Piasecki HRP-1
When the US Navy carried out the first anti-mine experiments with helicopters they used the HRP-1.
However to save weight the fabric skin and all extraneous frameing was removed leaving the skeletal frame - this model is my attempt to represent those aircraft.
Since I only had three photos showing the frame there is a lot of guesswork in this model but I think it conveys the spirit of aircraft.
This time I have managed to produce a panel and vc panel, again guesswork and adapting The B24 Guy's version(Thanks B)
There are two models, one with and one without floats. ( see pics )
Happy hovering
