Madaxeman started this off with his 1/300th Hinds for CWC
,
I gave Kris a call at Hurlbat (www.hurlbat.co.uk) and after a quick email exchange asked him for a custom five bladed rotor for a 1/600th Hind (I had wanted enough for all my helos but as this was new project it had a bit of risk so limited it to enough of these and tail rotors (not yet photo'd) for 5 machines
and
Impressed with:
A. The company responsiveness
B. Cost,
C. Flexibility. These were custom 29mm diameter with small hole and they are willing to do more! So new rotor disks for my HH-53C and the rest of my 1/600th helos inbound Si |

Most excellent! The one thing stopping me from ordering Tumbling dice Helos was the lack of rotors. This solves it in a beautiful manner! |

Nice! I just finished painting up a bunch of Oddzial Osmy helos, and looking for a rotor disc solution. |

29mm diameter main rotors(five bladed rotor for Hip and Hind)
21mm diameter main rotors (four bladed for Lynx)

He started off doing them in 1/300th. He has been very flexible and he has just sent me the drafts of the wish list above. I image that he will be equally approachable to other requests. Give him a line hurlbat.co.uk and then choose contacts Si |

Resurrecting an old thread….. So Hurlbat is out of business. The company that took them over, Lazerdesigns, is also out of business. Anyone know of a source selling similar rotor discs to those produced by Hurlbat? The peel and stick film ones from Pico Armor just don't cut it. |

was going to do the rifle teams next, but he forgot something…
