) will go for, yet people won't pay half that for it at retail.
Here's one that I had in the 80's. I've been looking pic of it and thanks to justincase over at The Corps Forum I have a couple to show off
The one I had, when I was little, was black and had red missle and achin turret. This helicopter is a little different as far as color and the missiles and chin turret are missing, but it is it. If anyone can find it this thing has great custom potential.

Not GREAT pricing, but for the hard to find Little Bird it's not terrible.

Fuck me, it's times like these I realize exactly what prices on this stuff has done in the past few years. I got my Kiowa and Little Birds just a few years ago at a store for retail price.
I remember getting the Kiowas from Badcat (shame on me, I know) for like $39.99 or something. Maybe cheaper!
Of all the helo's I never thought the Kiowa would bring those kind of prices.

I had that black and red ones also, it was my Dragonfly since I never got one of those. I think I still have it somewhere.

Who knew the PTE Little bird was rare and hard to find.

Scale dimensions, its not off by much, but it is more the accurately rendered I laughed at. Alot of the smaller pieces are EXTREMELY thick. Not to mention the stub landing gear
I refuse to call those things hasbro makes(atleast recently) helicopters, none the less comparing it to something reasonably well done.
Hell, The NAC ain't got any landing apparatus at all. Molded on rear wheels, I think.
I take that back, rolling reverse tricycle with a molded-on tail wheel.
True Story: The PTE AH-6 skids are of a more-accurate length than Bbi's.

One of a kind item.
Next line?
I have two of these.
Anyhoo, somebody on HT offered to swap their broken 109G for my Kiowa.
Just watch dealing there lately KT. There have been some shiesters as of late. I've been very picky with my dealings.
in 2006 I was working in Elmira New York or just beside it. Anyway the local WallMart had about 15 CIA Hueys on clearance for $10 each. I kick myself everyday for not buying them. I had already purchased the Hog's HEad huey a couple of years before and I didn't see any need to buy another one.
I wish someone would make a D model.

it was neat for molded plastic
cool if you find it i like to see pics of it
I found it, my son has done a number on it. I know the canopy and missles are some where in his toy box. Amazing how I can have this intact for 30 years and my son can trash it in a few months!
