new pic up

Huey looks great , but i will have to get me a JU-87 "DRIVE BOMBER" to go along with the P-38, P-40 and F4U "FLIGHTERS".

The only question is when ?

I love the Sdkfz 251 repaint

Is ANY JSI available?

Excellent!! I've been waiting Huey for long long time. I can wait definitely.

if they keep the nose clean and stay with dark colors i might actually get some. i need some cobra choppers i might have to try and customize them paint it black or dark Blue.

I was hoping they would come out with an extended version otherwise known as the UH-1H "Huey 2". Ideal for medical and troop transport ops.

yeah i would prefer that option but i am going to go with beggars can't be choosers on this one. i wish they would make the huey 2 with M60 on the sides like in classic Nam films. i would be all over that but i am giving up on it.

I nned a few Slick Hueys. I've also been wanting to do a few in a Blue Cobra paint job, but will not pay more then cost for them.

Apparently that means the re-release of the 21st Century UH-1 "HeavyHog" with the nose-mounted grenade launcher is kaput.

Also, the new JSI UH-1 has no pilot figures.....and I wish it had machine guns, too.

Also, where's the JSDAF F-104 previously shown?

Dang it.... I could of had a real one. What a shame.

...that is a shame. Guess they had to make room for more refugees.

That Huey has an interesting stars and bars insignia with the yellow and red accents. I like it.

This will be the first JSI release I will likely buy. I only got the silver 21C Air America version and want an OD green one badly. Though maybe the prices will drop considerably on the old Hueys and I can get one finally. I like the Air Cavalry one with the sword insignias on the nose. Though the hog head version is choice too.

I am cautiously optimistic, but price will be a big factor for me.

Now it looks like JSI is releasing the top UH-1 instead of the bottom, previously-announced Huey:

Which probably means they won't be releasing any of them anytime soon, as has been the case with their RAF/AVG (newest) P-40 tentative schemes. Still waiting for those to be released too...

The Huey looks nice. The light blue on the tips of the rockets is a nice realistic touch, but it's just another picture nonetheless. And that is something we don't have a shortage of in 1/18 (pics of much anticipated releases that never came to fruition, I mean). 1/18 is nothing if not a virtual scale these days. Lots of pics of non-existent products that won't ever get produced... at affordable prices.

BTW, keeping in line with JSI's new strategy, the chopper doesn't sport any markings whatsoever. Who knows, maybe they'll include some decals with the pilots? And, of course, there's the usual caveat/disclaimer: "Color scheme and style may vary." Ya betcha!

PS: The Huey in the above pic is South Vietnamese, hence the yellow/red bars in the markings:
