It is definitely going to be a BIG helicopter. The rotor diameter is 72 feet which scales to 24.6 inches or 62.7 cm. Wiki also says it is 88 ft 6 inches long, which scales to 30.3 inches to 77cm. Heck the main gear will be 7 inches wide. A very big spindly bird!
 
Very nice! I'd love to see a more modern molding of this same helicopter in 1/72 scale too.
There are none that I know of yet.

I approached a company about releasing a folded rotor set. Since the research is done for them, they are interested.
