Modification ND EC-135 to H145M

[klnowak]

After ending the BO-105 and permission from Nemeth to post it as freeware, i started to do the next modification to an NH helicopter model.

Airbus Helicopter had changed their EC-135 to the H145M some years ago. This one is the newest helicopter in German Airforce and used for all dutys for the KSK (Kommando Spezialkräfte) off German Bundeswehr.
So i will trie to modificat this EC-135 freom Nemeth to the new version.
Many things to change.... i started with the inside model.

Inside EC-135



some days later .... inside H145M (this is the export version with weapons)



Outside model EC-135



Next step was the modification for the outside model H145M with all the new sensors, optical changes on helicopter (also shown here the export version.... you can see many modifications right now).


Some other things are done till now...so i can show up some variants in test flight.....

H145M German Airforce in different variants....

[klnowak]

And the first shots of to variants of the export model...





All this models are wip.... many changes to do.
Hope to get permission from Nemeth to post them as freeware also.

The next problem is solved. The lateral stabilizing fins in front of the tail rotor are now removed on all models and thus correspond to the original H145M.
At the same time also a picture of the change in another variant of the Bundesluftwaffe. Equipment with heavy machine gun to support the ground troops.

Another outstanding re-model, what is next?

I have to admit, when I saw EC-135 to H145, I was kind of hoping that you'd be doing the air ambulance, too, seeing as our local lot just bought a nice shiny red one to replace one of their (leased from Babcock) EC135T2's.

I'm out of luck, but excellent work on what you've done!

Very interesting variant Ian. Will have a look at this one and see if i can find pictures from the inside. I think it will be very dificult to model this.
But first i will do some other military variants.All these models aren`t ready till now... many things to do.

Next model for use in winter with "ski" (called "Schneelandehilfe" in German Airforce)

Thanks Klaus.

The Air Ambulance in the Nemeth set would be a more than adequate starting point, but I can contact MAAC and ask if they have any photos of the interior - they're usually extremely helpful. Unfortunately, as the aircraft is based at RAF Cosford on the active air station, it's very difficult to get access to. It may go to the open day at its sister aircraft's base later this year, when I may well be able to take some photos.

Looking forward to seeing the military variants anyway - I really appreciate the work you're putting in on these.

Cheers,

Ian P.

Ski in use .....







@ Ian... first step to your medical variant of Midlands Air Ambulance Charity Helicopter (but will take time.... just started this too)

[klnowak]

First of all... i`ve recieved the permission from Nemeth Designs Development Group to publish the upcoming modifications for the H145M like i did for the BO-105 as freeware. Thanks for that to ND.

And second.... i could make some progress to the H145M Midlands Air Ambulance Charity Helicopter.

Did the inside model nearly ready





Also did first changes to the outside model.



Changes has to be done to all sensors and antennas next.

[klnowak]

And this is the beginning of texturing this model... just first steps....



Some pictures from this model in flight looking to the inside...

[klnowak]

Just very little things to do on this one.......

The quality of your work and the number of creative innovations is dazzling..!
Many thanks..

[IanP]

Whoa! Wasn't expecting that, or especially not that quickly. Thanks Klaus!

Guess I'd better crack on and get their Strensham airbase done...

[klnowak]

The H145M Midlands Air Ambulance Charity Helicopter is ready....



All models got a copilot. You will see him in inside-/ outside view








Also i had done the new weapons system vom Airbus Helicopter called HForce and all export models got this system now in different variants.





Greetings
Klaus

[klnowak]

And two other variants for the German Airforce are ready to.

First the one for fastroping.












And the German Airforce H145M with HForce system in configuration that will be used by German Airforce from 2019 on.



Also all texturing for all different models are done. All german helicopter registration numbers are dome (76 + 01 to 76 + 15) and can be changed by copying the different textures.

I think it will not take a long time to make the readme and then i will upload this first part of H145M helicopters.

[klnowak]

Different components of Airbus HForce System that are modeld for this H145M Update and used in different configuration on all models.

Part two of the EC-135 modifications will start with this one .....




The UH-72A Lakota of US-Army.... many variants possible to do.

Start with the backsiderotor. It`s very different from the H145M. Also the upside of this helicopter has another look. Ok... just the start..

Greetings
Klaus

[Brian_Gladden]

Awesome. I have that bird. Local Guard unit has two or three Lakota's

[klnowak]

The first two variants are nearly ready.

The UH-72A medic....





And the one for search and rescue missions.





Greetings
Klaus

[klnowak]

That's definitely one thing about these aircraft... You'll never manage to model all the variants, because some bright spark will always have come up with another one before you finish the last one!
