1/72 US Coastguard
The Eurocopter Dauphin (Dolphin) is a medium-weight multipurpose twin-engine helicopter manufactured by Eurocopter (originally by Aérospatiale). Developed from the single-engined Aérospatiale Dauphin variant, the Dauphin is one of Eurocopter's most successful designs and is widely used as a corporate transport, police, news media, emergency medical services and search & rescue helicopter. One of the distinctive features of the Dauphin is its fenestron tail rotor.
The kit used was the Revell kit# 04467. This was my first attempt at a helicopter, being more of a fighter man myself ;-) I'd been put off my the nightmarish stories I'd heard about getting the multiple canopy parts right! And were they right... I had to buy an extra kit to redo some of the canopies...
The kit quality was so-so. I'm currently working on a Revell Heinkel Bomber with very high definition parts, so cannot understand this disparity in quality! Anyway, I did my best putting it all together. The decals lacked very many cockpit instrument panels, so I had to paint in my own.
Conclusion: A nice little model that could've benefited from better detail and decals. The end result looks good though :-)
