DocJonno Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Sea king with lights and moving rotors. Tail and bottom leds flash. Other lights include the front ones and a right and left navigation light. Usb charge with an internal lipo battery. Finish isn't great as I find these helicopters difficult with making windows. Lights don't show up well as too bright outside. Will do one when darker. After thought. Very difficult to easily access on off switch when rotors running. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmerboy Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 That took some work to get that all together, certainly adds massive interest to the model and in 1/72 scale! Good job! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job! Thanks. The beauty of the sea king is the under seating area which is relatively spacious so you can fit lots of stuff in. (Spacious compared to the electrified 1/72 spitfires I make!)

Robertone139 Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 That is AWESOME! Can you share what did you use to motorize both rotors? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I didn't take pics of setup but I've drawn a bit of what it looks like for motors The tail rotor setup is demonstrated on the other sea king thread of mine at the end of the post 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
