on 40*30 cm... by me

The German Federal Bureau of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance has started a new era in its helicopter operations. The first two orange colored EC-135 were handed over to the Bureau. The new helicopter will replace all BO-105 (still in use at ten bases) and Bell 212 (two bases).

The new helicopters are equipped for HEMS, utilizing the quick change AAT Air Ambulance Technology, the navigation system EuroNav IV, SatCom, and the HELLAS obstacle warning system. They will be flown by pilots of the Federal Police, the medical crea will come from the local station operator.

Besides HEMS they will perform observation, emission control and transportation duties.....

The 2 helicopters are based in Kempten and Traunstein, those cities are located in the south of Germany... in *hawk* Bavaria....

The helicopter that will protect ME, will be the D-HZSC, which will be based in Cologne / Mehrheim. There's still flying a BO-105 CBS-5..... beautiful....

The EC-135 will come to Cologne in May or June.

Well, I've to say that I've no pictures right now..... so you get another eye-candy.

Ah, I forgot something, for the build I've those kits, all from Revell :

EC-135 Air Zermatt 1/32

EC-145 REGA

and maybe an EC-135 of the ADAC, but I don't know yet whether I'll use it or not...

Greetings

the kits from left to right :

EC-135 Air Zermatt, EC-145 REGA, EC-135 ADAC

The interieur.... the bottom plate is from the EC-145... the EC-135 is all in all smaller.

I use the EC-145 because it's just the better kit.

pitchs and sticks are fabulous, seats are modified

sl553148da0.jpg

The panel... I added 4 switchers (fire off and FADEC)

The middle console

Hey :cheers: thank you, I think I'll use a part of the EC-135 nose, that will fit..

I know it doesn't look that nice now... but that's what I made today.

Those edges are wires

Without any color it looks really dumb... but those are the first steps... :banana:

Ps: Oka, >someone< told me, that this dark grey box behind the middle console belongs to the Federal Police and not to the new heli.... x_x okay, it was crooked anyway

Nice work. So, the interior pieces come from the EC145 kit? The instrument panels of that kit do have detailing, unlike the 'decal only' EC135..?

Cheers,

Andre

yes, it's really well detailled.... I just had to join to displays to one.

sl553175ci5.jpg

The displays get black again, after dry washing this morning, well or "in flight" (means electric and board computer on, etc.), but that's all so small and I don't know how to make it....

A part of the skids... mainly for the use of a winch, but it won't get one

We called it the "Uli-Strebe", the upper drawing is the normal kit piece.

Sticks and pitchs.

sl553187aw0.jpg

and I added every single switch.... terrible work.

Not much progress, but some:

Nothing glued, just to see how it'll look like.

Has anyone an idea to make those nice rescue bags ?.... cos finding a good material for that is difficult :)

The seats will be modified further on.

Ps: The HEMS (left seat) will get no controls.

thank you :beer4:

Well I decided to make it with the left door open. There are several reasons, one is that there'll be a gab when you put the two halves together and there's no way to get there - just thru this door.

So I use the door of the EC-145 kit. This door is longer, so I gotta shorten it.

And it fits :) the window is just one'a'half mm to short (height), that will be no problem.

At the rear you can see holes for the rear window, which is not part of that kit.

Thank you all :)

To see so many comments is very motivating.

Well...no... you'll see

The doc's seat, the overhead panel and the small cabinet.

The pilot's and medic's seat.

pimped with left over parts from an Eduardo photo-etched parts kit for an 1/48 Huey.

Sad that you won't see so much, when the modell is finished.

And just to see how it'll look like:

Some small progress :

I bought some very good plastic sheet :thumbsup:

and so I'm building the rear cabin, the left side fitted right away, but the right side didn't.
