llking Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 Glad we made it Well after taking with Lloyd (bad thing to do with a credit card and sitting in front of a computer) I will either be building a 1/35th Academy MH 60L Blackhawk from Operation Gothic Serpent or 1/48 Academy CH-53E as USMC HMH-466 Naked Lady I didn't make you buy them.

Knight_Flyer Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Quite happy this made it through as I have a few helo kits. Probably not a Huey, saving that one for the STGB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llking Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 I have a few nice kits tucked away for this, when can we start?! going to be working out the details with Mish this evening and she will be posting the calendar as soon as she gets it worked up.

Caution Wake Turbulence Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Depending upon the state of my life and, more importantly, my state of mind when this one starts, I could be tempted to join in. I take it civil types are welcome? I seem to have accumulated quite a few EC135/145 kits in various guises. Cheers, Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Andrew A helicopter is a helicopter no matter what colours or markings it wears Andrew I have an S-61 in the stash and a couple of EC135 to do as civil examples so they may make an appearance here. Not sure if it has been mentioned previously, but would the MC-22 Osprey be allowed in this GB since it is a tilt rotor and not a helicopter????

It's good question and I guess the same goes for an autogyro not that I've seen many autogyro model kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob G Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Hmm, a civil Chinook. Unless I try that on in the Airliner GB. Or maybe a Hind. Or a HueyCobra. Or a Huey. Or mumblemumble... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milktrip Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Hmm, a civil Chinook. Unless I try that on in the Airliner GB. Or maybe a Hind. Or a HueyCobra. Or a Huey. Or mumblemumble... You could leave the Huey and hueycobra for the Huey family STGB A civvie chinook would be good to see. I was thinking of the same for the airliners build but once the calendar is confirmed I may change and build a bell 212 for that one. In support of the Italian GB I might change my choices for this GB to a guardia di finanza NH-500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 It's good question and I guess the same goes for an autogyro not that I've seen many autogyro model kits. Theres the Airfix 1/24 ''Little Nellie'', of James Bond, and models of the Cierva C30 as used by the RAF. You'll have to consider the Fairey Rotodyne as well.

llking Posted December 3, 2015 Author Share Posted December 3, 2015 I'd say anything that falls under this A helicopter is a type of rotorcraft in which lift and thrust are supplied by rotors. This allows the helicopter to take off and land vertically, to hover, and to fly forward, backward, and laterally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Which excludes autogyros, as they are propelled by a propellor. Or by being towed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Vale Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Totally up for this. I love helicopters but am terrified of building them so I need a push. Well, more of a shove really. will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
