Sikorsky S-51
On this occasion I wanted to show you something that I built quickly, without great details. It's the Sikorsky S-51 from Beaver Corporation, a brand I didn't know existed. The scale is 1/48. The kit has generally correct dimensions, and the detailing is basic. Luckily he brings a small photo-etching plate. I only detailed the engine ventilation and some parts of the cabin. For the painting stage I chose the first helicopter that equipped the Argentine Naval Prefecture, during the 1950s. At that time it was called the Maritime Naval Prefecture. A quick kit to build and interesting for its rarity.
Nice job, Juan. I like the subtle paint work
Very nice work on a seldom seen subject. I really like it!
Yes. Love it.
Excellent S-51, Juan!
Great result, Juan @juanravi73
An unknown brand to me as well , with your skills it clearly builds into a nice S-51.
Gorgeous!
Great looking model !
That is really nice, and an unusual subject as well.
Nice work. Never heard of Beaver either.
