Heeresflieger

This is the former training helicopter with the German army. The school is called "Heeresflieger- Waffenschule Bückeburg" (~ Army pilots flight school) near Hannover. Bückeburg is the center of the German helicopter fans and experts.

Bückeburg has a helicopter museum, the only one of its kind in Germany.  There you can see Bell 47s, Bo-105, Bo-108 (Prototype of the EC-135), Bk-117, Mi-1 /-2,  H-21C,  S-58, KA-26, Husky II and many more.

They've also a Mi-24V and a Mi-8 @ ETHB, the airport of Bückeburg, it's military, unfortunately.

I worked on it for half year, special things are the course string (indicator), the rotor-head and the engine.

In reality the decals don't look that strange, they don't have this glossy effect.

The sticks, seats and doors are detailled, too.

It's a Revell kit for 10 Euro :P
