  Steve,
  Some photos of a Bell 47 helikopter. The swedish police used this type for trafficcontrol and search-missions. This Helikopter is a Bell 47G-4 and registrated for the police from 1966 to 1979. After that it flew privatly until 1987 when it crshed.
  I built this from the Italeri 1/72 kit number 095, after having found some good photos in a booklet. 
  There had to made some converting mainly inside the canopy like different instruments, addind of a traficcontrol-camera, changing to singlecontrol and taking care of the items seen on the pictures. Obviously this flight was used for transporting some kind of Box in the passengerseat.
   Exterior conversation took as long time, most significant I had to add a triangular storagebox,built out of plasticcard, just behind the engine and a rectangular plate for the text POLIS. Also the engine differs pretty much exspecially the exhaustsystem. This was quite a tiny job to get allthing right with new pipes and so.
  All control-cabels are added too, but you cann´t see that good on the pictures. Italeri makes two different kits so you have to use the no 095 to get the right landing-gear. No antennas can be used from the kit, due to complete different eqipment used by the police.
  All decals are produced by my self and printed on an Alps-printer.
  Let me know if you need better quality on the pictures.
  Cheers
  Anders
