I am very impressed by your accurate and most subtle work. Your skills seem to be a adorable mix of clean and precise work and a good sense for subtle weathering. I really just like your tiny helicopter-models!!

MRMLA
What a beauty!

Martien Lourens
I have made a start with this kit. But it
will be the grasshopper of the dutch airforce. Great and colorful building.

Ekki
Excellent helo.
@ Martien: which colours will you be using?

KollHBM
Martien, Ekki Thank you for the flowers. It's a nice little helo from Heller and I am looking foreward to build another one, but this time in swiss air rescue colours (REGA).

Nils Steyaert
following, ive always liked this helo (next to the SeaKing).
had a chance tho fly in one of these a few years ago (M-1).

Pierre-Christian Baudru
Hi Nils, so how was to fly on the Alouette ? Do you have detail pictures of the M-1 to share please ? Cheers.

Nils Steyaert
it was quite pleasent really, although a bit shakey.
its like sitting in a fishbowl on top of a shaking washing machine.
i think i got some pictures, but it will take some time to find them.

i do however made a video of my flight:

Pierre-Christian Baudru
Very nice video thanks a lot ! Many details are visible and I will try to represent then on my model. Cheers.

Jens Valkeneers
Nice alouette! It is really one the most beautiful helicopters that the klu has been using. How is the quality of the decals?

Ekki
Very good job! Is that the one that was flying at the Luchtmachtdagen 2013 at Volkel Air Base?

Wouter Roerdink
Teh qualitu of the decals is good as usual. There is only a slight mistake. The decal on the nose and the two decals with type and constructionnumber should be white, as shown in the instructions, but are black. They are always present at the Luchtmachtdagen, but this one has the special livery of 50 years Alouette, as she flew this year. In fact there is one error in my model: this year it wasn't flying with an orange window, like when I built the model. This window, and I believe it was something they put inside the helicopter, was used when the queen was using the helicopter. But since we now have a king, who doesn't wear skirts, I haven't seen it anymore. Of course I could have left the specal fifty years decals of, but I liked them and I couldn't remove the orange paint anymore.

Jan Hazes
I'm missing a few I heard they are planning a Grasshopper come back. This time as RC helicopters.

Wouter Roerdink
I saw them somewhere on Facebook. They look very realistic! Only a but small!

Gordon Sørensen
Looks great. I have the same kit, and idea for my build. Just need to get the Whirlybird accessories.

Vitor Hugo Sousa
Gordon, get also the Extratech photoetch, it realy enhance the model

Erik Houghton

Luc B
fabulous!

Holger Kranich
Really an ol kit! It comes from the 80´s, doesnt it?

Glenn .
A lot of Heller Helicopters are in fact 1/50 scale! but I think a lot of the boxes say 1/48!

Gertjan Zwart
It wouldn't surprise me if the kit was even older, Holger. I remember buying it, must have been in the early 80's, and already thinking then the box and the box-art style looked really old!!

Glenn, that's right, the scales with Heller have been a bit of a mess all along. The Alouette III somehow is the worst of their catalogue in those days: it is not just slightly out of scale but really way off! I guess Heller had plans to aim for the younger modeller with this kit. Very rude and basic, completely different from f.i. their Lama, Gazelle and Puma.

Michel Huijghe
Again a stunning model.

Vitor Hugo Sousa
Hey guys,
I appreciate if you could give me a vote one this Facebook contest

facebook.com/emodelsltd?sk=a..p_data=view-vote%2Cfor-68330

Urban Gardini
Allready done mate! The Merkava IIIC in second place is mine...

Vitor Hugo Sousa
is good to know the modeller behind the model, I saw your work now, but I have to admit I don´t know anything about Tanks to give you an reliable opinion (sorry). But compared to many I've seen they seem very nicely build. Good luck in the contest

And I loved your avatar picture, one of the best movies I've seen (in that category)

Guy Golsteyn
Now all I have to do is find the decals to make a Belgian navy version. This seems to be the hardest part however...

scale-rotors.com
you can ask it here no?

NAZRI .
1) how do you make exhaust helicopters Dauphin 1/72 .
2) how do you make helicopter rescue motor cable

Colin Burgess
Hi Tim, That's one sweet Alou III, if the guy used the Heller 50th scale kit it's even more of a masterpiece, that kit is a shocker. If he used the Fujimi kit he had slightly less of a problem. I see he had the sense to use the Heller Alou II main rotorhead.
Colin

Tim Vereecke
yes indeed, he used the Heller main rotorhead
