Sikorsky HO4-S1 – REVELL – 1/48
Model finalized in 2009 contemplating a Revell kit Sikorsky HO4-S1 enriched with various details in scrathbuilding.
Many details are functional (motor collapsible doors and main rotor).
The painting was based on rescue squads American Navy.
I hope you find a nice result.
Enjoy

Nice, and impressive too.
Well done Alexandre.

Much better than mine turned out...well done indeed!

Thanks Rob!
Go Navy!
WOW, nice work.
Thanks Marc!
Beautiful work. We don't see enough rotor-blade offerings here. Good to see someone 'flying the flag'.
Thanks Rob!
Most of my models have functional parts.
I really like it!
Good looking helicopter, Alexandre, well detailed and with working parts, fantastic!
Thanks George!
I tried to do a good job!
Very impressive. Your detail work on the winch, rotor head and engine is superb.
Thanks Mike!
I love the scratchbuilt!
It would look better in US Coast Guard colors...HA, I'm only kidding, very nice build, love the engine compartment!
Hi Mike!
The colors used in this device in the US Coast Guard are very beautiful!
Thanks for the comment and praise!
Nice chopper! The detailing is superb. It looks like you have put a lot of effort into that.
Hi Richard!
Yes! All the details were well laborious! Most made of aluminum beer cans!
Thanks for the comment and praise!
Very nice !
Thanks Phil!
Considering the age of that kit (something around 60 years since first released), the work you have done here with all of that is just amazing. It really looks wonderful.
Hi Tom!
Yes, the kit is very old and was one version of the operation "Deep Freeze" of the USA (That whole Orange).
Thank you for using the term "Amazing"!
Greetings :
Good work Alexandre, that Sikorsky chopper seems up to date considering the age of the kit. You did fine and you picked the right scheme for it.
Hello!
Thanks for the compliment!
I glanced in their cars and found them very good!
Alexandre, outstanding work on the old girl. As Tom pointed out, this kit has been around for a loooong time, and yours is the best execution of one I've seen. Of course, I keep hoping some backward thinking firm releases a "new" one of these with at least some of the bells and whistles. Someplace in the pile I have an orange one from Revell GB. The airframe is a favorite of mine, and a true pioneer.
Bernard, Thanks for the recognition!
If you are a veteran of Vietnam, you will enjoy a Huey'll post here soon!
looks great
Thanks, Bob!
This is a very nice effort! I like it very much! Well done!
Hello Morne!
I bet you know a lot about the history of wars (Vietnam for example) because of their profession is teacher!
Thank you very much for the compliments!
Alexandre, you bet! I used to "ride" in those, so it's (Hahahahaha) a favorite! The museum has one that it is restoring, which actually saw service in the RVN. Once she's done, I'll try to get some photos posted.
Our flightline is across the ramp from the Maryland State Police helicopter facility. Medivacs. The Maryland Air Nat'l Guard (A-10s) is on the other side of the field.
Hello Alexandre,
I know how this model looks when you open the box.
So you did a excellent job.
Thanks Dirk!
I like "TomBoy" cat!
I really like this. Could easily tempt me to buy one of the H-34 kits.
Ian.
Thank you IAN!
There are good kits H-34
I will think of your idea!
Let me see, actual Folding Blades-Check! Opening Engine Compartment-Check! Amazing detail-Check! Ready for lift-off! Outstanding...Breathtaking. A true labor of love I guess? That confirms it...I want one!
Amazing! A truly piece of art! Congratulations
Thanks Manuel!
