BK-117 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 (edited) Hello !! Because of finishing my BO-105 CBS Police project in the next few days , i want to show you my next project. Before i begin with my EC-145 Lee County , i have decided to build this project first. Basic kit for my newest project will be the new Dragon UH-1N. EC-145 , BK-117 and EC-135 kit parts will be added to build the medical interior. Some parts have also to be scratched , like the higher skids , the winch , some parts of the interior and , as biggest thing, the conversion , that makes a Bell 412 out of a Bell UH-1N. Here the basic kit: and here a photo , what my project should look like if ready: Hope you will follow my build with the same interest , as you have done on my BO-105 build. First photos of my progress will follow , when my BO is ready. Greetings Michael Edited July 27, 2008 by BK-117 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony in NZ Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Cooool, now I am really going to be interested in this build. I have one in the early stages started and put it down for a couple of reasons. Cant wait to see how this one turns out. Cheers Anthony Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BK-117 Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 Hello ! It is time for a update on my Bell 412. Because of having no photos of interior details of this Bell 412 , i want to build , i have to do the medical interior from other helicopters of this type. Today i have installed the oxylog 2000 , that helps patients to breath , the EKG and the perfusors. The stretcher was taken from the EC-135 kit and the medical backpack from the EC-145 kit. The storage cabinet is scratched. next steps to do: - installing the seats (taken from BK-117 kit for the medical interior) , original seats in the cockpit - glueing together the two halves Greetings Michael Quote Link to post Share on other sites
