Bell 206B Jet Ranger in scale 1:25

[Lasse D]

Last year I started this topic asking for a real model of the helicopter from 5590.

I would like to thank the members who helped finding ideas for which helicopter to build. This is the result

This is a Bell 206B Jet Ranger in scale 1:25

The number on the side reads "5590" just as the number of the doors of the helicopter from 5590

I have used Griddy to assist in the planning of the model

The doors open

And inside there is a full interior with four seats in the rear

It already looked great from the outside with all the SNOT techniques. But than I saw the pictures with the doors opened... That's some seriously smart building to get that much space inside such a model.

Well done

Tell us the secret with the Technic, Axle and Pin Connector Angled #3 , maybe pneumatic hoses?.

Thanks guys. I'm glad you like it.

Thank you. The SNOT'ing in this model is more extreme than I have ever tried before - especially the nose with the ½-plate offsets was a challenge to get right.

I have cheated and cut a Technic Flex-System Hose into 2L pieces. This and the stickers in the center of the letters (cut from an original sticker sheet) are the two places that I had to cheat in this model.
