Okay I have been looking around and trying to find a good deal as would anyone else trying to fill a roll, so I have been looking for a UH-48 Chinook in the 15mm scale and no such luck so would it be wrong to use another scale? Looking at going to 1/72 scale would it look to big and if not then I was thinking of using the same scale, for a Blackhawk and Huey. |

Okay I have been looking around for a CH-47 Chinook in the 15mm scale with no such luck so would it be wrong or look to big going on to 1/72 scale or 1/144 scale. Have been thinking of these same scales for Black Hawk and for Huey and well. any and all input is welcomed. |

I would hit my local toys r us to see if there was a die cast toy that would work. I'd try 1/76 for model because it will be a little smaller than a 1/72. |

There is an RC Chinaook in very close to 1/100 scale. Cheap too. link |

There's a Maisto diecast that's about 1/150 scale.
It's a big enough bird that going undersize shouldn't be a big problem. |

15mm is usually 1/100 scale. Try Revell EasyKits and Aoshima's "Battle Rotor" series. Aoshima is OOP, though. |

Echoing 79th PA's post above…
I frequent my local RR train hobby stores for anything from terrain making supplies and tools to buildings, scenery items, vehicles and figures. I found a 1/100 RV that is the splitting image of the Walking Dead vehicle. I also picked up some cars and two single rotor helos to use. Just be careful. not everything in one particular series is the same scale. Look before you leap. |

My local £1.00 GBP/$1/€1 store has an Osprey in 15 mm '-ish scale….just need to remove the friction motor 'thingy' and repaint…….. This guy found a Chinook… link link IMHO 1/72 would be too big……..1/144 is the other way to go |

Another option might be to use 1/100 scale CH-46s, depending on how much of a purest you are. The CH47 is a lot wider, but only 8 feet longer. I see the kits on Ebay most of the time. Sometimes people ask goofy starting bids, but I got mine in the $10 USD-12 range, plus shipping, though usually asking price is around $15.00 USD. |

there is a diecast 1/100th chinook available, can't remember who makes it though. |
| Stepman3 | 26 Jun 2016 6:12 a.m. PST |
I'd look for 1/100th or "ho" scale… |

Armaments In Miniature will be releasing a 1/100 (15mm) CH-47A Chinook within 2-3 weeks. I am doing the final details and the parts as I write this note. |
