Scale Winter project

[fran11784]

Ok folks, trying to decide on a winter project. Thoughts? The 407 is 700 size, the MD500, 800 size and the R22 is a Vario 600 size.

if it was me I'm leaning toward the 407 bell.

407 has my vote too.

Also wanted to update on my winter project. I did choose the green Bell 407. And Geena, thanks to you and my friend Tim I'm now hooked on Kotronik. I have a Kosmik 170 for this build. I'll post some pictures along the way.

When she's built, will be awesome

The MD500 is an easier project, more room, but with your experience the Bell407 would be a more satisfying build.

Hard to believe this bird was used during the Vietnam war "Bell Ranger OH-58". Could sneak up on the enemy without them being aware. She was used more in observation flights rather than as a gunship. All that change a few years later, when she was out fitted with advance avionics and weapons. This made her into one of the most deadly army helicopters for her size. Made her mark and reputation during the Gulf war. Small enough to hide behind sand dunes and suddenly pop out and give the Iraqis a fit . She is still in use among cavalry scout units. Match her with an Apache Gunship helicopter and you created HELL
