Today i recieved my AH-6Js in the mail. Now i'd like to see the Vietnam version released soon. Some online hobby stores are taking pre-orders. But til then we'll have wait.

Not sure what you are talking about. There are plenty of 1/35 scale Huey kits. The MRC/Academy UH-1Cs are still available. The Panda UH-1D is easily available as well. Also, the Revell UH-1H (although it is 1/32 scale, still one of the best out there) is still out there. Revell just re-released thier Vietnam AH-1G in 1/32 scale with upgraded parts too. Cobra Company makes upgrade and accessory sets for all these too.

What i ment by the nam version was the Bell OH-6A Cayuse or Loaches. I'd like to see them out again.

Mother,
Sorry to highjack your thread. I was replying to ShermieRules' question about Vietnam era Hueys. Hope the OH-6A model comes back out soon too. Great Models shows them on pre-order status. Lets hope. The next Holy Grail of Helo models?

I'd also really like to see the OH-6 brought back! i needed one of them a while back, personally i dont see why they simply stop making a popular kit....as soon as its gone we all complain, so why havent the company's realized this?
cheers
