OU Mediflight
Eurocopter EC130B4

This model was carved by the artist at  http://www.planearts.com Email:  Sales@planearts.com .  It is a model of the University of Oklahoma Medical Center EC130 Mediflight.    Take a look at their Ebay auctions! 

Folks, the artists and craftsmen at Plane Arts are unbelievable!  Using line drawings and photographs they reproduced an exact replica of this aircraft in sticking detail.  This model is crafted entirely by hand out of a block of mahogany (the rotors are made of bamboo).  The photographs below detail the entire process.

I recommend them 110%.  If you have questions about this article please contact Larry Lorance

The craftsman paints the model with a putty base paint.  This smoothes out the model for the final processes;  the graphics.
