Alejandro Martinez Colombres Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Hi all, I will try to convert this old kit into the only S-61 operated by Fuerza Aerea Argentina. And this are my notes concerning required modifications and measures. Not being a WIP guy, I will try to post advances in the measure of my possibilities. What I try to achieve is this: All credits to whom it may correspond. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heloman1 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Alejandro, you may have your work cut out with this very old Revell kit. It is not the best start! So I wish you luck with your build andI will enjoy watching your build. Colin a helicopter fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alejandro Martinez Colombres Posted July 16, 2018 Author Share Posted July 16, 2018 Thank you Colin. In fact this is the Lindberg kit. I can't easily distinguish it from the Revell one. I bought it a few weeks ago at Madrid's flea market and the previous owner had already started it (removed the access door and opened the top of the engine). For my part, I sanded totally and rescribed panel lines according to the profile I found. I must reduce windows´size, enlarge the first port side one, make a new door and a very long etcetera.

rob Lyttle Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Hi Alejandro. When I saw "S61" I had to have a look. Thought it might be one of these... They used to fly to the Scilly isles at the VERY south west tip of Cornwall UK. I lived very close and flew a few times for work in Scillies. I see yours is a different type, but good luck with the build and conversation work. I had aLindberg kit once and it was terrible, I didn't build it, so I hope this one is a LOT better 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Nice project Alejandro, I’m going to sit in on this one! Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alejandro Martinez Colombres Posted July 16, 2018 Author Share Posted July 16, 2018 Hi Rob, in my case I am building the S-61R. You are most interested in the S-61 N. I am also interested in that one because was also used here, but demands a lot of work, may be using two Sea Kings and some scratch build. Next time, may be. In the mean time...

Alejandro Martinez Colombres Posted July 16, 2018 Author Share Posted July 16, 2018 (edited) http://www.gacetaeronautica.com/gaceta/wp-101/?p=20396 This is the link to a publication about the helicopter I am trying to build with many photos in the 3 schemes it wore. It is in Spanish, but the images are my main source of inspiration. Cheers.
