Scratchbuilt 1/32 Kellet Autogiro
by James Merrigan

Construction:
The model is  really a bash of three 1/32nd scale models. The fuselage is basically the fuselage of a 1/32nd scale Japanese Willow trainer, a new turtleback was added aft of the rear cockpit, and a rounded fairing was added to the end of the fuselage. All of rhe tail surfaces both horizontal and vertical were fashioned from the lower wing of a Hasegawa F4-B. The landing gear strutting was fabricated from the N struts of both the willow and the F4-B. The rotor pylon is carved balsa, the rotor was modified from Monograms Blue Thunder.
