None that I have ever seen, at least as pre-built. There may be some kits out there (maybe Trumpeter?), but I don't know for sure. Most seem to be 1/48, which seems to be a pretty popular and common scale for helicopters.

There's a bunch of 1:48 kits, pre-assembled and un-assembled. Those are the largest scale I've seen, besides the few helos in 1:18 and 1:6

I'd love to see some 1:32 helos and jets (besides the 21C ME 262). It's always bugged me, for instance, that FOV makes cool 1:32 modern armor, but their modern aircraft are 1:48 and 1:72. Make a 1:32 Black Hawk and I'll snap up a few. But not for me in 1:48.

Walmart used to carry a 1/32 diecast Marine Huey under their Motorworks brand. Came in a red box. I have one I picked up on clearance, and I quite like it. Sorry, but I don't currently have picture ability.
I just checked mine and it doesn't list the manufacturer, but just the everpresent "Made in China"

Here... someone is selling one like mine.

By the way, before you get excited, only the Huey was 1/32. The other were, I believe, 1/48 or something, but not 1/32

Sigh...

I don't do Ebay anymore.

Too many scams and rip-off artists there.

It really bugs me that nobody does 1:32 helicopters, but they do the vehicles and the soldiers? Ever try fitting a 1:32 soldier into a 1:48 helicopter?

Come on Unimax!!

Those were all available (Hog/Cobra/Apache) under the "Motor Works" boxed line (previously under another name which escapes me right now) and cost $14.99 when I had purchased them as well as 48th AC (Tomcat/Hornet/P51/P38). The nicest of the bunch were all three helos, the Tomcat and Hornet, and with a little detailing, make nice display pieces.

I found the three helicopters that you guys are referring to.

The manufacturer is Toy Zone.

But, some sites have them listed as 1:32 helicopters. Some have them listed as 1:40 helicopters.

Is there much of a difference in scale percentage?

Can't speak to the others, but the Huey seems pretty accurate.

Those are one in the same (Toy Zone...also boxed under the Motor Works/Walmart) and the boxes do list them as being 1:40 and if memory serves me correct, someone on a different forum did a scale check and it was pretty accurate.

The boxes listed the Huey as 1/32, and so does the enclosed stand. The others were given a different scale on both box and stands. I guess they were 1/40. But the Huey is pretty accurate 1/32.

Looks like I found some 1:32 or close to it helicopters then.

Now I just need to find some Blackhawks and Little Birds and maybe a Warrior or two, and that will complete my modern helicopter fleet.

Thanks guys!
