BritJet Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Just finished this conversion from the Italeri OH-58A Kiowa as the Helicharter Wales Jet Ranger I had a flight in about 5 or 6 years ago. Had to make the cabin window bigger, scratchbuild taller skids and the cabin seat, add aerials and make my own decals but the base kit is very nice and went together very easily. Comments welcome. Thanks for looking. Steve Edit - spelling 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rich2010 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Like it in that scheme. Great finish. In my stash I've got a couple of these as well as the M&E conversion. I plan to do a few different versions: 2x USNTPS and a BEA. Until you actually see how big (or little) they are, you'll know why they're still in the stash.

Rodders154 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 The Jetranger has to be my favourite aircraft and you have done it proud. Looks like it is 48 scale not 72nd. Well done I did a conversion form the matchbox oh58 some months ago but your is far superior, Well done Rodders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Nice to see this one done, I've also had a flight in this Jet ranger. The aircraft was based at Withybush airfield and was a regular sight around the area on pleasure flights. Good job on the model, looks great Shaun.

BritJet Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 Thanks again for the kind comments Like it in that scheme. Great finish. In my stash I've got a couple of these as well as the M&E conversion. I plan to do a few different versions: 2x USNTPS and a BEA. Until you actually see how big (or little) they are, you'll know why they're still in the stash. Is the M&E conversion intended for the Matchbox OH-58D? USNTPS and BEA would look very nice and yes it is very little! The Jetranger has to be my favourite aircraft and you have done it proud. Looks like it is 48 scale not 72nd. Well done I did a conversion form the matchbox oh58 some months ago but your is far superior, Well done Rodders Definitely 1/72 - only about 130mm long, it looks much bigger in the photos Nice to see this one done, I've also had a flight in this Jet ranger. The aircraft was based at Withybush airfield and was a regular sight around the area on pleasure flights. Good job on the model, looks great Shaun. That's where I flew in it as a combined Charistmas/birthday present from my niece who lives in Little Haven Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
