MD-500 Finland-OBP/Murph's Models
A recolor of MD-500 by Aaron as used by Ilmavoimat (Finnish Air Forces).
Rather simple recolor done based on 5 period photos of original from (I guess) 1980s before transfer of MD-500s to Maavoimat (Finnish Land Army).After transfer size of all markings was drastically reduced and hi-vis orange glo removed altogether.Finn MD-500s were never armed and were (and still are) used for training,liaison communication and whatever else brass comes up with. Recolor was easy,building it in original size was a bit harder.Model send to Aaron has some modifications not seen on pictures here but general idea is just the same. This is I think my second heli build ever.Interesting experience and I will repeat it with something else. |

Bonus-couple of pix of Ryan Firebee.I found used printer in Salvation Army for pennies and this is print on it-yellow turned out pink...oh,well.
Still very interesting model imho. Edit-both model require weight in nose if build in original size.Screw,fishing weight,nut.Pick your favorite. |

Echoing Don- nice work. The Firebee is certainly different.

I did. It's in my "When I can get to it" folder. Gotta make a white version of the model first.
