And I hope that the panels can be built closed and its not one of those "you will build it the way we say" kits.

Stood next to one some years back and was surprised at just how large it is for a dedicated two seater!! Would be interested in building one I have to say.

I have to admit to wishing they did a decent version of the Westland Wasp. I know the do a conversion, Scout to Wasp but when you consider the numbers of Wasps built.

If they done a wasp in 35th or 32nd, I'd probably buy it!

Yup, I think 1/72 for a helo the size of the Wasp would be be mega fiddly!!! Also hope they would include a full kit, flotation gear, torpedo, DC and missile options etc. For a small chopper they did carry a vast variety of payloads.

It says on the box art that it’s in cooperation with Amusing Hobby, so I would expect it to be I have the Revell kit unbuilt in my stash somewhere, never did get round to it …

Doug, you'd have to buy multiple kits, at least you'd be able to cover all options!

I may just have to start another Wasp Campaign!!!
I commented to the pilot of the display Wasp - Xray Tango, (Terry Martin), regards there was nothing written regards the Wasp. He approached Larry Jeram Croft, (Author and ex Wasp/Lynx/Sea King pilot). Together we hatched a plot. End result was a collaboration from ex maintainers, aircrew knitted together by Larry and produced - (Roll of Drums). The Wasp, an Operational and Retirement History
So - I may have a mission!!!
