Any more SH-60 Seahawks?

[planejunky]

After tooling for the RAN Seahawk, it seems odd that there have been no more since. :confused: Think it's about time there was some USN versions especially as there are some pretty wild non-anniversary squadron schemes available! :cool

Oh Yessss,put me down for one:)

[planejunky]

So that's only me and my Irish friend interested then? :(

[chally2]

So that's only me and my Irish friend interested then? :(

Mmmmmm ..........go nice with a Century Wings Super Hornet (if they ever do one) and i suppose the Corgi Apollo Sea King would be ok with the Century Cat and Intruder, so yes i would be interested as a couple of different era Air Wings could be cobbled together:)

[Kiwi Dave]

So that's only me and my Irish friend interested then? :(

Oh no...I would buy one of every standard scheme made, and there are lots to choose from. I would obviously like some Gulf War/Iraqi Freedom examples and some of the Taiwanese Thunderhawks are pretty impressive.:)

[shuttle]

Same here, I would love to see a 'DAP' version or the types fitted with skis.

:) Shuttle

[COASTIE75]

Same for me, bring them on, Pave Hawk, Seahawks, the US Presidential one - and skis! Love things you can stick skis on to!:LOL:

[The Defiant Man]

So that's only me and my Irish friend interested then? :(

I think the lack of posts on this thread is pretty indicative as to the size of the market for this model......nothing wrong with the model itself, but it must be one of Corgi's biggest turkeys when it comes to sales figures......

Indeed, not being of the WWII era probably not helping too much either! :rolleyes: ;) Oh well, thankfully I still have good kit building skills with the added bonus that it could be built more accurately than most diecast anyway!

[shuttle]

Considering it is the only decent 1/72 scale version you would have expected it to have sold well in the USA? Then again, the Corgi operation in America doesn't appear to be that good at marketing..... A pity, as Corgi has a good helicoptor track record.

:) Shuttle

[planejunky]

It will be interesting to see if they produce any more next year, but like many here I'm now getting bored with the diecast thing. Used to be great when corgi bought out their six monthly AA catalogue, seems to now just be a fond memory. Now you may have to wait over a year for that model you're wanting, then find it's inaccurate. :(

[cf@ nas whiting field]

This would make for a nice model. Fleet Week Fly-In at NAS Whiting Field--Milton, Florida October 2006. Aircraft was out of San Diego, California I was told.

[cf@ nas whiting field]

Same aircraft--a few more photos.

[sniperUK]

Nice,must store these for future referance.

Great pics CF - thanks for sharing!:cool

That's the kinda stuff I was talking about! It just seems to have dropped off Corgi's radar. :(

Good cos i want a Sandhawk oh and a Somalia one :cool well just more of them :)

[sniperUK]

Old thread I know but how about some of these from NAS Fallon ,"Top Gun" for rotary.

[COASTIE75]

I'm sold. Got a little Top Gun/Adversary theme going anyway, so these would fit in nicely. Is there no chance the DAP will be resurrected?

All the refs are still there but tooling costs for the extras ,and there are a LOT of extras on the DAP,make it unlikely at present unless there are guaranteed sales.Do you think that a stripped down MH-60L in Somalia as in Blackhawk down ,same markings minus the wings ,weapons and refuelling probe would be acceptable? Brings down the costings a bit.

sniper. As one of Corgi's better moulds I'd take any US Navy Seahawk.

[COASTIE75]

As in SUPER 64 etc?

It would be acceptable in as much as it was an iconic aviation moment in history, unfortunately for all the wrong reasons. I can still remember the images on the News of what happened to the crew. :(

However, whilst I fully appreciate the cost/benefit argument, I personally would still like to see the fully tooled up version, its a defining feature of the Blackhawk that it can be configured in that way. Besides, I think Corgi owe me SOME external fuel tanks, since they didnt put them on the USCG version! :rolleyes:

[11SQNLDR]

I have the Aussie Seahawk & USCG Jayhawk - & would definitely buy a USN Seahawk.

