This is my Bell 222 .30 size scale heli. I just finished it a few months ago. It's been flown several times and is very stable. The fuselage kit is Century/Funkey. It has retractable landing gear, full navigation lights, including a scratchbuilt landing light that lights up when the gear goes down, and turns off as the gear go up. I laid over 2500 rivets using a syringe and Elmers glue before painting. The rivets around the vents at the top are "stick on" flush rivets from Germany, as most of the details such as handles and antennas. The side windows were made with clear sheet styrene, and all glass was painted with a tinted smoke paint. The idea is for someone to tell that there is something inside but not be able to tell what it is.

I searched for weeks leading up to painting to find a color scheme I liked. I pretty much knew that I wanted royal blue and white, and ended up designing my own scheme based around a 222 I saw for sale on Ebay. I used PPG base/clear. The mechanics are Kyosho Nexus with an OS 32 engine, Futaba 401 gyro w/9253 digital rudder control, Futaba radio, Helimax carbon fiber blades, and Zeal turnbuckle linkages ****For all those who want to see her fly, click "more from this helipilot27"****One more thing, if you want to fly it and have Realflight, I designed a version for you to enjoy, download it at: http://www.knifeedge.com/forums/downloads.php?do=file&id=4482

    very very nice work. I am drooling. I am building the same century 30 size 222 right now and it is the reason why I watched your vid. I wanted to know where to put the flashers and position lights. what are the rivets..needle heads or did you buy them if so where ? where did you get the wipers? Again , amazing and spectacular work.
