Hi Shep great progress, it becomes art Norbert

Hi So it is close to 1/35 ? gives me some ideas... Norbert

A 1/15 Mi-2 ? is it correct ? Norbert

Hi for the160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne) amateurs Werners Wings is about to release 75 sets of conversion containing : new pointy nose that will be cast in clear resin new large sponsons : corrected front rotor housing: refuelling probe : sensors, hoist and others new cockpit there should be also a set of flares launchers base model : trumpeter CH-47D in 1/35 (do not take the Alpha version) I already ordered mine... quote : Werner’s Wings 1/35th scale MH-47E Conversion Contract I am asking for a $100 deposit per set to Paypal at fwernerjr@comcast.net or by credit card. This will ensure that you get a conversion set. This money will be used to finance the casting which is quite expensive. With that said, I do not know the release date yet. The total amount will be due at a later date, probably within the next month or two. Currently I do not know the total costs of the project. I’m expecting it to be in the $150-175 range. I do not foresee it going any higher. This is a limited edition of 75 units total of the MH-47E. I may offer an MH-47G model later, depending on sales of the E. I may also offer foreign Chinooks and pieces but at a much later date, again depending on demand and availability. The cockpit/canopy is at the casters being cast in clear resin so you won’t have to mess with clear parts. The other parts are either done or being done in CAD. The refueling probes are being sent to the US as we speak. This set will NOT have decals with it at this time. When the Werner’s Wings releases the Night Stalkers-Part 2, I will provide you with a set of 1/35th scale decals at a reduced price to be determined when they are released. Only modelers who are on the pre-order/deposit/ paid in full list will be allowed this discount. If you know of anyone that might be interested I encourage you to let them know about this project. This is expensive but I think you will be quite satisfied with the finished product. By sending the money you agree to the terms listed above and will receive an MH-47E conversion upon completion of the set AND payment in full. Remember this is a first come, first serve basis. There will be no second run of the MH-47E set. PLEASE PASS THE WORD ON ANY AND ALL FORUMS! If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me at fwernerjr@comcast.net or info@wernerswings.com for those overseas. unquote have a nice day Norbert

Hi designing and building this 1/35 Mi-6A, I may give my opinion on this technology It's an other kind of scratch, much more expensive...well, not always, it depends from the size. So, you can do big : for some hundreds of euro. you can also do small like those connectors for 5 euros You can design a tire in a couple of hours and get it printed in a few days You have always to prime and grain the entire surface, taking care on the details. You can make a master wrong, and correct it without rebuilding it. As a 1/35 helicopter builder, this technic fits me because I can do 1mm thick walls (fuselage) which is good because the helicopter is entirely hollow So, so far, it's an unique model for myself, with the possibility to duplicate at the same costs, maybe only for some rich russians. It is a complement to plastic, scratchbuilding, thermoforming, photoetching. The next step after prototyping is to mill a mold. Do not dream too much, the 1/35 Mi-6 is too big for that, It's CAD learning project. CAD and Microprototyping ? yes, for some impossible parts, or for a dream (crazy) project you can't get an other way And yes, it had not be more work to scratch it from zero, but in this case, next step is impossible. Hope this helps, we will see in time how it moves in the future. Oh, I forgot, you can clean the parts with hot water, prime them with surfacer, paint them, glue them... Norbert

Yes, there are two options : open or closed Norbert

Hi dear modelers I have a question for those who may build large scale helicopters : If you forget you often have no choice,in what scale would you prefer to build a helicopter ? 1/35 to match figures and armour ? 1/32 to match scale of plane collection 1/35 for military and 1/32 for civilian helicopters ? no preference ? thank you for your answers Norbert