[sniperUK]

Pics of the new "Ocean Hawk" up on the FM site, oh dear:( looks like they have not eve touched the casting of the RAN one, the radome, and nose sensors are the same as on that model ,the Radome should not even be fitted!!!!!! As for the colours the top grey looks almost black,even darker than on the pre-pro model , there is very little difference in reality between the greys on the real thing.
This is what it should look like

I'd have no interest in half a model really.. Would love a camo Pavehawk with all it's bits, a bog standard grey USN and a nice colourful Japanese one but not the Dusty Dogs release - bit of a shocker really.

I have the Coast Guard release (and the Hobbyboss kit - for all the bits Corgi left off it).

[von hitchofen]

Oh, well I'm definitely not gonna buy one now ;) :rolleyes: ;)

[QUOTE=lmisbtn;359985]I'd have no interest in half a model really..really.

That would not be half a model but a model of how that aircraft ,"Southern Comfort" was deployed in Somalia on Op Gothic Serpant , a standard MH-60 L ,with mini-guns, no seats in the rear, no attched probe, no EHSS or DAP fitted.

[Sponge Bob]

No interest in this one at all, very boring and inaccurate from what has been said :wacko:

[tsr2]

I never thought I'd say this, maybe the criticism directed at Corgi is justified. I've got this on pre-order. Idiot :mad: I may have to think about my pre-orders for Oct - March now.

[chally2]

Not clever by the looks of it:rolleyes:

I liked the Jayhawk, though it does seem that Corgi are failing to do this mould justice.

[Craig]

Sadly not a lot you can say about this one :( . Poor.

[Colorado549]

Have this on pre-order and on the way via UPS from the Mule. Should be here on Wed. Looks like I shot myself in the foot with this one, d-mn! Doesn't look like anything like the prepro pics FM posted. No more pre-orders for me.

[planejunky]

My lesson was learned a long time ago with regards pre-ordering. ;)

Head Kennel is not pleased, this model was developed ,and I use the word with caution, by someone who was given a contact who works with H-60s for the research. This person was on a short contract with Corgi and is now gone ,it looks like he ignored all advise he was given re this model and did his own thing, I don't think he will be getting any referances in the future.

You have to laugh, but didn't anyone check his work before it went to production, if not then he's not the only one at fault :rolleyes:

The least Corgi should do is cancel this release. If not it shows they do not care about either the collector or their reputation :(

[sniperUK]

I have the feeling he was also in charge of authorising the models in the US :(

:LOL: You could not make it up

I like that one , Is it right ? dont know oh well :D

[Fat Jabba]

I was looking forward to this model but yep it is a bit of a dog's dinner. Just saw the pic's on FM. I did noticed a sign to say the model is limited edition of 500 which to quote ' rare and collectible'...:LOL:

[Colorado549]

Found this picture: http://www.aviationspectator.com/image/ ... copter-205
Am no expert and know this is a SH-60B and the color scheme is different, but looks like what US Corgi was trying to replicate, from the front anyway. Comments please to elucidate the uneducated non-expert novice on the differences between a SH-60B's and F's. Would the model pass as a SH-60B? Thanks.

[cf@ nas whiting field]

Trying to send a few photos but not sure if they downloaded.

[cf@ nas whiting field]

Photos would not download in 30 seconds alloted--sorry.

[sniperUK]

I think this release may have killed or at least put in a deep coma the H-60 casting, thanks a lot US.

How does it work. Are they a franchise of the Hound??

Exactly how it works I am not sure, but I think you may be right about the distribution rights, anyway I think this last lot may have been the straw that broke the camels back .

It has opened my eyes a bit more. I guess its easy to say expand your Horizon (customer base) and the pretty much the one organisation that is supposed to be doing it, cocks it up.

Who needs enemies???

[sniperUK]

This has just arrived, a well executed model that is totally wrong. The good news is the unrequired sensors etc are just tacked in place so they can just pop off ,so with these removed it is a much better representation of the 60F. if I can mask the top grey ,which to me looks like dark sea grey, and repaint wih a lighter colour and add a couple of bits from kits ,it should look ok.

There is no good news about this release :mad:

I'd like to nominate US35906 for the worst diecast release of 2010.
