Jens J.Rotor blades will not break apart in large pieces like that. Also, all four main rotor blades would be damaged due to the rotor spinning upon impact.

Diorama Dude@ Jens J.: I thank you for your comment. That is not the final diorama. I do not risk to destroy the original rotor during this build. The main rotor and the tail rotor are placeholder, they are not fixed on the helicopter. The broken parts also placeholder.

Bob HallVery good lay out, I remember when that happened and was all set to deploy there, but the administration at the time decided to run away with their tail between their legs.

Album info
The combat search and rescue (CSAR) team from Super Six Eight arrived at the crashsite of Super Six One. The CSAR team found both the pilots dead and two wounded men of the crew inside the crashed helicopter. Under intense fire, the team moved the wounded men to a nearby collection point.
