Hello All,
I recently discovered that RS models have produced the two versions of the Flettner 282 Kolibri..It appears that maybe the molds are actually what Huma were using ages ago..I can't be sure though..I was told a good few years ago that Huma had accidently dropped the molds for the 1/72 scale Kolibri and they were smashed beyond repair..so I don't know what is going on there..Unless R.S Models have actually made brand new molds..I intend at some point to build the 5 well known Helicopters of the Luftwaffe..The Flettner 223 Drache by Huma,the 2 Kolibris..single seat and twin seat version,.the Flettner Fl 265 and the by Special Hobby and the Focke Achgelis Fa 330 by Pavla...Admittedly it will not be an easy task to build all of them by the look of it..especially the Fa 330,but as must be obvious ther eare no other mode;s of these machines in 1/72scale..They will look rather unusual as a set I would think. Anyone with any thoughts?
