Found this and thought it pretty handy and cost effective for those wanting to get some inexpensive Chinooks in their 15mm modern games. link Hope you find it helpful! |

A 15mm Chinook would have to be large enough to carry over 35 15mm castings. Much too large to be cost effective buying. Scratch built from cardboard? |

Never knew about there being an RC model in scale, thanks for sharing. |

there is a new 1/100th scale diecast Chinook due out in april, should be around £10.00 GBPea |

not to nitpick but Chinooks have 3 bladed rotors |

I dunno Rudy. 5 bucks is pretty cost effective! I'd just put a clear disk on instead of the rotor blades. |

I suggest stiff clear plastic for the rotors. Cut an appropriate circle and paint in the rotors plus speed lines |

53Punisher… How rough to 1/100 scale is the body? Little off or noticeably way off? DS… He mentioned the rotor thing in the blog article. Shaun… Yeah man, who/where from? Dragon… Agreed. Would be what I would use as well when it was in flight. Grimm |

Grimm, sorry, don't know first hand. I only came across the article while searching for 15mm parts and thought it would be useful for someone to use. |

Shaun, any chance they will be available at Salute? |
shaun from s and s models | 26 Mar 2016 12:10 p.m. PST |
I doubt it, not had a release date, and we will not be stocking them ourselves. |

Thank you, will wait and see |
