It is fitting that I began my 1/72 scale, diecast helicopter collection with an EC-135 and I complete it with one. Again the base model was a German military helicopter. Unlike the G-SASA model, this time I was successful in removing all the glazing before repainting. Unfortunately getting it back in again was near impossible, so I’ve bodged that. I’ve used scrap plastic as a searchlight and camera pod mounted to the skids.
The application of G-PSHU wasn’t borne of any particular interest in that helicopter. To be honest I had used pics of G-SPAO as my reference material, only realising late on that this was the helicopter destroyed in the Clutha tragedy. That wouldn’t be appropriate, so PSHU it is.
