Opening the box you find the usual Battlefront plastic blister set-up. Everything is nicely packed and protected.
Tipping out the contents (and checking all the bits are in there - you all know what I mean) you will find all the above items including two 15mm door gunners, a choice of plastic in flight rotors or metal rotors, a plastic flight stand and a couple of magnets to attach the chopper to the flight stand. The instructions look clear and concise. No decals in the pack. You will note the plastic bits look like they are made of wood. But their not. It's a protective covering over the plastic.
Overall a great model. It's really well made. The hull is resin and the little fiddly parts are metal. Detail is superb. 2 thumbs up Battlefront and Wargames Illustrated.
A special message to Dom at Dom Decals. I need 15mm Royal Australian Airforce decals. PLEAAAAAAASE!

Very nice, ive been considering these too, nice to see one "out of the box".
The model looks really good, bugger, so many projects, so little time......
Cheers

Thanks Paul, nice review of your treasure.
Can't you paint on the markings yourself?

You are testing my resolve, sir. I had "decided" to skip the battlefront Vietnam expansion due to time and budget constraints (my wife sets an annual gaming budget, oh the horror). But after seeing one of the Huey's unboxed I'm wavering.
You can't wait guys. Their a limited edition run. Once their gone, their gone.
Helen, painting RAAF markings in 15mm would be way too tough.

Hang on, where did you hear that?
Limited edition....
I really will have to get some then...
Steve, Battlefront have said they will continue as long as people vote with their money. If sales drop off they will disappear.
Cheers
Paul
I was wondering what these guys would look like. Thanks for the review Beccas.
