BritJet Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Revell EC145 converted to an EC145T2 with Naval Models resin fenestron tail. I also had to extend the skids and add the flotation bags, aerials and cable cutters. The QinetiQ decals are home made, the full-size helicopter is used to support the various ranges used by QinetiQ hence the registration G-RNGS. With some of the 'family' Thanks for looking.

Part of an ongoing theme of Boscombe/Farnborough/Bedford etc test & trials aircraft as used over the last 70 or so years. Trouble is I keep finding more that I want to do! Cheers.

I highly recommend the book 'Testing Colours' published by Airlife back in the 1990s. Many colour photos of the RAe/ETPS/A&AEE fleet etc from the 1960s right through to the 1990s. Plenty of inspiration in there 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritJet Posted April 10, 2021 Author Share Posted April 10, 2021 I bought 'Testing Colours' when it first came out and have been slowly working my way through it in 1/72! I did a load of raspberry ripples last year and have got a few more planned for this year. I'm just starting the Agusta 109 in the Non-Injection GB.

noelh Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Brilliant and that's a busy hangar. I'd no idea there were kits of the fixed wing aircraft particularly the Twinstar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bell209 Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Nicely done. I wish someone would do the BK117 family in 1/48. They've been used in EMS roles around the world for years and I'm sure there's a market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Steve, where do you get the transparencies, it's one of the big problem with Mach2. What plane is G-ETPC? Manuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, 1/48 would make sense. The lack of a kit is probably due to it not being a military type.

Manuel The transparencies in my kit were not very clear and I needed to change the door window layout so I made a mould from the kit parts and vacformed the new parts. G-ETPC is a Grob 120TP - my recently finished build is here 14 hours ago, kapam said: Fantastic build! The tarmac diorama is awesome too! The tarmac is just a large sheet of card, sprayed with Hafords Grey Primer with the joints drawn on in pencil - Nice and simple but I will add some different shades and weathering at some point.
