ReccePhreak Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 (edited) Does anybody make a model of the Enstrom 480B helicopter? I would like to build one of these: Larry Edited December 25, 2019 by ReccePhreak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Dot Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 (edited) Was this photo taken this year at the Childrens Day event at Lop Buri? I might have been standing next to you! No idea about a kit i'm afraid Andy Edited March 4, 2018 by Red Dot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k5054nz Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Scalemates has nothing, but unfortunately that doesn't surprise me. I'm a light heli fan too and the Enstrom's another in a long list of types that would be nice to see kitted but, for whatever reason, hasn't attracted even the short run folks. A 1/32 or 1/35 kit would be pretty cool and make for some fun diorama opportunities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upnorth Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Looks like nothing is out there right now. I'd keep an eye on the Czech manufacturers though, the flight training centre at Pardubice is set to replace their Mil Mi-2s with Enstroms in the near future. that might be an incentive for them to do one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReccePhreak Posted March 8, 2018 Author Share Posted March 8, 2018 Thanks for all the replies. It looks like I was right, there aren't any kits of it, yet. Oh well, I have plenty of other planes to do in Thai markings, maybe I will live long enough to see a kit of it. The photo wasn't mine, I just found it on the internet somewhere.

See: www.aviationmegastore.com/166660 Thanks for the info, Mika & Branky. Don't know if I am up to building a resin 1/72 helicopter. even if it does have the correct markings.
