Guest Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 My first build of 2012. I had built both MRC's Bell 47D, and Revell's 47G. I combined the skids from the D kit with the rest of the G/H kit to make N975B from the old 50's series, The Whirlybirds. Thanks to Roadhawg(Tommy) for the Whirlybirds decals.
roadhawg Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 Looks great, Lee!! All you need are figures of Chuck and P.T. sitting in there!
Guest Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 Thanks for the kind comments all. My wife gave me a DVD with 8 episodes on it for Christmas last year. I loved that show as well.
cobraman Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 Nice ! I too remember that show. Yea, I'm an old guy. I would really love to see them shows again.
unclescott58 Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 (edited) I love Whirlybirds. Watched it as a kid. And I too in the last year picked up a DVD with several episodes. It still holds up. I wasn't disappointed. And as far as your model goes Lee, very nice job. Scott Edited August 20, 2014 by unclescott58
unclescott58 Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 By the way, I saw your other build of the Whirlybirds from an even earlier posting. Not to put the other build down, but this one looks a lot better. I hope some day when you attend another MCCM meeting, you'll bring along this model so I can see it in real life. Scott
bbowser Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 Most excellent!!! I loved that show! X2, I had forgotten that one! I dreamed of being a chopper pilot as a kid. Plus there was "Sky King" with his twin-engined whatever it was. Exciting stuff!

Below is Songbird III, a 1960 Cessna 310D. Scott Edited September 2, 2014 by unclescott58
gordon Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Whirlybirds was great show. Now I know what color the helcopters were. Cheers Eh!
Snake45 Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Beautiful build! Just stunning! Speaking of Sky King, I understand there's just been a new kit released of the Cessna 310. I think it's in 1/72 scale.
GLMFAA1 Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) Yeah! Rotors beside brakes in this forum, I always wanted to build Chuck and PT's copter until I saw the color scheme. I hate to see what the 47J was painted for use in B&W film. Love the Bell 47, one of my bucket list items was a ride in a 47, which is fading fast, I also combined the two kits, even have a rough master for the expanded tanks for the 1/35ths Here is my G Mark 1/20 scale and my Esoteric models 1/72nd bell 47 Speaking of SkyKing here are models done by a local aircraft modeler Edited October 20, 2014 by GLMFAA1
Guest Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Thanks guys! Nice job on that hard to build Esoteric beast!
Apriliadan Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Both choppers are very nice, looks great civilianized
