petetasker Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Another Mini Art Cierva C.30 for the cabinet. Built from Mini Arts ‘Ski’ boxing but utilising Reskit’s after market wheel set. Although I didn’t use the ski’s from the kit the winterised Genet engine is noticeably different to the standard engine configuration. This aircraft was originally imported into Sweden by Rolf von Bahr and initially used for ambulance flying and ski tourism. It was later used in a non combative role by Sweden for mine sweeping duties featuring a large Swedish flag on either side of the fuselage (I think this might be the next project). A very enjoyable build - hope it’s of interest 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BerndM Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Superb build and really something different. The scale is also quite different when it comes to flying things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Beautiful model of von Bahr's famous machine! It can be seen 'in the flesh' in the Stockholm Technical Museum. https://digitaltmuseum.se/021026304716/autogiro/media?slide=0 Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k5054nz Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Beauitful work. Such restrained weathering really adds to it, as though one has stumbled across the machine waiting to be flown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
