SO-1221 Djinn (French-Algerian Conflict) (Plastic model) - HobbySearch Military Model Store

This item is limited to 3 per household.

--SO-1221 Gin is a two-seat light helicopter designed / manufactured by Sud-Ouest in France.
--SO-1221 is different from Sud-Ouest's early Ariel tip jet type (afterburner type, cold air tip jet), and is a cold air type tip jet type (cold cycle type, tip jet) that ejects compressed air from the tip of the rotor blades. Was adopted.
――Apart from that, like a normal helicopter, it was equipped with a `Churbo Mecha Alto Ste` turboshaft compressor drive engine for propulsion behind the cabin with two parallel seats.
――Since this machine uses a tip jet that has the advantage that the reaction of the main rotor does not occur, there is no need for a tail rotor for anti-torque, and there are two tail wings and a rudder at the rear end of the exposed tail boom. Only installed.
--The first flight was in 1953, and 178 aircraft were produced until 1968.
-Most of the aircraft produced were used by the French army, and other than the French army, the West German army and the US army purchased several aircraft each.

――When completed, the total length will be about 110 mm and the diameter of the main rotor will be about 229 mm.
-The kit comes with etched parts, painted mask stickers and 3 types of French decals.
--Completely new mold
