The details of the Bell UH1b:
The fuselage itself has been completely redesigned. The existing paintwork was sanded, and countless rivets, antennas, mirrors, handles and holding rails were attached. The paintwork has been refreshed with the original colors.
In addition, a true-to-size, scale cockpit was implemented. The lighting is also properly installed according to the original.
In addition, the model was equipped with a specially made, true-to-scale main and tail rotor head, manufactured by SK-Rotorkopf from Germany. This special design allows the tail rotor speed to be adjusted independently of the main rotor using a second motor.
A toothed belt or a rigid shaft, as is usually the case with model helicopters, is not required here.
