scale bodies for the Piccolo!

When the Ikarus ECO Piccolo 'indoor' helicopter was first advertised, they referred to their intention to produce a range of scale bodies for the model at some time in the future. Later advertising made no reference to this, and I wondered if I had imagined it or the idea had been dropped, but at Sandown Model Symposium, the model was being flown with a beautiful little Hughes 300 body.

The Hughes 300 body is now available in a kit which includes everything required to convert the standard Piccolo, including new rotors. I've seen it advertised by Midland Helicopters at £39.99.

Also in the pipeline are scale fuselages of the Airwolf, a Bell UH-1 Huey and a Bell 222. There is a possibility of retracts being produced for the Airwolf/Bell 222. The ECO Piccolo is distributed by J Perkins Distribution.
