Revell of Germany is reissuing the MRC/Academy OH-58D in 1/35 scale.
Revell of Germany is reissuing/reboxing the 1/35 MRC/Academy OH-58D with new markings. It comes with two marking options: an overall sand scheme from Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm ('90-'91), and an overall Helo Drab Green scheme from the late '90s in Kosovo.

It is a really nice kit and builds up well. There are a couple update/detail sets for it by both Werner's Wings and Zacto Models. It also comes with two really nice pilots, probably the best in plastic.

03871 - Bell OH-58D Kiowa - 1/35

Please remember, when contacting retailers or manufacturers, to mention that you saw their products highlighted here – on AEROSCALE.

Thanks for posting this Tim. It has some interesting markings. The sand one looks to be based on this OH-58D from Operation Desert Shield/Storm ('90-'91). OH-58D 85-24727, H-Company, 4th Brigade, 3rd Aviation Regiment, 3rd Infantry Division Here is a link to the ROG kit instructions as well. Also of note, during Desert Shield/Storm, OH-58Ds were not armed. They were still used as observation helicopters as part of a hunter/killer team.

The discussion continues on this release at the Armorama Armor/AFV forum. I don't know why I can't get people to post about helos here.

They are a very quiet bunch on Aeroscale [/quote] I come back here periodically looking for discussion on modern helo's and F-16's, F-18's, etc. but don't find much too often. Lol.
