BK-117 A3 DOUBLE FIRST FLIGHT

[Aluxe]

Hi guys

Interesting Group Build, fits perfectly with my problems, because it doubles parts to build Helicopter. Double seat, double remote control, collective double, double landing skid and often twin-engine, twin rudder, two doors on each side, are almost always well ...

I want to realize my crazy idea of ​​having a Military Helo every American country and if possible without repeating the model! ... already finished my first, a 1/32 HH-43 Huskie Testors USAF.

 

 

and now is the turn to a second model, I would like to participate with the 1/32 Revell 04402 Bk-117,

 

The model:

After considering several options, I decided to build the MBB-117 kit that militarized American countries Helo I know this only two Colombia and Chile, My decision made ​​quickly for their showy: the Colombian Helo

.

 

 

This model has a few in my view detail, and with a little scratch to see who did it.

So let's start ...
This model does not come with the doors open, with fine knife # 11, patience and a bit of force, start the cuts. The drivers door was more delicate, the front post is too thin. If problems resulted.

 

 

Interested adjust the profile of the nose, so we removed the same way

 

This image corresponds to the cuts.

 

Then I make holes to the cabinet control panel

 

and by the time it's all folks .. success with their projects

Hello friends

 

Another known event that might classify this work as is Double Trouble
 

The first flight for the Navy of the Republic of Colombia of this helicopter was on December 22, 2005, unfortunately seven years later he suffered an emergency landing with severe damage, and May this year, he made his second first flight ie one Double Trouble resolved

and now here with some progress

 

I started renovating the space where I put the sliding door

 

here appreciates the space where the door post

 

A) I put poles reinforcements and air intake duct
installed guide cover
C) space was left for the gate guides
D) undercover adjusted the outer frame
E) as I said the air intake was opened
F) We had to attach styrene to align the door
G) snap the plastic frame with styrene
H) removal of the rear doors.

 

by the time it's all greetings

Wow, that is fantastic indeed!!!!

 

You are doing an inspiring job, and I am in awe of your work.  You want to check out ARC, Niek (Seaking Pilot) is building a Revell 32nd BK as well and is top stuff.  You might want to check his out as well.  Let me know if I can offer any help

 

Cheers

Hi Anthony

 

oh yes, I need a lot of help ... always 

'm locating references, only work with what little I've seen ...and I saw each other and work Seaking Pilot interesting to know that several projects have this Helo ... maybe we create a new group construcción.jjj welcome all the help and suggestion. 

 

ummm I think the first will get better camera ... greetings

Hi Andromeda673

 

thanks for your good comments,,,

 

[Aluxe]

Now, a small advance

 

inner panels to fit windows 

 

in this kit, once you open doors, you'll see that the deck does not fit to the inside panels, you need to add 3.5mm styrene.

 

the door is already aligned to the pillar and slide smoothly

 

making panels for pillars.

 

by the time it's all folks,, seems little ...   ...

[mark31]

Great work i know what time that cost to make the details.

Keep up the good work.
