First I heard of it was today as well. It was posted at both FSM Helo forum and at HeliKit News forum. Seems to have taken everyone by surprise. Looks like it is a Guns-A-Go-Go ACH-47A gunship from Vietnam as well. Great news.

2006 looks to be a great year for helo modelers.

Hi Joe

With all due respect to helo fans... look at that Mitchell too! It could be the Accurate Miniatures kit re-boxed and, if it's like the recent Avenger, it will be at a much lower price!

All the best
