Thanks to a photo sent to me yesterday by our favourite LAME, I have been looking at the NASA rotary wing fleet and, in addition to more well-known helo types operated by the agency, I would now like to include these in my NASA build-list plans:



In addition to the big CH-53 in NASA colours, she also looked great in her "life after NASA" civil scheme as well:

Wouldn't mind doing this one either at some stage.
Can anyone recommend the best CH-53 kit, (cause it looks like I will need at least two ).
Geez.....at this rate it looks like A/CAM will have to take over the Rotary Wing Category at Model Expo as well as the current two categories it sponsors (Christ....this is getting expensive ).

So here is another NASA rotary wing "heavy" that has caught my eye:





Can anyone recommend a good 1:72 or 1:48 Sea King kit for this..... and BTW, I am still looking for recommendations for the best 1:72 or 1:48 CH-53.

I have both the new Airfix Sea King and the Fujimi Sea King in 1/72. That look great in the box and should build up ok. As for the CH-53 have a gander here https://www.scalemates.com/products/reviews.php?scale=1%3A72&topic=Sikorsky+H-53

Now that would be a good one for that 1:20 Nichimo kit ...

Question time folks, what is going on in this photo - I know, but do you?

C'mon, surely one of you guys are working on or thinking about building a NACA/NASA C-47!

The Naca/Nasa Mess has run out of Salt so they sent a crew out to replenish their Salt shakers.

Close but no banana!

Is this when the Apollo Astronauts were taken out for Geology training before the later Moon missions?

edwards airforce base...checking for instrument locations for the X1 run?

Who cares? There's a C-47 in the pic
