i am a helicopter junkie with the Vietnam-era choppers being my faves.
AH-1G, UH-1D, CH-47, OH-6... i like modern ones, too. at TRU there is a line of diecast helicopters (i posted a link to just one- a Bell 412 Huey) under the Fast Lane label. Fast Lane1:48 Scale Bell 412 Air Ranger Copter - New Ray Toys - Toys "R" Us Mostly, they are about 1:48 scale (they vary between 10- 16 inches) which is nice and they are reasonably detailed. I kinda cleaned them out (got 1 of each) online after accidentally getting the wrong for a gift. went to ebay and found a few more i like, but i gotta wait till after i pay some last minute bills. These others are under different labels, but still made by the same company, New Ray. Best of all, they run about $10 or so in-store, more for online. i am setting my sights on a UH-60 medevac, CH-47, and a Navy Sea King. with the quality i have seen with my first few helos, if New Ray would make similar, 1:48 diecast jets- F-14, F-16, F-15, etc, I would put money down on more of these toys. i like these because i get sturdy metal models without the work. anyone else have these or even the airplanes? or collect the smaller, inexpensive diecast & plastic aircraft off the pegs (near the hot wheels and matchbox cars)?
