Yes, but why?

I think the link I gave was for the Lama, while for the Alouette 2 the source was all in French and few here do read it easily.
Anyway, I got the kit, and building it may start soon:

PS. The Revell filler is on the picture because I got it for free in the invoice: the price was free of postage if reaching a precise amount, a little above the kit price, so I added the putty for this price and got free shipping, which means I could have paid it as postage and having the putty as free bonus! Happy surprise, marketing is not always bad.

My son (9yo), that was helping me, insisted that I include a chair, even if I said the canopy will be painted...
Concerning the wing, my project has changed: the rotor blades are so thin, fragile, elastic, that I will not glue 2 of them together with putty into a single wing, no, I think this will be 2 tandem wings of tiny chord (a secret recipe for top performance...)

great project !

Great that's he's involved 

Thanks! I started to paint the underside:

Going on... (soon completed):

The Alwet model is finished!

This Alwet is suspected not to be a true Alouette, but some fake or insult against the Sud-Est designers...

And here are 4 other angles of this airboat or snowmobile:

Perish the thought Tophe, we need your innovation on here. 

Fabulous.

absolutely fabulous indeed!

The freedom of your imagination is out of bounds, which is why you can see things others don't. Keep it that way, it is inspiring.

Thank you all!

Ericr, YOU are the inspiration of this all... :

The source of this project comes from the inspiration of the P-38/Hughes 500 marvel by our friend ericr at http://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php/topic,37003.1815.html
Thanks!
