1/72 Revel H-34 Seabat

Chilean Navy Helicopter

Hey there everybody…  Greetings from the deep South of America.

 

Here is my H-34 of Chilean Navy. These Helicopters (51 and 52) were in service in 60' and 70'.  This Helicopter was used in long range recon, ASW and rescue missions.  The kit is the Revel H-34 1/72, and I'd used Part Photo Etch set for this project.  This model was adapted, on the ASW sensor and in the antennae, in this particular case.  After the retirement of the H-34 Seabat (Black 51), the Helicopter was put on display in the gardens of the Naval Base in Belloto, close to Valparaiso.

Some years later, this Helo was restored and actually is on display in the Aeronautic Museum, Santiago, Chile.  I would like to thank Sergio Pulgar and Oscar Rus for their comments and support…

 

I hope you like this model…

 

Happy Modeling…
