did i read a Guppy?

The venerable Super Guppy?

My God!....

I am actually hesitating between five models to build. It's one of those days where I don't seem to be able to make my mind up. and then I switch from one model to the other without really getting results. That doesn't make me happy. :(

Here is the relevant category at Wikimedia Commons.

The French Air Force has a unit of CSAR helicopters that are equiped for air refueling (EH 1/67 Pyrénées using Eurocopter EC725 Caracal) but no tankers for them. They're usually refueled by italian or US Hercules (as can be seen in this month issue of Air Fan).

(just to be clear: it's not a request )

Yes it is Bruno's, a bargain in 1/100 recolored as Royal Navy. Not totally kosher since the mark is not the same and the tail unit should be rounder, reduced 25% to 1/400. You may want to reduce it to 1/200 and totally doable.

ps: Bruno, I do not know if you follow the WC, so congratulation for Belgium

Hope you like it

Bruno

Dear Bruno:
We like these helicopters a lot!!!
I have a request if it is not to much trouble. Could you post one of the earlier S-65 / CH-53 (twin engine, six blade main rotor) white or non-color for recoloring? No rush.
Best regards.

How life can be odd sometimes. Yesterday I asked my wife to choose a number between 1 and 6 because I was considering 6 different models to build. She chose 6 which led to the Aerospatiale AS330 Puma. And behold, this morning I read a mail from Carlos talking about the Caracal which was developped from the Super Puma. Coincidence or mind reading?

Anyhow, here is the model in four different liveries. My test build was Ok apart from a little trimming on the engine intakes and a very thin main rotor shaft. All should be arranged now.

Hope you like it.

What can I say....I have only done 3 repaints in Aluette III and Chinook and it took me 2 days. The 2nd Chinook is still not done and you have pumped out of the production line half a dozen more models....(probably more). By the way, are you planning on having a Super Puma following suite or is it Ok for us commoners to try and add the "missing" parts?

Be my guest. So I can work on something new.
Thanks in advance
