Splash's Flettner FL 282 ***finished***

[splash]

I have a kit lined up, but you will have to guess what it is as the build goes along.

First clue.

Oh, that looks like an ancestor of Bjørn Kjos!!

Anton Flettner?

A Kolibri perhaps? I believe Huma made a kit.

Spot on

It's the HUMMA Flettner Fl 282




The kit is simple with few parts but will make one of two options either the B-0 single seat cockpit with internal fuel tanks or the B-2 with its external fuel tanks and an extra observers seat facing rearwards behind the rotor head.

[Dazzled]

That looks like a really interesting kit Splash. Looking forward to watching progress with this one.

[Sissel]

Very interesting. Not seen that before. Will be a fun build to follow.

That's a great choice Alan, I'm really fond of Huma kits.

Bloody Hell, where did you dig that up so fast.


Interesting looking kit though, judging by the pics theres a fair bit of cleaning up to do?

I think Dazzled should get out more

There is some flash but as the kit is so small it should not take to much time to clean up.

Careful what you wish for, we all know what happens then.

The quality of this kit reminds me of an Amodel kit very basic, poor part fit with lots of flash.

Just the kind of challenge I need every now and then. I have separated the larger parts and started to clean them up.

An interesting rotor craft Splash, though I'm not sure I'd risk a flight in that contraption nor, I bet, did Herr Flettner

It looks a bit fragile, but they did see service and are on record as being the first helicopters to be used in the gunship role.

The Intermeshing rotors were a clever way to get around the rotor torque problem, I gather it was a very stable a/c.
