Subject: H-34 Model
To: webmaster@popasmoke.com
I located a firm in England which stocks plastic model kits for the H-34
manufactured by Italeri. I ordered one and it arrived today in good
condition. The scale is relatively small (1:72) so the main rotor diameter
is slightly over 9 inches, but the detail is good.
It took about a week to arrive. I opted to have it sent via Royal Mail which
was considerably cheaper than shipment via a UPS type method. It cost me
about $25 in total, but it is the only model kit I have been able to find
for years.
If any popasmoke members are interested, here is the website:

There used to be a 1/48 scale kit (alot bigger than 9") but hasn't been out in years and going ebay prices is around an arm and leg, if they have one at all.
