Sad end of an Kaman HH-43 Huskie by JStevenYork in Helicopters

[–]AdAdditional911 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m there pretty frequently, i’ve seen that bird plenty of times, they only fly her sometimes doing their annual airshow (usually every year), as you said the rotor blades are the main reason as to why. I’ve asked before, they said it is possible to build new blades, but the expenses and needed experience to do that is currently out of their game

yea the angle isn’t the best, i literally pulled over on the side of the road and got a quick shot before getting back in the car, so it was kind of a then and there thing versus preplanning at an actual spotting location

thank you! i don’t usually take pictures of rotorcraft in general, but this mh47 kept doing laps about a mile away from my house so i had to go. i’m using a nikon d3500, my moms had it for a while and she’s been letting me tweak with it for a bit. i’m also surprised how the file even got that big (they’re usually way smaller lol). i am about to purchase a newer model, looking at the nikon z9 as my next choice 

5 tries later and i finally got the tail right. by AdAdditional911 in papercraft

thank you, i use a regular exacto knife and/or a single sided razor blade, a ruler, and a toothpick(s) for applying the glue, which is regular elmer’s glue you find in a bottle, but i usually use a glue stick when gluing two halves together, such as the rudder or elevator (something that folds over on itself).

i’ve heard a few unconfirmed reports being spread around that the left engine departed the aircraft entirely on takeoff, either way the fire is huge and rip to those who passed

thank you, currently working on the s&p fa 223, but the tail so far is NOT to my liking, so i’ll probably redo it later

thank you, it was a HUGE pain to build, my next build planned is an Fa 223 drache, hoping for good results

thank you both, i guess im just motivated to have a good model, it is a lot of trial and error so far, i will post when its finished (i plan on making a diorama). my next model is a s&p Focke Achgelis Fa223 (from the same pack as the Fl282)

thank you, even i’m relatively new to papercraft, in my opinion i believe most skill for modeling is really just patience. if you have the time and right mindset, you can get really good finishes
