Opus Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 I saw these a while ago. HLJ has a might have better price than MIM deprnding on the shipping cost. http://www.hlj.com/scripts/hljpage.cgi?AOS09056 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opus Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 the description says the landin gear is retractable. I wonder if the guns and missile launcher will be as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechatek Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Must have for me. It's the same size as the AMT/Ertl model kit, kinda small. Would've been even better in a slightly larger scale, with opening doors and retractable ADF pod. Oh well, any replica of "The Lady" is better than nothing. Where's my season dvd box sets Universal?

EXO Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Aoshima is coming out with a 1/18 KITT car in January with "scanners" I don't know what that means, but I think that's the leds... but I'm not sure they'll light up. There's also going to be a KARR version... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Hunter D Posted October 7, 2004 Author Share Posted October 7, 2004 All we need now is a Street Hawk toy to complete the holy trinity of 80's supervehicle cheeziness I'm not sure if Aoshima is going to put in retractable missile pods and guns, but at 1/48 scale I'd think they'd be able to. My guess is that there are going to be switchable parts to replicate the weapons being stowed away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamineko Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Blast from the past -- the mighty eponymous helicopter, from the 80's TV show "Air Wolf"! In 1/48 scale, this completed metal model measures 27 cm long. 2 AAA batteries (not included) will turn the rotors; the landing gear is retractable. The "Limited" version comes in a two-toned black metallic paint scheme. 27"? Geez thats twice as long as a 1/48 Valk in fighter mode. Oh well, got 3 months to figure out where it would fit for display . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JsARCLIGHT Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 So will that Airwolf come with a coked out pilot that crashes it into a hillside? ... or a drunk Jan Michael Vincent who doses off on shoots? ... or a bloated Ernest Borgnine who keeps steeling Jan's booze? ... or little speakers to crank the top 10 German dance mix of the theme song? God I hated Airwolf. At least Blue Thunder had Roy Shieder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsu legato Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 At least Blue Thunder had Roy Shieder. Pfft! Roy Schieder isn't fit to wash Borgnine's sock. Earnest Borgnine was in The Wild Bunch for pete's sake! Schieder's biggest claim to fame is narrowly avoiding being eaten by a shark.

Dobber Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 I loved the show as well! But I have to admit that seeing it again more recently, that it definately had a cheese factor going. That being said however, the pilot episode is still freaking awesome. I think with some slight modifications it would make a great Movie. Modifications meaning modernisations, but the story really holds water, espesially in todays world climate. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earnest Borgnine was in The Wild Bunch for pete's sake! Schieder's biggest claim to fame is narrowly avoiding being eaten by a shark. Please. Scheider is a friggin LEGEND man. Borgnine is cool, don't get me wrong, but he was teamed up with JAN MICHAEL VINCENT, whose claim to fame was how being on long ocean voyages didn't make him lonely, just horny. I would say Roy wins. Plus wasn't his archnemesis Malcom McDowall? You have to be badass to go up against him, with or without a tricked out helicopter! And he was in French Connection too. SUCK IT!

Seven Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Didn't Airwolf have nuclear missiles that glowed like lasers when they were launched? Funny enough, he always seemed to fire them at close range in a dogfight with another copter. I was probably 10 or something when that show came out and even then I couldn't buy into the cheesiness and suspend my disbelief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellohikaru Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Airwolf with nukes that glow ? Maybe its the sunburst flare countermeasure. Yeah...it seem Hawk needs to manually aim the rockets sort of like dumb fire weapons from Wing Commander. The cockpit doors make a hissing sound when open yet you see the smaller windows on each door. Still loved the show anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechamaniac Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Sorry but at 27" with today's technology, it better do a damn sight more than just rotate the blades and have retractable gear to warrant $129.00. And unless K.I.T.T. comes complete with the condescending homo voice, it's not worth crap either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
