[MOC] 42113 B Model — Boeing Chinook CH-47

[Ngoc Nguyen]

 

Transport massive loads with this amazingly detailed Boeing Chinook CH-47! Kids aged 11 and up and adults will love building an authentic motorized replica of this famous heavy lift aircraft.
 
Feature:
 
- This replica is packed with a wealth of authentic features, including the distinctive nose-up posture, aerodynamic belly-big fuselage, and iconic bewildered rear face.
 
- Other details include rows of 1 square and 4 round windows, navigation lights, cargo spaces, back benches, rear mount’s air outlet and slopes, rear inverted T-shaped nose, and turboshaft engines.
 
- The model also features a striking color scheme, with an authentic dark grey background, bright orange highlights, and light grey mid-body accent lines.
 
- Delight in the perpetually perplexed wide-open exhaust-pipe eyes and the drooping ramp jaw!
 
- Turn on the switch to bring the model to life and watch the rotors spin!
 
- Remove the switch to ensure maximum safety when swooshing the aircraft around!
 
- Lower the rear ramp and start loading cargos!
 
- Hook outsized containers to underside ports and perform incredible sling load operations!
 
- Combine with spare parts to rebuild this model into a V-22 Bell-Boeing Osprey or a Sikorsky CH-53 King Stallion!
 
- Young builders will enjoy an immersive and rewarding building experience
 
- Experienced builders will enjoy the familiar presence of standard building techniques, including axle blocks, form locks, safety clutches, and marriages.
 
- This helicopter toy set requires 6 x AA batteries (not included) for the battery box to power all of the cool motorized functions included in this powerful model.
 
- The model measures 5’’ (14 cm) high, 24’’ (60 cm) long, and 13’’ (34 cm) wide.
 
- This model is designed to provide an immersive and rewarding building experience.

There's no video because I don't have equipment and editing skills, unfortunately. I'd love to see someone have a try at this model and record a review video of some sorts.

Nice Art work, it looks like the Official B-Model 

👏

Someone built the B model I designed and filmed it in action!

Really cool model, and easily worth a B-Model :-) but should be banned due to the military aspect.

One question: Did you swap the original battery box for the reason of size or did you just want to maintain a bigger cargo area?

It wasn't me and my own model in the video; it was someone else and their model. They built the model from a 42113 clone set from one of the Chinese clone brand, which naturally doesn't contain any electronics. Therefore they had to use a substitute motor and battery box.

It's funny that I submitted this thing to Lego Idea under the name of Boeing Vertol 234 (the civilian version of Chinook), and it was still rejected.

I am fairly sure TLC put this model of a VTOL aircraft in a locker and waiting 3...5 years and doing a non-licensed civilian version again.

I've just added a Manual version, so that people that can't buy the dumb battery box or don't want to can build this model as well. 

The spinning function is controlled by a knob in the back. That means this model doesn't have a battery box and a motor. Because of that, the interior has been completely redesigned. The appearance and proportions doesn't change, but the inside is different. Therefore this version has a completely different part list and is listed as a separate model.

I love the presentation of the model!

Master Grohl likes my model!

 

This is the ultimate validation!!
