Seems to me Testor had a plastic model of a Kaman Huskie, you had the choice of making it in USAF service or as a state firefighting helicopter, Oregon I think. What I wish I could find a model of whould be an autogiro, I know Fiddler's Green has one, but I gotta stick to free downloads untill I can get gainfully employed again!

there are also two inexpensive historic autogyro models from Lad-n-Dad available are ecardmodels. One is a British made Cievra, the other an American Pitcairn.

You are correct about the plastic Kaman Huskie kit; Testor's is still producing it from the original Hawk mold. In common with the time when the model was made, the kit as a lot of "action features", including opening rear clamshell doors.

I got on a 10 year kick of collecting hawk kits. One is the Husky still in factory shrink. A real cool kit.

I used to have a plastic model of a Huskie, years ago. Unfortunately it got lost in all the moves I've been through in the past couple years.

And the Skyvan wins!

Model is done. 1 version so far, Austrian Army (I think) It was the only version I could find multiple images of that wasn't too complicated.

Wasn't that chopper you put up the views of a Bell? Seems to me I saw that someplace captioned as being from Bell Helicopters years ago.

Which one? The one Ryan Short put up was the Cessna CH-1.

Hmm. I just noticed that I'm only 3 models away from having 30 models up for sale (not counting the freebies).

I should do something big and special for the big 3 - 0.

Oh oH I know I know .. B-2 at 1:1 scale?

but seriously. You have my many suggestion of the past and any of those would be great.

B-2 at 1:1 hmm? I'll have to do some research and see what a vitamin B-2 pill looks like :-P

Actually, I decided to give the Martin Seamaster a try. I just gotta figure out how to make it so it's not microscale. I did the Short Skyvan, and it came out 1:40 and looks tiny.
