Model Forum / General / Models / May 2008Airwolf Helicopter
They are running the old Airwolf TV Series here on the nostalgia channel. There seems to be several opinions about which Bell Chopper was used (a 222 or a 206). Was there ever a model offered back in the mid 80's? >They are running the old Airwolf TV Series here on the nostalgia >channel.

There is reference to a 1/48 AMT on wiki and there is one now posted on ebay. >On May 2, 7:05 pm, some...@some.domain wrote: >> In article [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >There is reference to a 1/48 AMT on wiki and there is one now posted >on ebay. good lad! we knew you could do it! > >On May 2, 7:05 pm, some...@some.domain wrote: > >> In article [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > >on ebay. > good lad! we knew you could do it! It was originally an Esci product and had extra parts to replicate the outside appearance of the TV show chopper. The interior, however, was dead stock civilian. Mine came in a very dark grey plastic. Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr. > some...@some.domain wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr. I still have my AMT kit (several, in fact). Didn't one of the various Chinese companies do a knock-off recently? And when is someone going to do it in the one and only scale 1/72? :) In article <79d9b893-7f4f-4efa-aeaa-64ce5ab63379@h1g2000prh.googlegroups.com>, > They are running the old Airwolf TV Series here on the nostalgia > channel.

AMT/Ertl released a 1:48 Airwolf model back in 1984, kit #6680. It could be assembled as either Airwolf or a standard 222. The AMT/Ertl kit instructions say 222B, but Wikipedia says it was a 222 (aka 222A), and even gives the serial number of the specific machine used: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airwolf_%28helicopter%29> >They are running the old Airwolf TV Series here on the nostalgia >channel.

FWIW, there had been (till last year) a museum in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee that included among the exhibits a replica of the Airwolf helicopter. It was built using some of the hardware from the TV series mock-up, the rest of the add-on hardware being recreated from official production plans. Unfortunately the museum was in a lousy location and cost too much for me to visit, and it's gone now, being replaced by something else. I expect Airwolf may be headed to another museum collection or possibly to Star Cars in Gatlinburg. Stephen "FPilot" Bierce/IPMS #35922 {Sig Quotes Removed on Request} |
