Bristol 171 Sycamore 1/48


Recommended Posts

I have two AMP helicopter kits in my stash awaiting my attention.  Yours turned out great so this give me hope.  Love the blue color!  Hard to paint to look this good.  Nice pictures too.

Thanks for feedback. Helicopters from AMP is not difficult to assembling.

That looks great, Michael. Nice one.

 

I would love to have a go at flying a Sycamore (not much chance of that!), as it was such a quirky machine and so very different from modern helicopters. The nearest I've got has been sitting in a cockpit in a museum. I'm not sure that I'd feel entirely comfortable being held up by wooden blades, though!

Michael,

 

Thats beautiful. Especially the modulation/shading in the paintwork. That is so easily overdone, but I think it's just right,

 

Congratulations on this,

 

Alan

Superb helicopter with a dream finish!

 

Is the main rotor folding mechanism included in the kit or did you scratchbuild it?

 

Anyway, it not only looks good but makes the model easy to display in the vitrine.

 

Impressive work!

 

Kind regards,

 

Joachim
