Hello !
I am searching for the Attack Squadron kit of the Kman K-Max 72015 or 72118.

Great work so far !
But you have to correct the tail rotor, as you glued it in place, it turns in the wrong direction.
This is an error, that Revell made with this kit !

Hello !
Now two other photos:
And now the photos where i marked the changings, that i made:
1. added the sensor on the main rotor (completely missing in the kit)
2. corrected the frame of the window, in the kit the clear part begins under the frame of the copilots door
3. scratched the sensors on the nose (left and right, completely missing in the kit)
4. changed the tires (had some left of an Jayhawk 1/48 kit)
5. added bolts made of superglue with an toothpick to this heat shields
9. corrected the copilotsdoor, with cutting out a part and addding a clear part
6. scratched some parts, to match the sliding door mechanism better
7. added sensor on the pilots upper window
8. molded the parts for the Pop up floats with putty
10. added tail light, moulded wth superglue
11. added this antenna
12. took some clear part or the lense of the SX-5, to make it look like more realistic
13. corrected the angle of the stabilizer of the endplate

Hello guys !
Now most of the Major mistakes of the kit have been discussed. Myself, i could complete this kit some days ago !
Some things i had to scratchbuild, wheels were taken from an Jayhawk in 1/48. On my Dolphin there have to be placed the decals,
here im am waiting for some other decals, that include more options, like the Kodiak bird, etc.. After placing the decals, i would build the door handles.
But now a few photos:
Hope you like it so far,

As i am currently building the new Trumper Dolphin kit, i found some more mistakes :
- left front door, no clear part for the under side of the door
- speed sensor on the left and right side of the nose missing
- sensor on the main rotor hub is missing completely
- left sliding door, wrong shape of the clear part
- door handles completely missing
- right sliding door, fixed provisions on the door for the sliding mechanism completely missing
- wrong shape of the wheels
- tail light not included
Nothing, that you cannot fix with scratching, but for am completely new kit very disappointing.

Got my USCG HH-65 Dolphin in the last days. Today i looked over the sprues and i found one big mistake. The Co-pilot´s door part is wrong. There is no clear part for the window on the underside of the door.
Hope you guys understand what i mean.

For the BK-117 kit you can take both of the Medicopter Revell kits, but the 1/32 is actually not in production.
Only the inlet barrier filter system has to be scratched and some parts of the medical interior, i think.

Hello guys !
I have already done two conversions. First the EC-145 T2 of DRF Luftrettung and the newest helicopter for East Anglian Air Ambulance.
For both conversions i took some old EC-135 parts, because you have to change the length, the diameter of the fenestron and the housing of the fenestron.
Some Pictures will follow tomorrow.

@hawkwrench
I have ordered mine from Amazon, otherwise it is no Problem to get it here in Austria.
@All
some further steps done on my EC-135. Cockpit only needs the seats, so i think i can start with the medical interior tomorrow.
I don´t have any interior photos of the original EC-135, i build it according to the instruction.

@ all
First steps are done. First i had to cut some openings into the kit, where i insert the old style air intakes.
After glueing These resin parts in place, i had to putty some things, because the original helicopter has some fixed winch provisions on this place. The other parts of the inlet barrier filter have only to be sanded.

Hello together !
I have decided to start with a new building.
I have already built a lot of helicopters from different users worldwide, but now i want to build two Helicopters of East Anglian Air Ambulance. First i want to build an EC-135, later on an EC-145 T2.
Now a photo of the original:
Basic kit is the new EC-135 kit of Revell Germany. Most of the helicopter will be built out of the box. Some minor changes have to be done. The Basic kit has the new Inlet Barrier Filter which has to be changed into the old style air intakes. Also the WSPS has to be added (from the EC-145 kit).
I have already the Decals for the new livery:
More Pictures will follow.

Got the open exhauts some weeks ago from Lone Star Models, before he closed his onlineshop again. I already did one conversion (USCG Jayhawk) by using the open ones from the Taiwan Hawk set.
But now one of my further proejcts is, to build one of the new S-70i Firehawk birds (SDFD or CAL Fire).
Thanks
