Boeing H-47 Chinook

Patrick Hagelstein Just like this one!

Bart Meeldijk Cool! Ik ga aan dezelfde beginnen

Bart Meeldijk Als je nog goeie ideeën hebt voor decals...

Patrick Hagelstein https://www.scalemates.com/kits/101730-italeri-2672-ch-47d-chinook
Euh... Deze! Deze zijn wel nog van de tijd dat de titels hoog op de romp zaten.

Jasper Breur Ik ben benieuwd naar die van jou Bart, ik moet eerst nog een Chinook op de kop tikken Wat die decals betreft, ik heb echt geen flauw idee. Je zou Luuk Boerman (Dutch Decal) kunnen proberen, ik heb het hem een poos geleden gevraagd en hij zij toen dat een 1:48 Chinook set er wel een keer gaat komen. De decals uit die oude Italeri ga je nergens meer vinden vrees ik...

Bart Meeldijk Haha, heb precies hetzelfde contact gehad! (maar eerlijk: het gaat altijd nogal traag bij DD). Ideaal zou een sheetje zijn, maar dan moet er iemand zijn die extreem goed met photoshop is. Ik ben toevallig bezig met een Deense Lynx MK.90 (1:35) en heb via een Deense bouwer een PDF gekregen met alle decals die hij zelf heeft gemaakt vanaf foto's. Zal wel een megaklus zijn geweest, maar dat is natuurlijk perfect!
Wil uiteraard ook de nieuwe toned-down roundels, die bestaan vooralsnog niet... Hopen da Luuk ze snel op de markt brengt! (Let wel op: die nieuwe uitgave van Italeri heeft alleen de stompe neus, ik heb er eentje opgestuurd gekregen vd customer service: shop.italeri.com)

Jasper Breur Ik heb zelf ook geprobeerd om een setje te maken, maar dat is echt een enorme klus. Vooral het vinden van goede foto's van alle stencils is erg lastig, en dan alles nog op schaal krijgen. Ik heb al wel 2 neuzen voor de Nederlandse versie liggen van de Italeri costumer service, nu alleen nog de Chinook zelf.

Florian H. Ah dann warst du derjenige der mich bei ebay überboten hat

Patrick Hagelstein Cool! One to follow closely!

Xander Jansen Who can help me with the nose section of this kit? I'm looking for the more pointy nose as the Dutch using them. Thanks

Florian H.

Andy W. Hi Flo. Alles fit bei dir? Was macht die Kunst?

Florian H. Moin Andy. Jo alles soweit tutti. Modellbauerisch hab ich die Merlin in 48 fertig, muss nur noch die Bilder hier im Album hochladen aber ansonsten eher schleppend und bei dir?

Andy W. Bin aktuell mehr im Maßstab 1:35 unterwegs, siehe Abrams und Bradley. Schleppend trifft es bei mir sonst aber auch ganz gut. Sag mal, was ist denn im WMF so los. Die lange Downzeit?

Florian H. Es ist wieder online seit knapp 2 Wochen

Andy W. Hab ich mitbekommen. Gab ja wilde Spekulationen über den Grund. Naja, jetzt läufts ja wieder.

Florian H. Der Grund ist auch erklärt

Robertas Vasiliauskas Unfortunately, wheels not in 1/72 scale. Real they is lesser .

ice They are too big?

Robertas Vasiliauskas Not, are to small.

Mohammad Adl Thanks Arash

M.Julian Marles Awesome!!!!

Mohammad Adl Thanks M.Julian

Dirk Denker Excellent work! well done

Dimitri Sambanis An excellent work again!

Christian W This is awesome! Never thought that this is a kit by Revell. The interior looks fantastic!

Clifford Keesler Absouatley stunning Chinook.

Mohammad Adl Thanks Dirk Thanks Dimitri Thanks Clifford Thanks Christian

Dave Morris Please visit the associated album for comments, updates & pictures for this project.

Ekki Watching.

Xander Jansen Anyone??

Ekki Watching.

