Some RAZBAM news..better sit down..

Great Bell 47 there...

Could I ask for this to be passed on to "Boomer" please: (It is merely a plea, not a complain)

I really would like to see a Brit army Sioux version on which:

There are doors

A yellow "horizon line" on the bubble and the little bit of red wool stuck on the front as a turn and slip indicator (yes, Brit Sioux had these)

I am not so sure the blades bend as much as you show. The Sioux blades wer metal and darned heavy. 130 lbs each, if I remember correctly. This was deliberate and they were "high inertia" to keep them turning if the engine cut. Sort of a flywheel.

There ought to be a lead weight bolted to the bottom of tail rotor guard

The radio try is on the top of the forward tailboom

The elevator has control wires to make it tilt with the cyclic (it moves)

There is a throttle/turbocharger "Cam Box" on the right hand side

The cooler fan is on the front of the engine

Stokes litters are used

Cargo hook option

Tank "Cups" are metal, tanks are slightly wrinkled looking because we (Brit Army) had glass fibre tanks with self-seal liners. The tanks were not perfect "ovoids"

A "three cushion" (backs and seats) interior instead of the single back pad. Ours wer blue leatherette and the centre seat cushion had a cutout for dual collective

Brit Army centre console (G3 and G4 variants)

I am sure some keen Brit reader could drop round to the Army Air Corps museum to do you some imagery

The 3D looks real pretty, but still not "Sioux" enough for my liking... I know, I know... quit moaning ;)

Frankly I had not considered making that variant but since you mentioned it & for the rest of our friends across the pond I will see what I can dig up for referenced info.

The problem with the 47 is that there is a huge variety of modifications from one to the next, even differences within the same unit. It seems the only thing they all have in common is a rotor on top :icon_lol:

Much of what you asked for is now part of the current model. Doors, no doors, floats, cargo hook, litters etc...

The base mesh is largely done but I am receptive to wish lists. Feel free to post your wishes on the RAZBAM forum & if possible I will accommodate.
 
Great news,Prowler/Boomer...am looking forward to all of these future releases :ernae: .Will the Scooters be getting the FSX treatment too?:kilroy:
 
Well - if you do decide to do a brit version with a "Pants and Corset" engine, you can expect to see the original Blue Budgies in the air again... :D

Pants and Corsets? The Brit Engines used to be overhauled by the Hants and Dorset Bus Company. There was no big oil-barrel silencer, just the turbo, the cam-box (lovely bit of gear to rig... not) and an oil pump that you could shear the studs on one handed... sigh.

Blue Budgies - our name for the Blue Eagles.

BLESS YOU for even reading my plea! Thanks.
 
The F-105G and F-100 is a must have for me. I hope Michael is making a D-model and possibly an F ??

Thanks for the news Ron

The initial project is a single seat D variant but the mesh has been built to easily allow the required fuselage plug insertion, F ??, was thinking more of C ???.

Michael,

I was meaning the two seater, I think that's an F model. I think the Danish even called it the TF-100F, the Danes are the ones I remember, vaguely......:jump:
 
micheal,
are you still working on the Jolly green giant?
or HH3F doesn't which variant it exactly was

BR
Tom
 
Aha, I was thinking more of F ?? = F-104 etc and C ??? = C-133 (example) not F-100 variants LOL.

Best

Michael
