About product

Enstrom 480 – 1:72, Eduard (a hybrid kit)

A hybrid kit of the American light helicopter Enstrom 480 in 1:72 scale from Eduard. It combines injection-molded plastic parts with fine 3D-printed parts (among others the cabin, the rotor head, the tail rotor and the antennas), so it offers a higher level of detail than a purely plastic kit. A painting mask for the glazing and decals for several finish options are included. For the exact contents of the package and the number of schemes, follow the instructions and the label.

The real subject

The Enstrom 480 is a light single-engined turbine helicopter from the American company Enstrom. It is powered by a turboshaft engine of the Rolls-Royce (Allison) 250 series and has a typical three-blade main rotor. The machine is used above all for pilot training, civil tasks and light police or military service. It stands out for its simple, robust design and good flying qualities.

Building and painting tips

Glue the plastic parts with a thin modeling cement for plastic; wash the 3D-printed parts first and free them of any residues and thin supports, then glue them with super glue (cyanoacrylate). Cover the cabin glazing with the mask supplied and spray with an airbrush over a base color (primer). The small 3D parts call for careful handling.

Who the model is for

  • modelers with basic experience who want to try working with 3D-printed parts
  • collectors of helicopters and civil aircraft in 1:72 scale
  • anyone interested in a detailed model of a smaller turbine helicopter

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No, it is a hybrid kit – the injection-molded plastic parts are completed with fine 3D-printed parts for a higher level of detail.

The model is in 1:72 scale and its manufacturer is Eduard.

A less experienced modeler will manage the basics, but working with the small 3D-printed parts calls for care and super glue.
