Howdy fellas,

Not to 'mutate' the subject, but, on the same note whatever happened to the 1/35th scale CH-53 series of helos so ballyhooed for soooooooooo long over at Night Flight Models??

I posted a kinda of 'what's-going-on-over-there' post last year and received a scathing response from one of the principles about this and that...................

still no '53.

Ok guys, just looking on PMMS, panda claims the CH-47 Vietnam version is going to be released in June,now, there are only 11 more days of June left, so i think they might have some explaining to do, to me especially!
i just hope they deliver what they promised

If they do get it out, it will make for a stunning display, next to the Trumpeter Hind, A-10, Su-27, etc... and the Panda 1/32 B-17!!

As much as I would love the folks at Panda to paint me the 'fool'.......I hold no hopes of being surprised in the next 11 days......

pity tho.....
