Many thanks for the pics, bro @WingNut . It does look like the Mangusta is better off skipped. Wonder if the plastic content is due to Amercom 'copying' a fully plastic kit and didnt know which part to be die-cast during the conversion.

Just got the Comanche today and guess what?

Mine had the same 3+2 rotor problem as strikermarc!!! Crazy!
Worse still, my rotors couldn't fit into the studs as the rotor fairing was blocking them. Took me hours to correct this two problems and touch up the entire heli. Still don't know how to solve the 'white' glue issue though.

On a side note, the Ka-31 and Mi-28 is a very good model! Both weight and detail is good! Just be careful choosing the Ka-31 as the rear wheel struts can be assembled really poorly.

Looks like some cockpit display biggrin.gif

But on a more serious note, i can't seem to locate it on my helis. Then again, i didnt buy most of th ehelis so i might not be able to help much.

Good luck tho!

Blame Allscript and their useless distribution network/system. It's been useless since the early 00s mind you. I had to fight for my issue 40 at their office because i'm not a subscriber. They only ever prioritise their subscribers.
