Just like Twinpac earlier, this is a premium model for Ecardmodels and testbuild by Maulatama Jaka who also testbuilt some of my commissioned models.

[PREMIUM] Sikorsky S-58T "Twinpac" Papermodel

A further development of S-58/H-34 Choctaw, Indonesian Air Force personnel nicknamed this helicopter codot (Javanese for fruit bats) because of its distinctive shape (nowadays people would call it capybara but Indonesian Twinpac already retired far before the entire capybara meme even exist).

A premium model for ecardmodel by me, testbuild by Maulatama Jaka. Link is down below

[PREMIUM] 1/100 SNCASO "Dever" Papermodel

Dever (Decollage Vertical - Vertical Takeoff) is a 1950's French supersonic VTOL interceptor design with a combination of rocket and jet engine propulsion. Equipped with single Matra missile, this aircraft is more akin to a manned missile (with another missile on the tow).

This is some unconventional design to anticipate the unavailability of conventional airfield after enemy attacks, reminds me of German's triebflugel design.

i don't know what they consume back in 50's but i imagine it's some strong stuff...


yes, it can stand
