Title: Focke Achgelis 1:48 from Fly Models
Post by: Kiteman on April 12, 2015, 06:32:19 PM

Something a bit different for me..a helicopter. This model is very small and lots of tiny pieces and etched brass. Have picked up tips from Tony B re- etched brass so am not so worried about it.....lets see how it goes. Have also decided on the stand for this when it is finished, will be based on the attached photo.

In my helicopter modelling days I always fancied one of these but never got round to it.

I think that this will be my helicopter modelling days, it is a bit of a bu$$er to get together....very small bits......now I appreciate Tony`s work even more......who the hell invented etched brass!!!

Beautiful and petite.
No, Kiteman, not you.................................... the Focke Achgelis.

Seriously though, very nice work, and well done with the brass first time around.

nearly finished, just some cabeling and control wires to get on. The base for this model was made by my better half Doro, and a good Job she`s done too I think.

Very impressive indeed and not at all "Käselich" - well done Doro.

Well done Kiteman ( and Doro!)

Looks very realistic. it makes you wonder if the poor guys who went up aloft in these were either naïve or just very brave.
An interesting and different subject.