Patrick Hagelstein I'll be looking into this build. Enjoy!

Andy W. Thanks Hagel, but at this Moment i'm working on an 1:48 Rescuehawk from Skunkmodels. i just had a little Time and thought i can open up some Projects, wich will be build in the, hopefully, not so far Future. But you will be in the first Row when i start this Kit.
Greets, Andy

Patrick Hagelstein Same here! I have the same kit (well actualy the Italeri boxing) and am planning on building it as a Canadian CH-147F. Also something for the, hopefully near, future...

Andy W. Oh i see. Then we can look over the others Shoulder, when the Time has come

Patrick Hagelstein Cool! Let's do that!

Choppa Nutta nice, but one thing though, twin rotors like this never ever overlap or even close to it, the intermesh evenly, equispaced as it were, like cogs

John E Just an amazing build. I have never seen this kit look so good!

soheil moghisi Very nice.

Ulf Petersen Way cool, Jeroen!

Bart Meeldijk Great work!

Stephan Ryll Wonderful

Wesley De Braekeleir prachtig! vooral het interieur is subliem!

David Thor What a beauty!

Christian Keller Absolut hammermässiges Diorama Gratuliere :-D

Frank Krause Hehe, you can't always choose a nice place to land:

Youtube Video

Burkhard D I knew someone would come up with that particular video

Dirk Heyer Very skilful work!
A lot of nice little gimmicks are included!
Amazing!

Ludovic Wow. Just amazing!

Holger Kranich I can watch it again and again!

Christian Ristits Wahnsinns Arbeit, Gratuliere!

Spanjaard very nice diorama.

Kevin Farrell Mario,
I had the pleasure of scrolling through some beautiful work before I arrived here. You are a master of the craft!

Do you by any chance still have the instruction sheets for the ACH-47A? One of the grandkids grabbed hold of the rotors and snapped them off. I can get replacements, but Italeri needs the sprue/position #'s. If I can get a scan of the assembly steps, that will give us everything we need. I'm going to have to replace the entire rotor assemblies (fore & aft). Without the replacements, I will have to rebuild the entire kit and the prices are sky-high.
Thanks for your help!
Kevin Farrell

Stuart Ramage Kevin, Have a look at this...

super-hobby.com/products/ACH-47A-Armed-Chinook.html

You can make out the numbers if you squint

-Stuart.

Kevin Farrell Hi Stuart,

Thank you for your help. After reassessing the damage, I'm going to toss it in the boneyard and start over with a new kit. Frankly, it wasn't one of my better efforts and I'm glad to have an excuse for a replacement.

Thank you again for your help.

Kevin

Stefan Fraundorfer Great Chinook. You did an excellent paint-job an a very well weathering.

Christian Bruer Agree and same question

Clifford Keesler I,m watching this one. I used to fly Chinooks. They are a great aircraft.

Klaus Pagano Sorry missed your post.
Thanks Clifford. Since you know them inside out I'll be bugging you with questions!

Michel Huijghe

Eduardo Arguijo nice work, especially the paint job. looks great.

Mohammad Adl Very nice uncle, Well done

Adam Carter is this a new (ish) tool? the panel lines look very crisp for airifx!

Eduardo Arguijo I was thinking just the same thing....

Andreas Lundqvist Nice work mate

uncle chop chop Well if its new tooling then yes i havent seen the old one but this model is very crisp only if i knew back then what i knew now it would look way better

Bill Gilman I believe this is a rebox of the Italeri kit. Looks good, Uncle!

Clifford Keesler Nice Vitor, I have the 1/35 scale one. Hope mine turns out as well as yours.

Luc B tuned in

Tim Vereecke nice nice nice!

Vitor Costa

Clifford Keesler Nice Job Vitor, But it isn't BIG Enough. 1/35?

t50813 nice...!

Vitor Costa Thank you guys, Clifford it's in 1/72

Eend Did you search this website: revell.de/index.php?id=779&L=1 ?

