1/35 Aerosani Vertolet (Aerosan helicopter)

[frank2056]

Thanks guys! I think I'm done. It was 95F/35C on the patio - and breezy - so I took the pictures quickly before the blades windmilled off the model or it (or my feet) melted to the floor

Our bored French friend with the NKL-6 Aerosani Vertolet:



The landing gear gives it a bit of height, but I like the look:

 

Barely visible are spare fuel and oil cans in the rear bin:



Joined by the slightly wobbly inspector, who seems to have lost his book. Too much vodka:



"I'll be fine. Just inspecting the nose gear":

Thanks for all the comments! Phill - I don't have that much room to display large scale helicopters, so two bladed (even if they're doubled...) choppers for me! I just put the blades forward and it fits nicely in the display case.

Yeah thats a smart move mate ..me on the other have a problem..i like big choppers..CH47..CH53 and so on and so forth and of course favours i would not be doing myself so ill have to stick to planes i guess.
Even tho i do have a 35th scale AH1 Zulu Cobra which im trying to find seat belts for as there are none at all in the model..bloody annoying.

I have one built 1/35 chopper - a Dragon Huey - but a few 1/72 are in the cases and there are more in the stash.
I build them so the rotors are removable so I can stand them all up together at the back of the cabinet or put them in a drawer.
Of course there is the risk of inadvertent whiffs if I get them mixed up.

So far Fred ive done 5 35th scale choppers so far.
A Academy UH1 and the longer Dargon UH1
A Trumpeter Ch47 and Mil 8 ..for a mate
And the truely massive Revell Bell47 
The Academy UH1 is the one for the Heli transporter build which ill finish ..i promise

Thanks everyone. Both were tough builds but ultimately gave satisfying results.
