Hi fellow builders
My third MOC here on Eurobricks is a minifig scaled model of the brand new SAR helicopter in Norway. The Leonardo AW 101 is a magnificent machine!
I start off with some important information. I built this MOC based on a model i found on Lego Ideas. The creator SimonSchepp published six pictures of his grey army version of this helicopter, and I used these with the intention of making a similar model. The result is a helicopter that looks similar, but is probably built very differently. With only six pictures available It was really difficult to figure out how to build this thing. But I think it turnes out nice, and I learned a lot along the way.
Hope you like it.
Minifigs deserve only the best, and the AW 101 is state of the art.
You can hoist the patients in to the helicopter.
The crew has lots of medical equipment available for treating patients.
The helicopter flies fast and safe in all kinds of weather conditions.
Fully decorated cabin, similar to the layout in the real helicopter.
Size does matter, and this thing is big.
Fully decorated cockpit, with collective and cyclic. I know there should to room for 2 pilots. But to maintain playability, I could only fit in one seat.
The godfather of helicopters, Igor Sikorsky, deserves som credit.
Any comment or questions is much appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
Keep building :-)
