Erwin Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 (edited) Hi all, I'm starting a quick build for my club's contest. This year's theme is "red cross". I got this kit from Jack with the promise that I would build it.

Dukie99 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 (edited) I built this kit (in its Revell reboxing) for the "Mostly Civil GB". It is a nice kit that shows its age (lots of flash and prepping necessary) but the good surprise was that the transparency was a good fit. Sadly I lost this kit while cleaning up the display cabinet, maybe I will do another one in the future but after the building the KH Blackhawks in all its iterations...

The instructions are basic.It will take some time to understand them. I shall build it "out of box". I need to enter some build in our contest. And I did promise Jack,who gave me this kit,to build it just for that reason. Edited April 10, 2019 by Erwin Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was unaware that Revell ever re-boxed the MRC kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ol' Scrapiron Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 In case it helps, here are a few of my pics of the OH-13E Sioux (Military version of the Model 47 D-1) 51-13934 on display at the Evergreen Aviation Museum in 2015. In the background is some sort of big airplane made out of wood... mostly spruce I think. - - - ----- and the OH-13E Sioux 51-14175 I photographed last year at the Yanks Air Museum in Chino - I also have pics of other variants of the Model 47 but the later versions are a bit different. Let me know if you'd like to see them in case there is some sort of value as reference shots. Erwin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The canopy is molded without frames. Edited April 12, 2019 by Erwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
