Album info

Hello !
This my SO.1221 Djinn, kit Brengun 1/72.
This helicopter was quiet unique at the time, since it was the first rotorcraft to use "tip-jet" propulsion : the compressed air, coming from the Turbomeca turbine, was injected into the aircraft's hollow rotor blades to exit at their tips, causing the blades to rotate. This system was making the usage of the tail rotor useless.
You will find more details here : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SNCASO_SO.1221_Djinn

Talking of the Brengun kit.... well... My understanding is that this kit is, in fact, the ExtraTech kit in which some parts were changed (the blade are now injected). Except the blades, all parts are resin, photoetch and rhodoïd.
It's a very difficult kit, to be honest....
- it is almost impossible to bend the tail photoetch properly
- Every photoetch parts gluing is challenging. And by the way, using flat photoetch to represent a tubular structure, is not such a good idea, even on such a small kit.
- the fittings are really poor, generally speaking.
- I' had to scratch a new landing pad, with some metallic tubes, since the original one, made of resin, was just unusable (it broke instantly)
- It took me nearly 4 hours just to trim, glue and fit the canopy on the resin parts.
etc..
I' need to switch to a more "just shake the box" kit, now, to boost my motivation
Thanks for looking.
Didier
