Model team "Black Thunder" remake

[FROGG]

Hey everyone, this is my latest project, a remake of the model team set 5542.

Feature list:

1. Top rotor and rear rotors spin simultaneously.

2. Detailed cockpit and interior

3. Adjustable seats for pilot, co-pilot and passengers. Under the passenger seat are two compartments for storage, i tossed a few drinks inside. Behind the pilots and co-pilots seats are map holders.

4. Fake engine compartment

5. Opening brick built doors

6. Rotating search light under the body

Your helicopter looks much more robust than the standard 5542 set!

Interesting to see where you've gone with this, FROGG, but I'm not so sure I like the overall look. One thing that I always liked about the original model is that it is nice and sleek, like an executive helicopter. Your model looks more robust, as DLuders mentions, but I don't think that's an improvement. I also think the tail rotor looks much too small.

I like the interior detail and the technique you used for the windscreen though.

Cheers,

Ralph
