Thumbs up A source for models and hopefully it does not contstitute advertising.

Here is the website for Piazzai Models in Arona, Italy. They make the factory models for Aerospatiale (Eurocopter), Sikorsky, Boeing (Apache and variants of the CH-47) as well as Schweizer and MD Helicopters. If you contact them tell them you are interested in purchasing a model from their over production. Normally they will sell in orders of 20 models. Their models have clear transparencies and have interior furnishings.

If the Bell 47 model is a G Mark model you can consider yourself very lucky. They stopped production several years ago and it is nearly impossible to find a G Mark kit. If it is a G Mark it is worth several thousand dollars.

I have several pictures of a G Mark kit built by Piazzai for their own collection and it can't be told from a real B-47 helicopter.

I wish it was possible to compare collections.

More to come.
