[FREE] 1/250 GAF Nomad Papermodel

GAF (Government Aircraft Factory) Nomad is Australian utility aircraft first flown in the 70's. It was immediately considered as a problematic aircraft because of incorrect calculations being used, increasing stability issues, thus compromising its safety (out of 172 aircraft assembled, 32 involved in an accident with total loss, let that sink in).

Was not really in a mood for a complicated papermodel so 1/250 it is, the models have two variant inside, N-22A and N-24B, both based from Indonesian Navy's 800 Squadron, flown by Penerbal (Pusat Penerbangan Angkatan Laut-Naval Aviation Centre). 

N-22A


N-24B, basically the stretched N-24A

[PREMIUM] 1/72 HAL Marut Papermodel

HF-24 Marut (Sanskrit for "Spirit of the Tempest") was a Indian 60's fighter-bomber aircraft. It was Indian first jet aircraft produced and also Asian jet fighter to go into mass production. Designed by Kurt Tank, it was originally purposed as interceptor aircraft but spent most of its service as a ground attack aircraft.

Cool design for a 50's-60's aircraft, could had better fate.

[FREE] 1/35 Ferret Armoured Car Papermodel

The Ferret armoured car, also commonly called the Ferret scout car, is a British armoured fighting vehicle designed and built for reconnaissance purposes. The Ferret was produced between 1952 and 1971 by the UK company Daimler. It was widely used by regiments in the British Army, as well as the RAF Regiment and Commonwealth countries throughout the period. 

A total of 4,409 Ferrets, including 16 sub-models under various Mark numbers, were manufactured between 1952 and 1962, when production ceased. It is possible to upgrade the engine using the more powerful FB60 version from the Austin Princess 4-Litre-R; this upgrade providing a 55 bhp (41 kW) gain over the standard B60 engine. According to the US Military, 20 national armies were operating the Ferret in 1996.

This model was designed in June but i just bothered to tesbuild it yesterday in an attempt to clear my work backlog (there's three actually, A-26 Invader designed and printed since April or May, and maybe Ki-43 Hayabusa and DB Jager but it was recent design so its priority not that high on my to-do list).





the model includes a two crew, a commander and a drive, i decided not to build them due to time constraint, but you can see it here by Bachtiar M.

[FREE] 1/250 Lockheed AH-65 Cheyenne & Sikorsky S-67 Blackhawk Papercraft

 The Lockheed AH-56 Cheyenne was an attack helicopter developed by Lockheed for the United States Army. It rose from the Army's Advanced Aerial Fire Support System (AAFSS) program to field the service's first dedicated attack helicopter. Lockheed designed the Cheyenne using a four-blade rigid-rotor system and configured the aircraft as a compound helicopter with low-mounted wings and a tail-mounted thrusting propeller driven by a General Electric T64 turboshaft engine. The Cheyenne was to have a high-speed dash capability to provide armed escort for the Army's transport helicopters, such as the Bell UH-1 Iroquois.

The Sikorsky S-67 Blackhawk was a private-venture, prototype attack helicopter built in 1970 with Sikorsky Aircraft research and development (R&D) funds. A tandem, two-seat aircraft designed around the dynamic drive and rotor systems of the Sikorsky S-61, it was designed to serve as an attack helicopter or to transport up to eight troops into combat.



AH-65 Cheyenne, pretty cool looking helicopter, like something you would see on anime or 80's movie.



S-67 Blackhawk, also a cool looking helicopter, reminds me of Mi-24 Hind and a shark.

A post-WWII aircraft developed for Royal Navy as Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) and strike aircraft and found itself developed into Airborne Early Warning (AEW) role, with three crew and two turboprop engine, this aircraft distinct feature is its contra-rotating propeller.

This was an earlier model made in February for commercial sale but my harddisk malfunctioned and this is the one of three (originally it has Indonesian, German, and Royal Navy version) that remains in my gmail storage, because of its older design (there's no instruction, it doesn't even have glue tab for the model) i've made it available for free.

[FREE] 1/144 MiG-21 F "Fishbed-C" Papermodel

A supersonic jet interceptor aircraft designed by Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau, low maintenance and manufacture cost, she became favorite aircraft for Eastern Bloc countries and Soviet Union's client states, some even found their way into the 21st century with upgraded avionics and weapons.

22 aircraft of this type serve Indonesian Air Force (Angkatan Udara Republik Indonesia-AURI) in preparation of Operation Trikora until the takeover by US-backed government, 13 Indonesian MiG-21s were delivered to the US while the rest are retired due to lack of spare parts and maintenance support.

About the model: this model is one of the submissions for Peri Kertas' papercraft design competition, because i ran out of place to put this model for display, that's why it's small (about 10 centimeters) but i add a little design on it (like cockpit, engine, airbrake, etc).
