This little bird was in use 50 years ago.  But as a piston engine chopper, we can see something common in today's well known general aviation helicopter--Schweizer 300Cb . Squadron signal has a book about this thing: 1606 Squadron Signal Mini In Action #6 H-13 Sioux.

I didn`t realize it's so large in 1/35 scale and it's so modest when I saw it in academy's catalogue.

It comes with a marine pilot, but I didn't build it.

Even without the pilot, it's still a little too heavy on the water.
