Looking for a Helicopter Model.... Need help!!
Posted by McGriff on Wednesday, December 4, 2013 7:26 AM

Hi Everyone,

I am on the hunt for a Mcdonnell Douglas MD500 (civillian model) Helicopter model in a 1/32 or 1/35 scale. It's also sometimes known as a Hughes 500.

The problem I'm having is that there are not many to choose from in this scale especially if you want a civillian model. I would really like one with the pointier nose rather than the more rounded bouble shape:

But I would still be happy with the rounder shape too. Especially if it has a cool retro stripe design like this:

I have found a mititary one on ebay but I would only want it if I could easily modify it to look civillian including paint scheme (is this hard to do? I figured with tape I could creat stripes quite easily). This is the ebay one + a police one I also found:

Anyone know of some good options in this scale?

Thanks!Big Smile
