And two from a nice little private airpark on the Florida panhandle. Absolutely beautiful paint job on this Longranger. I later met the pilot and we had a couple of beers and had a good old chat about all things aviation. A wondeful day. Thank you Roger.

That longranger paintjob looks like the Airlog scheme with the gray taking over for the various shades of blue. One of the many just sold off??

AirLog ships

Those LongRangers were at least the real work horses of the business...

CFR - The pics of the hoist are amazing ..

As an SLF, I am curious - where was the camera positioned when you clicked them ?

Maryland State Trooper

Hello guys! I'm a newbie and not sure here's the right place to post such a topic (it's just flaunting.) though,... I'll give it a go. Sorry if it bothers you all.

@Modertor; Please move/delete my thread if it won't fit this section/forum.

Here're Maryland State Police AS-365N2/3.






and I found New Ray's 1/48 model a half year back. It looks a special detailed model comparing with their 365s. Unfortunately the model has been set in a flight condition only with a stand and the main landing gears have not been contained in this model though the nose gear is retractable and installed in the model. Anyway, for the price, I believe it has an excelent balance of value for money.

been contained in this model though the nose gear is retractable and installed in the model. Anyway, for the price, I believe it has an excelent balance of value for money.


However, as the model looked kinda poor, I tried to look better.
All the antennas have been remade/added using a 0.5mm O.D. plastic rod.






The interior accessory, air duct and brake hoses were added in the cabin.






The pitot tubes on the nose have been remade. The windshield center post and the OAT indicator in/over the cockpit have been added. The nose landing gear has been modified to be steerable.




The wire harness of the rescue hoist has been added.


Also, the main landing gears and the fairings have been added/modified totally.


Hope you all would enjoy the photos.

For all the victims of the "N93MD"..... http://www.pprune.org/rotorheads/344...-4-killed.html

the quiz is easy.

There has been a recent announcement of massive infrastructure spending to revamp the OZ navy.

That there is the newest addition and flagship, the HMAS KIVIN KRUDD.

It is powered by two dynamic machines, built with someone elses money, which is usual for KRUDD, and they will work in opposition to each other when the ship cast off.

It will eventually wander aimlessly about driven by the wind (as he is, a hot wind) until it strikes an immovable object and then like the OZ eceonomy its great engines will disappear in a spectacular exhibition of diametric opposition.

The crew will all be saved, having done backflips, like their fearless leader, into the sh***y local creek.

Then the local care-flight will save them as all other reputable HEMS outfits have also gone down the local sh***y creek, I mean gurgler.

amen

Then the spin doctors will start.
