GHQ recently started making 1/2400 Ospreys, they're part of the LPD-21 pack and they're quite good. They also make SH-3, SH-60, CH-46, Lynx, Helix (or maybe Hormone) and Chinese Z-9. Some of the packages claim CH-53 Super Stallions but the sprues I've received are all SH-3s. Hope that helps.

I can't remember exactly how many but I think 2-4, something like that. Check FAQ for GHQ pricing.

I believe the Chinese helicopters are Z-8, copies of SA 321 Super Frelon Helicopter, not Z-9. At least GHQ says they are Z-8 and they look more like the. Super Freon to me.

I think the Osprey come two to a sprue.

The Knox has SH-2 Seasprite I think. The UK Sheffield, Amazon, and Broadsword have Lynx

I just picked up a Jiangkai II on Monday and was looking at it when I typed the message it looked like a Z-9 to me. But, I've been wrong before and I could be wrong now so I'll take a picture and post it. Ah, I just double checked the other packs, the Z-8 is supposed to come from the Liaoning pack, that makes sense. So, Z-8 and Z-9 are available.

I thought Knox might come with SH-2 but I wasn't sure.

The frigates come with the Z9?

Excellent. I haven't gotten around to opening the package

Would love to get ospreys for my ships but too expensive if you only get 2 per sprue
Guess I'll have to try to make a few
