,

I am one of the one's who pre-ordered the Sea Stallion version of the '53......not happy to here this news....but, I've been waiting FOREVER as it is for a 1/35th scale '53, so, I guess a few more month's wait is no better than what I've been used to from the beginning!

Tread.

With any luck at all, the 1/35th scale Chinook due out soon will tide me over........

All three of us are in teh same boat as pre-orders, but like you said Tread, I've waited this long, I can wait a little longer -- it is an MH-53 after all....

Dave: Ask for a K5 or andrea U-boat -- those are good gifts.

...Dave, don't listen to porkchop!!! He's obviously trying to make you lose your mind!( #:-) ) The K5 has more parts than a NASA Space Shuttle!!!!!!

Getting rooked out of a nice helo kit right?....A large helo, right?? Wait a bit longer for the Trumpeter 1/35th scale 'Chinook' due out realllllllllllll soon............at least you'll keep what's left of your sanity.

Tread out.
