I want a CH-53

I am suprised that none of you guys ever mention 1:18 Helicopters.

Good point! Those that have come out are fantastic!

I really liked BBI's small recon birds ... they are easy to assemble and sturdy toys.

Though other people probably like 'em too, as I've been unsuccessful in buying additional ones on ebay.

No, we've been moaning for a Hind for the longest time. BBI bailed out on us with more choppas. :(

Actually this has been discussed time and again.

This would be a DIFFICULT CUSTOM. At the price this would have to sell for I doubt if I would sell 6 of them. :?

You must have missed the multiple discussions on the blackhawk, pavehawk, little birds, kiowa, and huey. Not to mention all the pickelhaube custom threads for the pavehawk/blackhawk and the huey customs he's done.

Its not going to happen unless BBI comes back, and even then it is a VERY slim chance. Very few modern items are getting released anymore sadly.
I would love a CH 53 as well, but its very big. Probably would cost similar to the modern planes.

BBI's helos were/are excellent. I own every single one of them and they do look awesome.
I hope AG or JSI will do a repaint of 21C's Super Cobra. They are pretty hard to get nowadays.
We still need more new 1/18 aircraft!