Holger Kranich Very useful link, thanks for sharing, Eend!

Eend @Holger Kranich: There's more! revell.com/support/instructions.html

This site is easier to search since all the manuals are on one page, and not 10+ like on the Revell.de site

Holger Kranich Way cool! Thanks!

Gary Edwards Thanks...I already had gone through that website. It is really handy, but it doesn't have the Chinook. Anyone???

Bill Gilman I noticed something odd...the US Army Chinook is kit 04413, it's very clear on the box art. But in the instructions lists, kit 04413 is a Ka-58. I've not known Revell to recycle kit numbers. Strange.

Bill Gilman For what it's worth, I found one forum posting on-line that stated the Revell Chinook kit 04413 is a re-pop of the old Matchbox kit (if true, the Scalemates entry is wrong as it shows it as a re-box of Revell "new tool" 04419). You could try searching for Matchbox instructions. Another thought is that 04413 could be a re-box of the Italeri kit (my preference), as Revell do that often. Also, didn't Airfix re-box the Italeri kit too?

Gary Edwards Thanks Bill. I'll look around at other Mfg's to see if it is a rebox. The plastic has 'Made in ...... ', the country is blobbed out, so I can't tell if it's England, Italy, or where. I have a Trumpeter CH-47A kit, and even though there isn't much external difference between that and the D, I'd still like to get the basic instructions along with the paint scheme and decal placement. Anyway, again, thanks for the tip.

Gary Edwards Well, it is a rebox of the Matchbox kit. I forgot; I have the kit. All of the parts are exactly the same (except the matchbox has the different colors of plastic). I even noticed on the inside of the fuselage 'Matchbox' on both. I guess that settles the instruction issue since I have them. The markings can't be that hard to figure out. Thanks everyone for the input.

Bill Gilman Good, we solved that. Now we need to figure out the mystery of the duplicate kit numbers. I had a look at the box art for the Ka 58 and it indeed says 04413.

uncle chop chop small, easy but grate detail so ill start it tomorrow and see what i can do, it comes with 3 decal options, i will do ''Bravo November'' 18th Squadron Royal Air Force, ''Operation Corporate'', Falkland Island, South Atlantic, May-June 1982. YEA BOI!!

uncle chop chop i even have a small matchbox army tank to scale to fit in the cargo era hahaha

babak chalangi i really love this one

Colin Burgess Hi Vitor. Great look model and nice to see an attempt at an early version, when everyone is doing late models.
I love the finish, excellent.

Colin

Luc B nice work Greg!

Greg Moss Thanks mate!

Since these photos were taken I have also painted the rubber seals around the windows and made a few other improvements.

Fred Zayas How does it compare to the Italeri kits?

Tim Vereecke It is a rebox from the Italeri kit!

Fred Zayas Ahaaa good to know. Thanks. No need to buy it then.

Augie If you mean the real thing.. IIRC it was an overnight job.. does make you wonder if it was beer fueled...

Urban Gardini Such a wonderful work of art.

Frank Krause Fortunately mine is a Vietnam version, so I don't need to try this camo in 1:35...

CH-47A Chinook (Trumpeter 05104, 1:35)

Augie lol in 1:35 it would look fantastic

Frank Krause So I've got to get this one? CH-47D Chinook (Trumpeter 05105, 1:35)

Frank Krause Would take years in 1:35 only using a brush...

Augie well frank, actually.. I think the A is closer to our HC.1's than the D is..
and yeah.. like that feather covered hind... years.. but i'm willing to dp the feathered hind if you are willing to do this chinook

Frank Krause Ok, if it has time. For this year I'm booked with other things, but later we can do it...

Augie hehe definatly frank, this year we have our vietnam ones to do... I've been playing with some balsa wood to start on a surfboard..

PatrickNabinger WOW ! Nice camo !

Tim Vereecke excellent work you did so far! great idea and very dynamic diorama!

Austin K Thanks! It's been slow but rewarding for sure. Now they'll mass produce a kit haha...

scalemates hobby plus added
