discussion Helicopter question

[Alan 45]

When I was a kid in the 70s I made a kit of a helicopter that was similar to the chinook , I think it was smaller and had more of a pointy nose but it still had two large rotor blades situated on to of the fuselage

For the life of me I can't remember the name of it

I'm sure one of you good folks will know the name of it

Perhaps one of the Boeing Vertol series?

In the 1970s airfix made a 72nd scale Boeing sea knight, that's the only one I can remember from back then

Thanks folks for your help it was the BO 46 sea knight I remember

I'm off to scour the net for one now

John's not got anything in stock but I'm sure he could get one in if you asked.

Other than that... .. ..
