not really.
I aim on attack helicopter most and some military helicopter.
but I did aim one rescue helicopter too.

I feel your pain! was so tempted to subscribe to the choppers but really better not i felt..

my next one prob is Bell UH1.

Cant wait to do an Arnie impression in Predator "GET TO DA CHAPPPAAARRR" once i assemble it.

Wow, more issues coming in! That's good! Still havent got time to go get issue 4 yet tho haha.

But seeing the helicopters they have, it's just such a pity the Hind and Ka-50 is given as a free gift. Would be nice to get a Magazine copy of those two helis together with the collection.

Am personally a fan of the whole Soviet vs US thing!

hehe... that's called marketing! 'wise nobody wanna subscribe ma. but i know what you mean... the free gifts should also come with their corresponding magazines. with the fac it was different coz the free gifts were from a different collection, but with the helicopter collection, the free gifts should've come with their magazines.

my first face to face encounter with the huey was at the ms saigon musical

anyway, if you get a few, then you could do a diorama on a saigon dz ala we were soldiers.

I've decided not to assemble the rotors to save some display space. But still not enough space to accommodate all the models that I have. Some of them ended up being stored in boxes for now.

that thought did occur to me too... but without the rotors, the choppers look emasculated. the cobra with its double bladed rotor is the easiest to display. at the moment i had to rearrange (read: squeeze) all my fac's to make way for the choppers. they're really really huge...

Got the Apache few days ago, not as impressed as the first issue, black hawk

colin98, care to share where you got the apache from? many in this thread looking for the apache.

Got one on 7E at Subang Jaya.

question: why not all 7e carry the series? space constraint?

Probably sold off the quota.
Mine one have a label "To be returned by 30th June".

The local 7E Puchong here didnt have any of the Helicopter Magazine at all, till about 2 weeks ago 1 issue 3 came. The sole issue 3 is still there i believe. I think it's due to complications in distribution which ultimately led to this.

Oh, and i finally got an Apache! Got it from a magazine store in Midvalley called NZ (near Rotiboy, i believe a forumer here got it there too). Was the last one, go figure!

exactly. tiba tiba u will see issue #3 appear... then silence. later it'll probably be issue #6. i gave up on 7e ages ago... but the retail bookstores were hapless too (as i suppose it was an allscript distribution issue rather than the bookstore issue).

yups... i think it was judge-the who spotted the apache at mv. last issue but hopefully without issues.

Was abit skeptical about getting it at first because the rotors and the Longbow radar was all over the packaging. Asked the shopkeeper if it's alright if i open the plastic bag wrapping the mag to get a clearer look of the model inside the box, he said no. So i used abit of kung fu to shake it here and there to ensure all the parts are inside in good condition. Just got it fixed, and it's perfect fit, didnt even need glue for the rotors

Btw, my issue 2 back then came with only 4 instead of 5 rotors. Took it back to Popular to exchange, and was told they normally send the defective ones back to Allscript. Wonder what they do with it at Allscript haha

Spotted one Apache at MPH Subang Parade.

There are a lot I found at Popular IPC, my usual weekend hangout place...saw 2 full boxes there with Apache last Saturday.

oh ya... ipc/the curve used to be my favourite hunting ground. there's popular at ipc and mph & borders at the curve. happy hunting!

already arrived issue 9 and 10? can someone confirm?
