Norwegian Air Ambulances


Recommended Posts

Hi there

 

I recently completed my second Norwegian Air Ambulance using the Revell EC-135 kit. The first was using the Airfix MBB BO 155 kit. To make an up to date EC 135 I had to steal the radar nose from a Heller EC 145 kit.

 

Both were finished using the excellent Lima November decals produced by one of our local IPMS club members.

 

I see the EC -135 flying over my house sometimes when they are on a mission. These helicopters are often in the news for their rescue operations. There are some good clips on Youtube showing their rescue’s which are often very risky. Look for: Norsk Luftambulanse. There is a very good clip of a helicopter balancing on the roadside crash barrier to let the doctor out due to insufficient landing space on the road next to a cliff wall.. Unfortunately there was a fatal accident a couple of years ago when the helipcopter struck power lines when landing. 

 

Anyway, on the the pictures.

Hello 62,

Thanks for sharing these two Air Ambu's with us. Have visited your country many times during January /April season, so I know what the conditions are to operate in.For instance the "White Out"

Nothing else but respect for these crews that are risking their lives on a daily base.

The models are looking great. regards, Orion.
