Haaahaa gd there’s so much talent and patience in here it makes my brain hurt. Meanwhile, I am currently suffering a fascination with RC helicopters and I don’t care for the fuselages. But scale helicopter fuselages are either 1/expensive 2/made for large helicopters or both of these things. I’m on the lowest tier of violently throwing money into the dirt and my helicopter(s) are tiny. (Blades are 110mm on this particular helicopter). After breaking the tail boom and using a bbq skewer to replace it, I realized I could do whatever I wanted lol.  So, I did what anyone else would do, off to Wikipedia! With Wagner in the back of my mind I printed out the orthographic drawing for UH-1 at 170% and glued it to some eps insulation.  It was stellar foam and very easy to shape     Polyurethane, then PVA papier-mâché  Now I’ll just cut it open and  Dangit styrofoam  Solution:Acetone  A little more PVA action  Only got 2.5 flights so never painted it Turn up the sound loud Haahaahaa  Fun fact, all this happened over the course of like a day and a half, hard to believe with this level of precision
