Habit or hobby? Another update about my collection of diecast model helicopters...
With its blue tail and American bird motif, the Sikorsky
SH-60F Ocean Hawk (US Navy) - made in 1:72 scale by Amercom - looks great, and
it completes a range of all the ’Hawk variants that I
could find.
Adding to my European helicopter models, I bought a Dutch navy version of the N.H.I. NH-90 Marine NFH (NATO frigate helicopter).
It’s a highly detailed 1:87 scale model by Schuco, and its
light grey finish contrasts with the green and black German army NH-90 TTH
(tactical transport helicopter) model - produced at 1:72 scale by Amercom -
that I got in March this year.
Now my shelf load of Russian helicopters is practically complete,
I also bought a couple of models from Poland, including a PZL SW-4
Puszczyk - trans: Tawny Owl (Amercom - 1:72), which looks like the Polish
equivalent of a Eurocopter AS-350 A-Star.
This 1930s style Bat-gyro plane, in a new casting from the
Johnny Lightning brand, is a metal kit produced at 1:64 scale.
