Clarence sent me this in a box of miscellaneous bit and stuff.No wheels or blades. Only markings are the type of helicopter. I don't know who made it.It is my favorite color of all time, metallic blue.It is an off scale for me but I suspect I can find wheels and something for blades. It will likely end up as a museum exhibit, or maybe gate guard.Clarence also sent me this great giant ant, he was red plastic.One red ant does not make much of a colony so I painted it bronze color.I plan to use it as a yard decoration for my Steve Sweetman Institute of Myrmecology.Very good coverage for the paint.

Very nice shade of blue!
Thank you Gavin and thanks for posting!
You can make “spinning” chopper blades with a thin plastic circle. (I’ve seen this done with miniature fighter planes from WWI and II.) If you want some color, make squiggly “movement” lines on the plastic. Coloring the edge red or yellow, either as a circle or a set pattern with “gaps” can give the effect of “warning” color tips often on helicopter blade ends.
Good idea, I like the tip tip too!
