Although i have posted models before, this is my first WIP so bear with me.
The Fairey Ultra Light Helicopter was designed and built to a 1953 requirement for a simple, small and relatively cheap helicopter for reconnaissance and other duties like training. Fairey won the contract in 1954 and four machines were ordered with Fairey building two more to a slightly different design of cockpit as private ventures. The kit represents one of these and amazingly enough both the PV airframes survive, one with the International Helicopter Museum at Weston-Super-Mare and one at the Midland Aircraft Museum near Coventry. Although tested successfully the design never entered production. The Ultra Light used a small gas turbine to generate high pressure hot air that was then burnt at the rotor tip by fuel injected into it. the same system was used on the much bigger Rotodyne.
The AMP kit is produced by MkroMir and is tiny. There is one sprue of grey, fairly hard injection moulded plastic, a clear sprue for the cockpit with masks, a resin engine and a sheet of PE with some terrifyingly small parts. A reasonable looking decal shhet rounds the whole thing off. Instructions are the usual step by step and may not be entirely accurate. There is no mention of the control column which is on the sprue and shows up in photos of the real thingand some of the assembly sequence migh need looking at. What your get for your money is shown below.
