Revell 1/32 Eurocopter EC135
By Kent Karlsen
The Danish emergency medical helicopters are of the type EC 135, which are constructed by Airbus Helicopters. Norsk Luftambulanse A/S is the supplier of Danish Air Ambulance, hence the Norwegian register (LN). The idea of recreating one emerged when I was hospitalized for a month, three years ago. I watched the helicopters landing and taking off.
Later I was invited to visit one of the bases of the emergency medical helicopters.
Luckily, I was able to pick up a kit from Britain as the Revell kit has been out of production for some time.
Many minor alterations as well as bigger conversions were required of the Revell EC-135 kit. I decided to completely rework the interior as well as the equipment since the Danish helicopter’s arrangement differs from other emergency helicopters.
The 'Plinth' is scratch build from photos and measurements.
It's always a special experience if you are able to build from the 1:1 original. Hope you like it!
Cheers!
