Help please!
Hi guys.
First, very sorry for barging in here...
I've been looking for B206 drawings showing the early fully faired U/C legs and straight topped pop out float skids, like the JR in 'The Spy who Loved Me' and many others in this thread (thanks for the pictures all of you).
I'm a modeller and have longed for a really scale Jetranger for quite a while.
I first wrote to Corgi in about 1974 asking them to make one.
They did, but even as a 9 year old I could see the flaws.
See the 'Stromberg' and 'Chopper Squad' Corgi toys.
Now, in 2015, I have a really good fuselage and flybarless chassis with the T/R on the port side. Yes, this one will fly.
The windscreen is pretty accurate but the 'snout' needs a little work.
The professional modellers (plastic/ die cast) don't often get these shapes right.
I have not yet found a drawing showing the older high skids, nor a photo' that I can scale from (I need a straight on side and front view).
By now you must be bored!
After all there are many superb scale JR models out there.
However this one will be just 12'' long.
It will be as true to scale as I can make it (with your help!) and will fly in my lounge.
Once again, please help!
Many thanks and kind regards.
