Anyone have a source for 1:100 or 1:144 OH-58 Kiowa helos?

This may be your best bet. In theory you could ask the creator to make it in 1/100. I've done that few times with the guys on shapeways.

Entex had a 1/100 scale (or close) Kiowa available years ago. You may be able to pick one up on EBAY.

There was a toy manufacturer that did a Jetranger on a trailer, the helicopter worked out about 1/100. It needed a bit of work to make it presentable (the windows and windscreen were open so they needed to be filled) but they came out ok. I could look them out and take photos tomorrow is anyone is interested

Maisto makes one that is around 1:87. I picked one up at Walmart a couple of years ago. They change the packaging but they can still be found out there in stores and bargain outlets.

Google says Entex is your option.

Sadly, my other go-to for 1/100 helos, the Deagostini Japan SDF equipment collection, doesn't help here, the Japanese use a unique recon helo.

I thought QRF might, but nope, not on the list. Looks like Entex is your best bet.

I have been working on the Maisto Jet Ranger and it will due in a pinch, as for the Entex OH-58, Its hard to come by, even on Ebay. There was a Chinese company that was using the Entex mold, but I don't think they are available either.

Pretty much all the available models in both scales were mentioned in the replies to your August 2015 question : TMP link ;-)

Basically, the Ace/Hasegawa Bell 206 Jetranger is 1/95 and the Minifigs OH-58 is 1/144.
