Nice project.
One of the best looking helicopters I´ve seen so far.
I´m realy looking forward to what you´re making out of this kit.

Hi Ice,
pls what`s the difference between the two rotorhead types? And could you explain a little bit more your building steps. It would be great to learn more about this nice chopper from an "Nordic-Expert" who`s hard on the real thing! I have this version also on my wishlist but no realy useable informations about the Navyversion. Thx for sharing!

The TTH has manually foldable blades, the blades are mounted to a simple yoke with just two pins.
The NFH features automatic blade folding, so you have a more bulky yoke with en embedded electric motor/drive package.
As an image is worth more than a thousand words, compare these two pages

@Mathias: I'll do my best. 🙂
@Dirk: Burkhard is right. The NFH-Motorhead has much more "flesh" because of the automatic blade fold. If Revell would have made a NFH-rotorhead it would be much easier to fold the rotor because it would be more material to find a good place for the "cut". I think I'll have to rebuild it.
It would be nice if it was possible to add a small text to every picture. That would make it easier to do a WIP.
@Burkhard: Very good explanation! 🙂

Freut mich, dass du rein schaust und auf deine Mail! Bist du zum Flyout in Kiel?

Das Flyout lasse ich mir auf keinen Fall entgehen! 🙂 Ich weiß nur noch nicht ob alleine für den einen Tag oder mit Frauchen für ein langes Wochenende.

Flyout? Wann ist denn das?

Vom 22. bis 25. Juni soll das Flyout vom MFG 5 in Kiel stattfinden. Die müssen ja nach Nordholz umziehen. Am 23. Juni ist ein Spottersday geplant.

Burkhard D
Okay, danke. Der 23. ist vorgemerkt. 🙂
