Michael-S Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 Hello folks. Today i introduce my new model, was built in this year. Best regards. Michael. 52
CJP Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 Very nice model - looks great with rotors folded up CJP 1
Bell209 Posted April 19, 2018 Posted April 19, 2018 Lovely job! I hope my Belcher's Bits one comes out half as well. 1
Uncle Pete Posted April 19, 2018 Posted April 19, 2018 Nice job. As a flier of R/C I have no interest in choppers at all but as a sticker of plastic I might just have to give one a whack! 1

Spitfire31 Posted April 19, 2018 Posted April 19, 2018 Superb modelling! It looks just 'right' for a working machine. Kind regards, Joachim 1
Jonners Posted April 19, 2018 Posted April 19, 2018 Fantastic. I'm lucky enough to fly a modern helicopter that is just a teensy bit more complex than the HO3S/S-51/Dragonfly was, so it astonishes me what my forebears managed to do with these machines. Your model really looks the part: well-made and nicely finished with a real 'workhorse' appearance. Jon 1

CJP Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 Michael the more I look at your model the more I like it - you said it was medium difficulty - did you have to do much scratch building? - is the holder for the folded rotor blades and rotor hub detail included on the etch? CJP 1
Frank083 Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 Very nice model! I like that kind of design, very esthetic! Good work here! Frank 1
Convair Posted April 21, 2018 Posted April 21, 2018 Very nice model, I especially liked the winch and the silver propeller blades. 1
Reini78 Posted April 21, 2018 Posted April 21, 2018 NOICE! great work, especially with that kit, AFAIK AMP kits have their issues... 1
CMSCHLOM Posted April 21, 2018 Posted April 21, 2018 Love it! I actually got to see one of these fly into Ft. Rucker, AL, where it was to be donated to the Army Aviation Museum. 1

CJP In this model much has been done from scratch. 1) Shutters for cooling the reducer main rotor. 2) the winch has been modified 3) the blades of the main rotor are made in the folded position 4) the blade holder is assembled from brass, by soldering. Best regards. Michael. 1
Colin1967 Posted April 22, 2018 Posted April 22, 2018 Hi Michael, A fantastic build and I really like the weathering effect you have achieved overall, it just adds such a difference to the finished helicopter More please ! Colin. 1
Buzby061 Posted April 22, 2018 Posted April 22, 2018 Great work, I don't think I've seen one of those modelled before. I must admit, when I saw the title I thought "What the heck is a HO3S-1!" Now I know. Pete 1
