1/700 Sikorsky S-55 (HO4S)
Helicopter with Photo etch |
|
Not the most attractive looking helicopter the Sikorsky S-55, better
known in the US as the HO4S, has a distinctive "tadpole" shape that will
make a great little addition to your 50's carrier or airfield diorama.
They come packaged 5 to a set with photo etch details included. There
was little flash and only a small casting gate on the nose to sand off,
my sample came nicely molded with very little touch up needed. |

This helo comes with photo etched rotors wheels, and tail stabilizers.
The wheel centers are even visible due to the relief etching on the parts. |
|
Basic instructions are provided to show how the parts fit. They could
benefit from having exact locations for the etched parts to attach to.
A simple elevation view of the Helicopter would be a big plus. |

White Ensign has a very complete line of aircraft in their 1/700 Scale
airstrike line that should allow you to model any carrier at any time period
desired. Check out the complete list on their website. |
