Cierva C 30/LeO C30, France 1940, Azur 1/72


Recommended Posts

Hi,

Spanish Cierva C 30 was an Autogyro - a kind of precursor of modern helicopters. It was produced under licence in UK by Avro as Rota and in France by LeO C30. The model I made from Azur kit (1/72) required replace of engine and propeller to be a LeO C30 No 32. So this was small conversion, howver later I notice that such like mine version was also issued as limited edition by Azur. Things like that happens.. The engine consists of more than 40 pieces :)

The markings are from French Campaign in May-June 1940.

Those Azur kits are very nice and you've produced an nice little model there. I've got one half started but some pieces have gone missing...

Nice one. How are your eyes after putting together the engine?

Thank you for care - I made this model some years ago already - it was 6 or 7...So - still without glasses in those days :)

Cheers
