Hey guys-

A few kits I'm looking for that I cant seem to find;

Italeri 1/72 Agusta A129 Mangusta
Italeri 1/48 Aerospatiale Tiger, any version.
Monogram 1/48 T-37


If anyone has any of these that they would like to sell or trade, let me know.  I can do paypal and as most of you know, I'm in the US.


:cheers:
So I got that going for me...which is nice....

At the risk of sounding like a smart a^!, there is no 1/48 Monogram T-37. As a matter of fact, there is no 1/72 T-37. Hasegawa sells one but, it is nothing more than an A-37 kit with instructions on how to modify the wingtips.

The Monogram 1/48 A-37 can be found on Ebay quite often. There is this one going on right now.

I thought that was a Revell of Germany kit?  At least that was the brand name on the kit that I purchased.

Thought Academy did a T-37 in 1/72 or is that a A-37 as well ?

The Academy kit is an A-37 as well.  It's a nice kit, better than the Hasegawa (IMO) but again, you'd have to do some work to convert to a T-37.  But if you are not too picky about perfect accuracy and just want something for the shelf that looks like a T-37, it would probably work.

I know this won't help your cause AD, but after quite a lengthy time looking for a Mangusta myself, I've only just picked one up this last week.

Aurora made a 1/43 T-37:   http://www.oldmodelkits.com/index.php?detail=2504&searchtext=T-37
So it's quite possible that Monogram did one it 1/48 as they do an A-37:  http://www.oldmodelkits.com/index.php?detail=7364&searchtext=A-37  Edit: strike that, Randie is right, no Monogram T-37

KingKit in the UK has three different 1/48 Tigers made by RoG:  http://www.kingkit.co.uk/kingkit/1_catalogue_freeview.php do a search using Eurocopter as the search word

Edit: KingKit also have a Mangusta

I did mean the Monogram A-37, not the T-37.  Jeffry, you're right about the Tiger, my mistake!

Thanks for the replies lads.  It looks like I've found a Mangusta, and I'm bidding on an A-37 on ebay too.

Still open to trades though if anyone has any of the above they would like to get rid of.

I think my local model shop has a Mangusta - I could pick it up for you if you still need one. :)
Some of my models can be found on my Flickr album >>>HERE<<<

If you luck-out on the A-37, Nick, I got one here in a Revell box - better decals - If you want it it's yours..... swaps are always good & deals can always be done !

Will do Ian, it should have been there I would think.  Everyone else's stuff arrived very quickly (though it was domestic US dleivery).  I'll see what I can find out.

I'll may be in touch on the A-37 too.   :cheers:
