1/100 scale OH-13 or OH-58a ?

Anybody know of a source for a 1/100 or 15mm compatible OH-13 Sioux or OH-58a observation helicopters? I'm building up my ANZAC forces and need some Possums
Have looked at the Entex OH-58a it is both horrible and incredibly expensive. Willing to consider diecast matchbox/hotwheels or similar and can print 3d Stls. Cheers

Welcome back wirrakee,

I am sure i have seen an OH-58 STL around somewhere, I will have a look see and advise back if I can pin point it for you.

not sure if I have every seen a STL for an OH-13.

Occasionally the Entex kits do go cheaper on E-bay, if you keep looking.  I got a couple of them for about $5-7.00 USD each, though more often they are rediculously priced.  

If an OH-6 will work, QRF makes one in metal, though I don't think their post WWII lines are available yet, after their sale/move.

I'm working on an OH-13 in 15mm
Can't give any time frame.

Mine is an old ACE at 1/92 scale, the Ace Bell 206 Jetranger. Hard to find but works really well.
https://www.scalemates.com/kits/ace-hobby-kit-1061-bell-206--204407. I believe Jimmi gave to me a loooong time ago. Really hard to find. I have considered giving mine up for having molds made.
Maybe we can talk AIM into making these?

Thanks for the replies guys - trust me to pick the one scale that doesn't have what I need in it - both are available in 6mm, 1/72 & 1/48

@Tailendcharles - finally found a possible STL after multiple searches for the OH58A on thingiverse that may work with some work -resizing & filling
Bell 206 Jet Ranger / TH-57 Briefing Stick - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5142957

@Irishserb - Yep QRF post war stuff isnt up yet - tried looking for both of them the other day

@Mishima - that would be nice - look forward to it

@Darby - thanks for that I'll keep my eye out those

Rumor has it that there is a Matchbox helo that would work too, but it's more 1/87 and needs a lot of work (but is cheeeeap!), could be a very last resort.

Wirrakee,

Have you tried cgtrader?

Yep - all i can find are animated video game assets - too much work and expense to convert for a table top mini Cheers
though

The diecast OH-13/Bell 47 is a Dinky one. IIRC it's around 1/87- 1/90 ish and pretty toy like but they pop up on ebay and like sites with considerable frequency and usually pretty cheaply. Bit of work and a new coat of paint.....
