Great Pics, Photomaker, thank you!
What struck me on your pics as well as on Albert's model, were the emergency flotation bags: I thought this type was only used on the Bell 212!
On 412's I had only seen the flotation bags as used on the Dutch AB412's (one piece, mounted above and parallel to the skids) or the two piece bags in combination with the skid extensions.
Klaus: you're building a 1:48 412? If so: are you using the Whirly Bits conversion?
