A limited-run kit of the unmanned helicopter MQ-8C Fire-X in 1:48 scale from the manufacturer Brengun. It is intended for more experienced modelers with experience of cast parts.
Responsibility details are not available.
A kit of the unmanned helicopter MQ-8C Fire-X in 1:48 scale. It comes from a limited-run range that the manufacturer builds on cast parts complemented by etch, so in its demands and in the way it is worked it differs from an ordinary injection-molded kit. Please check the exact composition of the particular package with the manufacturer; it cannot be deduced from the name.
The Fire-X came about as a demonstrator of an unmanned helicopter built on the airframe of a light civil machine of the Bell 407 category, that is, a single-engine helicopter with a conventional arrangement of main and tail rotor. The aim was to replace the pilot with a control system and obtain a platform with substantially greater endurance and payload than the smaller unmanned helicopters of the previous generation had. From this line of development came the type introduced under the designation MQ-8C. For a modeler it is interesting in that it is the well-known shape of a civil helicopter without a cockpit, fitted with military equipment.
First wash the parts in lukewarm soapy water, so that the mold release disappears from the surface. Cut the casting blocks off with a fine saw or a cutting disc, not with nippers. Sand wet and with respiratory protection. Cast and photo-etched parts are glued with cyanoacrylate or epoxy; cement for polystyrene does not work here. Spray the whole model with primer, as paint holds badly on a smooth surface without a base. Assemble the tail boom and the rotor blades while checking the geometry, ideally against a ruler, so that the rotor does not sit crooked.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
