Hi all, does anyone here know if the Academy 1/48th UH-1D is a new release or just a repop of the Italeri kit. Thanks

Disregard the last post.....just saw it on Ebay....very interesting....I will look into it.

Comes with PE and resin part(s).

Hopefully new and with M23 weapons sub-systems mount and M60s.

Cheers,
Joe

Looks like the Academy sprues are identical to the Italeri ones.

Yes, confirmed....I have made a comparison of sprue shots of this and an Italeri that I have and they are the same kit....just added some PE and resin.

Don't know yet if any weapons package is included.....hopefully yes.

Cheers,
Joe
