Konrad Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Despite the fact that helicopters are not a popular topic I want to share with you my Agusta. It was planned as OoB model. Unfortunately Revell omitted some quite important parts (winch, mirror, some antennas, etc.). The bottom side of fuselage in a kit is an S-F Model built in "a hurry" mode (comparing to my normal speed ) in less than 3 weeks. I hope that despite this the result is acceptable. 58 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bandsaw Steve Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I do like these rescue choppers; colourful and important subjects. Nice model. Welcome to BM. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abandoned Project Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 to britmodeller. Lovely helicopter! SAR helicopters and air ambulances are always welcome so keep posting. Some, like myself probably get scared of ruining a good model trying to build a SAR helo. That and getting the right info to convert a military helicopter into a SAR version can be difficult. Keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldy Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 That looks great! Neat and tidy build and nicely finished. I like it! Cheers Malcolm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konrad Posted November 16, 2019 Author Share Posted November 16, 2019 Thank you for being so warmly welcomed into the company. I love the SAR / rescue equipment. In my collection I've only a few small helis, but I hope I'm gonna increase their number (rapidly) 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kampartiger Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 That's a smart looking A109 with all the extra add ons, the thing that caught me by surprised is that I never thought the Agusta is longer than a huey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr T Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Very smart looking helicopter, not built that many over the years (about six I think) for reasons I do not know looking at your excellent effort. Welcome to the forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Helicopter are very popular with me (having spen a fair number of hours in them as a TV cameraman), and especially when they are as 'acceptable' as this one. Beautiful model, especially considering its tiny size! Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Hello Konrad, Splendid. This shows what you can achieve with a little 1/72 chopper. Colorful scheme brings it all out. Regards, Orion - The Netherlands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for one and many others will disagree with that statement! I love them and there are a few key people on here that also find them of great interest. @Ex-FAAWAFU, @perdu, @andyf117 to mention just a few. You have really pulled it off with this one. To my eyes it is a superb little replica. Already added to my "want" list. Those others also look rather splendid. You should do a Work In Progress on your next build. What do you have planned?

perdu Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Terry is right, some of us love them almost beyond any other subjects Yours is a little beauty, welcome home amongst us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konrad Posted November 21, 2019 Author Share Posted November 21, 2019 Mates, you're embarrassing me. Thanks again for your warm words. I had a one year break from modeling and now I'm finishing started previously projects. Currently I'm working on Mitsubishi MU-2S and next will be a glider or... Kamov 226 (a picture shows status from a year ago). If (when?) I get back to the project, I'll start a report in the section "Work in Progress" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Extremely nice helicopter builds! I really love the panel wash effects, which really improve the realism and detail. Brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
