Bristol Sycamore German Air Force LC+105

first steps on the fuselage... cut out the place for the rescue hoist 

the cover under which the winch is connected to the tubular frame, is in place 

some problems with the bottom part. it´s much better to fill the middle part, than one side 

there is a wrong engraved line... 

... I´ve corrected it 

the grid for the main-gearbox cooling intake is made of nice pe-parts 

the roof windows are painted with Tamiya clear-orange  

some PE work. The copper sheetmetal is very nice. It is easy to cut. 

one of the Sycamores problems is, that you can´t use the rescue hoist spontaneous. The crew has to remove the blister-door under the winch. My model should be winch-ready, so I cut out the door. I took the HR.14 part with the normal door, because it´s much easier. 

The pilot-seat (left) and the co-pilot seat (right). In SAR mission, the co-pilot turned the seat around and was able to winch the paramedic. The three frames are for the passenger-seats. 

I don´t like the "Klappstühle" (folding chairs) from AMP. I made some of aluminium sheetmetal. I used the rivet wheel for the seams.  

A bit paint and some drybrushing are the magic behind this step. 

The blister-doors from AMP are not correct. I made a resin duplicate of the left-hand blister and made a vacu-mold of it.
In the kit there are clear parts for the "normal" rear door, too. I cut out the door. On the inner side of the blister, there is a metal frame with the hinghes and the lock mechanism. The frame is bent out of aluminium wire with 1,5mm diameter. 

the interior in simple SAR config.  

the mold for the vacu blister-door and the frame for it.
