For those of you who have the Academy 1/48 CH-46A/D and wish to do an F or early E version, MAW has provided this very nicely done conversion set. The resin itself is flawlessly molded and provides a number of parts.

First one has to determine the starting point. To do a metal bladed CH-46, Kit 12210 is needed. For the composite blades Kit 12207 is the one to buy. Then the instructions tell you just what parts to use for the two versions. The set has cockpit external armor, new exhaust, shrouded intakes, IR and flare/chaff dispensers (for which decals are provided as well), along with some other smaller antennas. A most complete conversion set and not at all expensive. Instructions are well done and provide all the information that you need to pull this off.

This set should be available as of this writing or quite soon. Visit the link below for more details.
