For some reason I thought the Z version had a 4 blade rotor or was that an experimental version? I would pick it up as a 1/35 but I will look at it for my son's room also depending on the price point in the end.

It does have four blades, the picture has been taken at an angle where the front blades are masking the rear ones, you can just make out another blade by the 'Y' of Kittyhawk.

I'll pick one up for sure.

Upscale to 1/35 please. A UH-1Y in 1/35 would be awesome too.

Hi Yalım

Hopefully Special Hobby should have that covered once their 1:72 kits hit the streets...

All the best
