VHSOUSA Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Hello fellow modellers, Here I present you my construction of 1/72 Aloeuttes III from the 552 Squadron of the Portuguese Air Force. The kits are from Heller, the quality of them are not so good but with the photoetch from Extratech and some dedication, pacience and steady work it can come out a pretty nice machine. The Heller Kit and the Extratech PE Reduce the thickness of plastic for opening and detail holes From the two engine versions I chose to turn them in one with “free†exhaust Quote Link to post Share on other sites

VHSOUSA Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 Why do I build in 1/72? And why helicopters? And why do I make them with open doors? … and here they are finished I hope you enjoyed Best Regards Vitor Sousa Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tank Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Why do I build in 1/72? And why helicopters? And why do I make them with open doors? Cause you are very good at it? Great job on the small details. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Loach Driver Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 You've done a lovely job on that pair of Alouettes. The Heller kit is not that bad, it is just a little basic in places. It is a great model to build if you are into super-detailing. The engine is fully exposed and the interior has no quilting either so you can add all that detail if you want. LD.
