F-Toys 1/144 OH-58D

Okay, let me try this again.  I tried to post this twice Friday afternoon, and the internet connection crapped out both times.  I realize that a gashapon trading kit is not technically a model, but I got such a buzz from actually putting something together that I had to share.  You have my apologies if the photos are a little crappy.  My camera has macros for counteracting shaky hands, or shooting little things up close, but you can't run them simultaneously.



The loadout on the Kiowa is a pair of Hellfires and a gun pod.

This next shot was an attempt to create a little scene using forced perspective, something I have seen demonstrated here and on other sites.  The Kiowa is approximately 1/144.  The tank is a 21st Century Toys M36 tank destroyer.  Its package was labeled 1/144, but it's much, much smaller.  I think I achieved the effect I was looking for, though the fan and the cat food sack detract from the scene.



That little TD isn't going to know what hit it.

That little thing sure has a lot of detail for such a small kit, as the 1/72nd scale version is also pretty small.
Those things would make excellent UAV's if scaled up to 1/72nd scale too.

I got one of the F-Toys 1/144th scale Merlins earlier this month, went together in about ten minutes! They really are pretty well detailed. Did you get a HMWVV with it, the OH-6's have them not sure about the OH-58's?

All I got was the helo and a stand in mine.  A Humvee would have been nice, too.
