Gyrocopter Cierva C.30

The first flight of the Cierva C.30 was in 1933. It was produced since 1934. 148 units were produced and used in several countries. Azur made a very beautiful kit of this historic gyrocopter. It contains resin parts (engine and rotor head), the wind shields were deepdrawn. So, I can recommend this kit to experienced modellers.

See here my video which shows the making of the model:

The video shows some scenes made with the Cierva C.30 in different paint schemes from the Vehicle Simulator (
www.hangsim.com).

I made the flight model of the virtual model. The Vehicle Simulator has very realistic physics and is simple to handle. The right amusement while waiting until glue or paint had 
finished drying.

Enjoy!

Best wishes
