1:48 Aerospatiale SA360 Dauphin

Post by Cherrylock »

this is the very early satart of the Dauphin family, only on engine, no radar nose and a very different land gear, only a some were build and very not realy good, twin engine was more powerful and with less fibrations
the french navy has one of single engine SA360A in service

build from the 1978 kit from Heller, decals from sparebox

Well done. Somewhat of an odd looking hello, now I know why.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Looks very different with the tail wheel instead of tricycle gear

:shoutout: The paint scheme and spatted wheels sure do give this chopper something of a throwback look. Thank you for sharing another of your rarely seen subject type builds.

Definitely has Aérospatiale lines. Already had the tail fan I see.
Thanks,
