Magnum collectors UNITE!

#1 Post by zebra3 »

I'll delete this later as it's kind of a ridiculous thread.

Right now, there are two rare Magnum PI model helicopters for sale on eBay. Usually they go for quite a bit and are hard to find, however these are a decent deal. can someone who has or knows someone who has the chopper model please post whatever pics you might have so I can see what the heck the thing looks like? The photos posted on eBay are poor and google's doing nothing for me.
I guess I'd like to know if it comes prepainted or not. The Ferrari does.

The kit comes in brown, Sorry, you'll have to paint the yellow and orange.
Be advised however the helicopter in the kit is NOT a hughes 500D.
It is this:

The Cayuse military helicopter with MPI photos on the box.
The main differences in appearence between the kit chopper and T.C.'s are 4 rotor blades instead of 5. Y tail instead of T tail, little windows in the back doors.

Also, neither this kit or the Ferrari are "painted" They are both moulded in red (Ferrari) and brown (helicopter).
