Ok guys I have been getting quite q few emails about doing 500 size (Electrics)bodies and even 600 size . Not sure why, seeing there is quite a few on the market already by other manufacturers. pretty much everyone know my fuselages are made of High Impact polystyrene, light weight and easily repaired or replaced. Im thinking of trying one and see how it turns out . I think I can do something pretty economical where it wont break the bank. The bigger the body the easier it should be to add details. But heres the thing, I do not have a 500 size heli (Probably wont need one) . Another thing if I model something, Im going to want to do something that is not a Airwolf or a Jet Ranger or a MD500 or even a Huey. So, If any would like to offer any suggestions Please do so. Hopefully I will not have to retool and can use tha tables I already have. So, lets here from you.

Mounting plates are a must.

They all are starting to look similar. I don't know of any elevated tails kits for the 500 that are sold seperate from the fuselages.

OK, Here's something differant ;) How about the MI-14 "Haze"?. Stright foreward detail, large bodied with a boat hull and retracts which would make a great amphibious model chopper :D . I would go for that even in a 450 size :)

Here is a guy who did it. But his is really big, in the size of 90 or bigger. I did comunicate with him b4 and he has no plans to do a smaller version.

Maybe take your most popular 450 fusalage and scale it up to 500 size! :)


On second thought no :o there are a zillion of those out there all ready. You probly should make something new :D like for instance the MI-14! :D
