I've only been able to skim through the threads here lately - do we have an approximate release date for the Rafales and Lynxes?

There's three listed on the Hobby Boss site, but there's a total of five on Hannants & other sites now.

87236 Royal Navy Lynx HAS.2 Decals for Fench & Dutch Navies (not RN, strangely given the title).
http://www.hobbyboss.com/87237-cn.htmRoyal Navy Lynx HAS.3
87238 Royal Navy Super Lynx Decals for two Royal Navy aircraft
87239 German Navy Lynx Mk.88 Decals for two Bundesmarine aircraft
87240 Lynx Mk.30  Not sure about this one, I don't know of any Mk.30.  Possibly a typo making it a Super Lynx 300.  I can't imagine that'd it be a Westland 30, we can only hope!

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

The Mk.30 is probably a misprint of the Danish Mk.90 Mossie, due later than first three kits (Mk.88, HAS.3 & Super Lynx HMA.8).

Oh, the Rescue Hawk looks good.  :o The GAU-17 looks great!

Were the HH-60s ever equipped with Penguins?  :huh:

An Italian Heavy Crusier in 1/350? Now that's something different.  :o Maybe someone will finally come out with a 1/350 Rodney and Nelson.  :banghead:

I'm slightly confused about the HH-60H.  Firstly, I don't think that a CSAR aircraft would be using an AShM, Hellfire for sure, but Penguin, seems like some serious hardware for a rescue ship.  Secondly, the refer to it as a 'Early Verison', although it's got the nose mounted FLIR that was a comparitively recent upgrade, and finally HS-15 as the operator?  I know there's been a rationalisation of the HS & HCS units, but it seems odd to me anyway.  Anyone else with a better handle is welcome to comment on this.

Penguins were fitted out on all early Seahawk models in the USN, but not necessarily used operationally on them.

With the markings and the Penguin, it might just be an insta-Whif out of the box  ;D

Which seems to be true for some of the Hobby Boss helo kits. The Mi-24 Hind-E has a marking scheme for a Hind-F in colours that wouldn't be accurate for either version. And the markings in one of the Hueys seem to be quite off as well (not to mention rocket pods, miniguns and grenade launcher on a Medevac bird). :lol:

That's just the model they're issuing for the "Tropic Thunder" movie tie-in   :lol:
