Tim Bradley Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 David, OUTSTANDING! Can you spray a paint chip and send it to me so I can get a close match for the Star of Life logo? Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AirMedical Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Hey Dave Hope all is well. It appears LifeNet is making their mark in my area as they have down sized our local UH MedEvac from BK-117's to the EC-135's with the LifeNet paint scheme. So now I have to to finish making those 1/32 LifeNet decals I started. Drop me an offline email. Be safe and be well. John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aaronw Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Cool! I am here for whatever you need! Can't wait to start this GB... I think it is going to be really popular. I have to say I am pleasantly surprised to see it generating interest. I've tried to get similar GB's off the ground at FSM and had little interest shown. It looks like we may have a solid 15+ people already lined up. I've had to occupy myself with completely different subjects (WW1 & interwar fighters) to avoid the temptation of a false start, only 9 days to go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As far as 1 and 3, yes I do have the logos but I will be making the decals custom so if you would like a set... no problem... send me your address and I will get some out to you.

Cagie Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I love all of them but I lean owards number 6. I think its mediflight ?? the blue and yellow version. Either way it appears the Eurocopter is very popularin the US for Aeromedical, however please feel free to correct me. Either way Im looking forward to seeing the end result, best of luck.

Cagie Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 It's interesting to see that most of the pics show the choppers sporting the wire cutters but the Northwest Medstar helo is not sporting the said wire cutters. Can someone explain this reason to me...please. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tim Bradley Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 It's really up to the operator, it's like air bags in your car, some have them, others don't. but you know it's much safer with them. In helicopters, it's the wires you don't see that will kill you. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Remington Box Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010 Can someone explain to me what a wire cutter does? I thought it was just slang... But according to Tim they actually do something? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Albert Moore Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 They're for cutting power lines, guide wires, cables, or anything else that could get tangled up in the rotor and/or airframe (power lines and the like are one of the biggest hazards to low flying helicopters). There are usually three to four (more or less depending on the helicopter type) mounted in various frontal positions. Cheers, Alby Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hooknladderno1 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 (edited) Either way it appears the Eurocopter is very popularin the US for Aeromedical, however please feel free to correct me. Cagie, You ar correct. Many operators in the US find that the Eurocopter airframes fit their mission profiles well, and contain operating and maintenance costs. In my experience, the EC-135 is the most popular, followed second by the 145. Some programs do primarily emergency scene calls and can use a smaller aircraft and fly with three person crew. Other programs do more "interfacitlity" or "hospital to hospital" transfers. These often require more equipment(=more space and heavier payload required) , or larger specialty teams. My program does mostly interfacility transfers including very sick newborn babies, heart patient requiring large and heavy machines- that require re-arranging the helicopter to accomodate these types of patients. The smaller airframes limit your access to the patient and most care needs to be done prior to loading in the aircraft. Some of the programs that have higher call volumes or need the larger space/capacity can justify the larger EC-145's , Bell 412's or Sikorsky S-76's. Many other programs utilize smaller airframes, more compact transport equimpent, and limiit their missions to specific types. This helps to contain costs. It is interesting to look at a certain region and see the types of services providing emergency medical services from governmental agencies(local, county, state, and federal) , hospital based and community based. I didn't know all of the differences, complexitites, and politics invloved until I joined a flight team four years ago. I look forward to seeing the variety of aircraft that are built in the upcoming Rescue Group Build. David Edited January 28, 2010 by hooknladderno1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Remington Box Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 I have decided. I can't wait for this GB to start! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ArtworksIII Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Hi Guys, Whats the status on this GB? Seems as though it fizzeled out. Were there any of the above paintschemes achieved? I've been gone for awhile so I'm out of the fray somewhat :wub: :P Good to be back Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Cameraman Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Hi Guys n Gals, in Lancashire , England, we have a couple of EC135T2's, in the medivac role. One of which is operated out of my local airfield, so if any of you require any internal or external shots then let me know what you want and I'll click away. The schemes aren't anything to right home about but the airframe's and kit are fabulous! Regards Reggie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ArtworksIII Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Hi Reggie, I believe the EC looks good in zinc as they are when they're being built. The 145 doesn't do any justice other than more room. The 145 employs the Bk tail section wich I think was the halmark of the 135 as the fenstron makes the helicopter easy on the eye. Don't know what to say about any kits as I make my own models from wood. For me it's the model as a paint scheme rather than the model as a space taker. This type of helicopter modeling is lost in the overall importance of military aircraft. General aviation has been my passion for 30 years. Again painting two schemes on one model is a space saver as if one gets tired of the present then turn it the other direction. The UK has alot of neat functional paint schemes :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ArtworksIII Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 (edited) Hi guys, Here is part of a build photo to see if it brings intrest back to this thread.

Cheers John Hi John, We have an old STAT BK-117 out here in Spokane. I'm surprised how big the type is. My models are all 1/35th. Were you able to find my photobucket profile? the EC is one of my favorite carves. Hopefully the guys who started this thread will get serious about his intentions and chime in.
