Tank Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Anybody know which kits in 1/32 and/or 1/72 would be ideal to kit bash to make the above? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Loach Driver Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I can't see any of the available kits in either scale not being suitable for conversion. I'd guess that Revell might issue their 1/32 and 1/72 kits in the future with the necessary parts to make the EC-145T2. LD. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tank Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) Dang it Bobby! I was hoping to mash together a 135 and 145. Wanted to make a Dare Co bird, given all the work they had done with the shark attacks. Link How about there old bird a BK-117 w/sand filters, with kit/s would be best?

BK-117 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 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.

Tank Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 Cool, I look forward to that.....any ideas on the BK-117 kit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BK-117 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tank Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 Ok I will check as I have a number of older kits in both scales or at least that is what I recall. I didn't know if certain boxes because of mold changes were better then others. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hajo L. Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I built one as well, bashing it out of the EC-135 and the EC-145 kits of Revell. Unfortunately I only have a link to a german work-in-progress threat, but I think the pictures speak for themselves: http://www.modellboard.net/index.php?topic=52298.0 HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Only the Medicopter boxing in 1:32 scale has a proper (European) medical interior, although the cabin sidewalls have severe fit issues...

BK-117 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) As promised some photos of my two EC-145T2 scale 1/32: Photo of the scratched tail (2 tails of the old EC-135 kit and a lot of putty): Completed model of DRF Luftrettung: And the East Anglian Air Ambulance EC-145T2 still in Progress: Greetings Michael Edited July 1, 2015 by BK-117 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
