i've been looking at pics of the new pte helicopter and it's not as underscale as i first thought. The real Dauphin has a fuselage length of about 36 feet, so that translates to a model of 24 inches. From looking at the pics i'd say the pte version is about 21-22 inches; so it's not too bad scale wise. Probably 1/19 or 1/20. Given that there's zero chance of ever seeing it again in this scale i think it's worth getting. I'll probably repaint it as a coast guard helicopter.

Anybody know if and/or when these are coming to the US? Good place on-line to order?

Thanks!

My thoughts exactly..... If anyone in NZ or Australia has located the Rocket Helo, please let us know. If you would be willing to grab a couple and send them over, I would gladly make it worth your troubles!

I see an MH-65C conversion in my future.

I picked up an SU-27 today to hang in my son's room, having a paint job helps these planes a lot

If any further pics or info is needed on this plane let me know.
USCGSARdog I know the choppers are here so I'll widen my search area soon.

On Hisstank they have a thread that shows a V-22 Osprey from Chap-Mei from the Chap Mei forum:

USCGSARdog I did a recon of 7 stores today and only found 1 helo so thats a keeper but I'll still keep an eye out for you. The fuselage length is 50 cm or 19 and a half inches. I'll put up some pics soon.
C130IM I did find some SU-27's for you so I'll be in touch, I'll be putting some on ebay too.

Dauphins are 36 feet long so that makes it about 1/22 scale then....about the same scale as the PTE blackhawk.

Greetings:

The Dauphin looks good as does the Flanker. The Flanker seems to me like it may be a little too short compared to the actual aircraft, but that's just from looking at the pictures. Too bad the figures are not a little bit better or improved.

Hope they come to the US, both look pretty good for what they are.

That tank looks pretty good actually. Now to compare with my trumpeter Type 96 MBT.

Still looking forward to the IFV!

I hope you're right but if their 1/6 products are any indication many items may never make it to North America. There are items on their website (last updated in 2004!) that still haven't made it here.
