Thai Paperworks Boeing A-160

[Knife]

I picked up Nobi's A-160 drone over at ecardmodels.com (1/48 Boeing A-160 Hummingbird Paper Model). It's a nice little kit of a subject seldom seen. It is actually two kits in one, since it has both a 1/48 scale model and a 1/72 scale model included. The model is typical Nobi, with bulkheads and joining strips included on the parts sheets. Being mostly white, the model won't take much ink to print out. It includes an actual landing gear bay, not just a blacked out section on the fuselage. It wouldn't take much to seal off the landing gear bay if you wanted to make it an inflight model.

The kit includes 3 sheets of well made assembly diagrams. Just follow the diagrams you shouldn't have any problems. The only changes I made to the kit was to reinforce the landing gear with a straight pin, and using a straight pin as an axle to allow the main rotor to rotate. The nice thing about models from Thai Paperworks is that all the markings line up perfectly.

The only complaint I have for the model is that the tail rotor is too simplified. A little more detail would have been nice. But other than that it's a nice little model to build up on a rainy day.
