Sikorsky CH-34C

Hi! everyone. Oldtimer just means I'm oldish, new to card modelling.
I have made a few free models and am wanting to try something more adventure's. I have seen a model on youtube, Sikorsky CH - 34C Seahorse in 1/32 scale. There are glimpses of some packaging which has the word ModelArt on it. Can any one help me to locate this kit, the internet draw's a blank for me.
Not sure if this is the correct way to ask for help.

Oldtimer,
I built Modelart's H-34 Medevac kit several years ago (same bird, same kit, different livery). Designer Emil Zarkov is a wizard and his kits are truly excellent.

One hint: After some experimentation, I decided the best way to build the curved nose is to build it as a unit, attach the sidewalls to it, then slide the whole assembly onto the formers and frame. That turned out much better than trying to assemble the skin piece by piece onto the frame. If that doesn't make sense, or if you have any other questions as you go along, rattle my cage.

Also, I used thin basswood strips from Midwest for spars in the rotor blades. After 10 years or so, they are still straight.

The resulting model has earned lots of oohs and ahs at plastic modeler meets, and it has been in two different scale model exhibits at the EAA AirVenture Museum in Oshkosh, WI. I have built a few of Emil's other 1/32 kits and they are all exceptional. His instructions are among the best, too. My MiG-3 and Whirlwind are pictured here.

Hello Oldtimer,

it is never too late...

Here are two links to building reports. The only obstacle might be that they are in german but perhaps they help. The second link is a scaling up to 1:25, that is a good sign for the kit fitness.
