AB 206 Vigili del Fuoco

Peter Schmitt
It looks great! Do you happen to have pictures of the interior?

Yose Dutto
First, thanks for your comment. About the interior pictures no unfortunately, sorry Peter. It was, how to say...a fun project between major projects, so I didn't really took pictures of the building process on this one. For a brief description: interiors are light grey, the seats and the dashboard light blue, the rest of the control panels black. The collective and cyclic handle brown. I have scratch builded the passenger seats using Milliput as the kit comes with a military set up, with an ammunition crate and a mini gun. I have "transformed" the crate to a tool box...I couldn't find picture of thermal thing interiors but I have tried to guess from the one that I got...

Nicely done!

Peter Schmitt
Thank you Yose!

I'm asking, because I am building a Jet Ranger myself. I use the 1:72 kit by Italeri, and it is a service model too, so no interior in the rear. I want to convert it to a civil version, so anything helps 🙂 Thanks for the description!I see a lot of scratch building in my future too, as the Italeri chopper doesn't even come with a cyclic pitch handle.. It's bare minimum.

What I'm interested in: The divider wall between the front and rear compartment. I remember it just being a kind of a strut from the ceiling to the floor, not a complete wall. How is it like in your model?

Yose Dutto
No wall on my model. But because our discussion I have found this facebook.com/traspor..938216323&type=3

Yose Dutto
I will use those pictures as reference in the future

Lee Fogel
Very nice work! Love the paint...you did a fine job.

Peter Schmitt
These pictures show the military version is exactly like the Italeri kit says it is. I wonder about the civilian version...

Nice find though!

Yose Dutto
Thanks Joe and Lee!

Yose Dutto
@Peter: I think that the civil version isn't that different from the one in the pictures. I will try to find out from a Facebook group with a lot of Italians helicopter enthusiast and let you know

Peter Schmitt
That would be really awesome, Yose! If you want to see how my 206 is coming along (I just started), it's here: Bell 206 Jet Ranger | Project by pope1701 (1:72)
