Over the past few months, I have been working on refurbishing a Century Bell 47 and converting it to an early 47D-1. Finding the model for sale was difficult, but I finally found one for sale in France. Unfortunately, thanks to the post office, it didn’t make it to the USA in one piece:
I spent quite a while rebuilding the airframe, stripped out all of the G model components, repainted it, and added a 3D printed D model fuel tank. Also added some stretchers and vacuformed some stretcher canopies. Still has a bit of work to go, but I thought I’d share a few photos from flying it this weekend:
Next up will be adding a D model instrument panel, a pilot from realmodelpilots, and possibly converting to a more scale rotor head.
