thierry laurent Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Hi guys, While I was looking after something else, I found that kit. I was somewhat puzzled as I've never heard anything about it. I guess this is probably linkled to the fact this looks to be a kit intended to fly! Nonetheless, I think this may interest some of you as most of the shapes do not look bad. So, heres the ebay link: https://www.befr.ebay.be/itm/184657532267?hash=item2afe72556b:g:pjgAAOSwU0Vd3v5p BTW the same seller has other kits such as a 1/18th scale Gazelle, a 1/35th Bell 412, etc. !

thierry laurent Posted July 5, 2021 Author Share Posted July 5, 2021 BTW, I also found a 1/32 scale kit of the Tiger attack helicopter: https://www.befr.ebay.be/itm/184067855721?hash=item2adb4c9569:g:A6EAAOSwsCdd5d5E Basic but currently there is no other option.

Landrotten Highlander Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Been looking at the German site - am very tempted by the little thing that was on Cousteau's Calypso. Saw the man himself live when I was about 6 or 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landrotten Highlander Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 I know, I do believe a dedicated group in France is attempting to get her (the ship) back to restore her. Wishing them luck in that endeavour. Anthony in NZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersonic Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Boys , I think I must disappoint all of us ... I've done a bit of mathematic and checked my drawings ... 430 mm fuselage length is way to short for 1/35 ! Seems more to be a fiddly fuse based on the New-Ray Toy SeaKing which is closer to be 1/40 than 1/35 or even 1/32 . I also noticed the missing wave in the upper front fuselage . It is very prominent when you look to the upper edges of the front door . And the missing panel lines and no rivets at all ... Sorry , no way .
