This is a scratchbuilt diorama depicting Sea King SH-3D ser. no. 152711 on her way to pick up the crew of Apollo 11. Helicopter is the Fujimi kit.

Nice effect on the tail rotor. I assume you customized that. |

Thank you both. The tail rotor is to be replaced by one from Prop Blur, photoetched feathered blades, that are beautiful. If you look at pictures of a heli, the main rotor is usually frozen, the tail rotor is the only one that appears to be turning, which I'm sure you know, I was lazy, and ordered a set, rather than photoetch my own. |

Very nice... I guess "abandon chute" is a better slogan than "abandon hope" (ha!)------------------
