AH-6 Little Bird Stats

[Mac]

So walking through my local Wal-Mart store, I found this little beauty in the discount toy aisle for $7 (normally $10 for a set, it also came with a cargo Humvee).

It's from New Millenium Toys and is 1:48 scale, so it is just a bit larger than the ~1:60 scale BFE minis. I figured since I'm going to build a flight stand, it won't look too out of scale. I've got the Real World (TM) stats for the little bird, but need a points cost and BFE stats. I'm going to start playing around, but thought y'all might like a crack at it too.

Check out http://evocommand.com/ and take a look at the forums, specifically the Unconventional Warfare section and the cards made by Pieta. I guarantee you will find some inspiration, oh and some Little Bird stats. Welcome aboard!

I've got the same one. Be very careful, as the rotors bend and snap way to easy.

I currently have three little birds from Corgi that are 1/64 scale. I also picked up an Apache at the same scale, along with other similarly useful models. I think that these particular models are no longer in store stock, but are an "e-bay thing" you can find.

Hi
Its a long shot buuut...I bought one of these fine little helis, and decised I wanted to improve the realism by 'sagging' the blades in boiling water -- got one too close to the flame and it warped.
Can't find a website for them, any ideas on where I can get spare blades other than buying another 'copter?
Thanks for any help!

Looks way out of scale to me.

It is, when you actually put it next to some of the other stuff. It looks alright if it's on a flight stand though.
