I'll need a couple especially if they do the bulged rear doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Russell Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 The CAD pictures have gone thanks to Postimage screwing up as has been reported elsewhere. They look very nice to us and we could only find a few minor comments, which may be only relevant from a local viewpoint. 1. Some versions had a round back seat different to what is shown - maybe a civil/military difference? 2. The seat belts are incorrect according to our information. They are Type ZC on all drawings and pictures we have. 3. it would be good if the navigation lights are a separate part as their position on the gear legs varied between aircraft. They were clamped on. 4. The cyclic control sticks need handles on them. 5. The doors in the CAD are the uncommon ambulance doors. We presume that normal doors will be supplied as well. 6. The protector plate ‘fairing’ on the gear leg aft of the exhaust should be a separate part as it was sometimes removed, particularly on RAN ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some have already been corrected. 3 versions of the rear of the cabin have already been made. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

71chally Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I think the problem is that the Sycamore was one of those helicopters that went through many changes in production, and with the services that they flew with. The kit looks to based on the main production HR.14 and to me looks correct for that. The bulged ambulance doors were very common on this version and the related Mk14/52 Belgian & German export variants, more so than the solid door even on the SAR, training and VIP role Sycamores. I would love to build a two door HR.12 but I couldn't possibly expect a model company to be able to make that many changes. As it is Mikromir seem to be very good at listening to people. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
