ajmm Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Nice! Such a hilarious looking aircraft. A very clean and nicely finished build. I have one in 144. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opus999 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Beautiful job! I love how this helicopter looks like it has the nose of a Cessna 150. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feifeitim Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 That really is lovely! Just did some basic research on your helicopter and it appears it was a little more serious than it looks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnl42 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Dang, didn't know about anything like this. As @feifeitim noted, an interesting aircraft per Wikipedia: Quote The Cessna CH-1 Skyhook is the only helicopter ever built by the Cessna Aircraft Company. It was the first helicopter to land on the summit of Pike's Peak and the last piston-engined helicopter to set the helicopter altitude record. It is an interesting looking beastie...

It is unusual looking and the front end probably was from a Cessna 150! Why make something new when you've lots of useful things lying around already.......

mtkrl92 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I like choppers, though they are not within my aviation modeling circle. And until this moment I didn't know Cessna ever produced a helicopter, let alone I knew such a helicopter ever existed. Very interesting theme and a very nicely built model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Cool little model! Great execution too - Amodel are not shake-n-bake exercises in my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly not all that well known and one of the many dead-ends of the era. The kit went together really easily, Amodel have come a long way over the years and seem to get better with each kit.

I went for the white upper fuselage on mine but it was a bit of a headache masking! It also lacked the rear stabilisers, but I think I may have got mine wrong checking yours. Quite a tricky little build. But then yours was Amodel and my experience of them has been just as heavy on the filler. Superb job - just been readmiring your photos.
