Hai Todd,

Thanks for the advice.

Its a pity that the OH-58D is not available. But hey, the CH-48 does not exist either.

But I guess that with a longbow and a black hawk I have the backbone of the current heli fleet ;-)


But What about that conversion kit for a OH-58D in 1/48 ?

Are you actually making this yourself?

CH-48?? What is that? No such helo. I think you mean a CH-47 Chinook, none available in 1/48.
