1/72 Alouette II - Portuguese Air Force


Recommended Posts

That is flipping amazing. You have built an actual miniature helicopter!

I really like the Alouette II, and have been looking out for the Mach2 kit. I was not aware of this Extra Tech kit, I will put it on my wish list, although I have no delusions that I could ever get it to look like this.

All the best.

Thanks for the comments mates.

Chockhead, I don’t know the Mach2 kit but I believe the tail structure is too thick.

The Extratech kit has good resin parts but is problem is the flat structure. It’s a bit hard to make all the tubular structure with metal rods, but you can choose to do only the tail part in metal rods using the card with wholes, it should make a big difference ;)

You can find the kit in the “PM ilona” store that works with Extratech

Vitor, you are a genious. I have this kit in my stash and this is exactly the reason it sits there! I think maybe I should go back to the Heller 50th scale kit, which is at least rounded bar for the trellis framework? Thanks for the pics and explanation.
