I'm sharing the Blue Thunder project for a 500 engine with a brushless tail rotor.
The modeling process took me approximately two months. A friend did the 3D printing and assembly.

Create your own painting stencil
Paint Stencil
I've been thinking about a working miniature paint stencil. A 3D printer is the key to this. However, it needs to be printed very thinly, about 0.2mm. I then applied a spray adhesive to the back so that the paint doesn't bleed through it later.

Today I finished my trade fair model. An interior for a Vario Bell 429 on a scale of 1:5. You can probably see that I've been working with luxury interiors for the last 30 years in my previous job 🙂
The individual components can of course also be purchased separately.
www.scale-print.de
New in the program from today is the interior and equipment for the rear section of a rescue helicopter (in this case an H145 from Vario scale 1:5 in real scale 1:6). As always, all cushions are printed from rubber (TPU) by SCALE PRINT.

Today I finally finished the work. Business Interior for the Vario Bell 429 in 1:5 scale.
www.scale-print.de
After I took a scan from the Vario Bell 429 on Saturday at Heli-Factory I have started to design the cockpit. The customer would like to have the business version including 5 seats in the back. To get it 100% scale the frames which are running in length direction needs to be positioned a little bit closer.

For the Alouette III I have now constructed a winch. This can be made functional with a winch that must be mounted in the fuselage.
In addition, there are now many more parts for the Alouette III that I have designed which I will soon put online in my store.
www.scale.print.de
I have just completed the first cockpit for the 1:4 Jet Ranger. This is exactly tailored to the Vario model. For sure it will be availble in any other scale.

Hello,
Après plusieurs hélicoptères Vario (Bell230, Cobra, Lama, MD500E, Ecureuil) j'ai décidé de tester un modèle Roban.
J'ai choisi le UH-1D série 800.
Malgré que la qualité de soit pas au niveau de Vario on peut en sortir quelque chose de sympa après quelques modifications.

I just finished a winch for a BK 117 in scale 1:7,6. Unfortunately, I had to make a few changes compared to the original because otherwise no stability would have been achieved.
www.scale-print.de
For all fans of the NH 90 there are now lots of add-on parts and there will be some more to come. I designed these for a customer in 1:4.6 scale, but the scan of the fuselage was originally from the Graupner NH90 in 1:8.9 scale, so all the parts will be available in that scale if needed.
www.scale-print.de
The first two cockpits for a BK 117 in 1:7,6 scale (for www.scale-helikopter-service.com ) now finished. Instruments are backlit as in almost all of my cockpits and the seat pads are printed in rubber (TPU) using the laser sintering process.

I still have one for today. Lama Cockpit 1:4 also with backlit instruments.

Available from today in my store. Cockpit and accessories for the BK 117. Designed in 1:7.6 scale but as with all my items, of course available in any other printable scale on request.

I have just finished a business pilot seat for the Bell 429 in 1:3,5 scale. The upholstery is printed from rubber as usual. The rails are recessed into the floor like the original.

Here is a cockpit for a Vario Hughes 500D in 1/4 (Vario Catalogue 1/5) scale. The seats have the appropriate cut outs for the PHT3. The instruments are of course backlit.

The cockpits for the MilMi 24 from Heliclassics are now finished and I will hand them over this weekend. There are a total of 25 white LED's for backlighting and 28 LED's in different colors in the front panels. The instrument rings are individually printed and insert after painting the panels turquoise. The seat cushions are printed in rubber (TPU) as usual.
Today we had a try-on at SCALE PRINT. the turbine cover for the Vario Lama with a Jakadowsky turbine. Some small adjustments need to be done but at least everything fits well. One straight Festo connector needs to be exchanged with a 90° connector. The 3D printed rubber pipes which are included in the set were not installed today.

Last week I delivered a cockpit for BO105 in scale 1:4 from Heli-Factory. Cockpit and seats are copied from the original at the request of the customer. The rear seat I will make next, I'm still waiting for the original pictures.

Today I finally finished another cockpit for an AS 350 after some time. This time with LED diodes and backlit instrument pictures.
For further questions please contact me.
I have drawn a cockpit for the Hughes 500E. Of course, the matching instrument pictures will be available later. In addition, the cockpit is already prepared for the installation of small LED diodes.

New customer request, new item in my store :-). Here I have constructed a side armament for the military version of a Hughes 500 in 1:4 scale. Unfortunately the cost of the two rocket launchers (diameter 72mm and 280mm long) makes such an article hardly affordable. So these two launcher housings will probably be printed using the inexpensive FDM process. Means a little more work with the primer...

Now the first parts for the AH-1 Cobra in 1:6,2 scale (Baumann). The missile launcher is designed so that the parts can be positively plugged together with a little glue. Some of the parts are also screwed together.

Especially for the Alouette II, I have constructed another shock absorber at the request of a customer. This has 5 rings less than the Lama's shock damper and the set also includes the lower clamp as well.
For the Alouette II in scale 1/4 I drew the oval antenna on the cockpit which is mounted on some military versions. The lamp base (in overlength) is also part of the set and is prepared to integrate an LED. The struts still need to be cut from length and adapted to the cockpit. Tubes are included with the set.
