That Hind is kit-bashed and resin-casted from the Trumpeter 1:32 Hind, which would probably be more to scale with the Toys R Us Apache or maybe even the Dragonfly. I sure would like to see that Trumpeter model side by side with a GIJOE action figure. If the scale wasn't too off, I think I could customize one of those Trumpeter models to hold 2 figures in the cockpit. Jason |

yep, for realism its great but getting wild bill in and out of it is a pain, plus its so not joe scale i cant use it with anything. it's used in solo shots so you cant tell its so huge. thing i hate the most is i had to make a tiny stand to go under it because the legs have started to sag under its own weight.
i have seen people do that with the trumpeter jets. from what i remember it take some fiddleing to mod the cockpit to get a joe in there but nothing super crazy. it looks great in the end but the price of their models can be up there! |
