Description

Help from the air

Besides fire engines and stations, a helicopter belonged in the townscape of the early eighties. This set shows a small helicopter in fire service and, at just 99 pieces, can be put together in a single afternoon. The minifigure brings the model to life, since it can sit in the cockpit or stand beside the landed helicopter. For a town with rescue services it is a sensible addition that does not take up much room. Even on a small baseplate with a landing pad, the helicopter makes a good impression.

Signal colours and see-through parts

Red is the colour of the fire brigade, while black and yellow set accents on rotors, skids or details on the body. Clear parts join them and could serve as cockpit glazing. This colour mix looks bold and unambiguous, just as you would expect from an emergency vehicle. On a shelf the helicopter is noticeable from a distance and is easy to tell apart from other aircraft in a collection. Combined with a red fire station in particular, it makes a very coherent picture.

38 types in a small space

The 99 pieces are spread across 38 different types, which is a lot of variety for a model this size. It suggests that each part has a job and there is little filler material. The complete list further down helps you check a second-hand copy or buy individual parts to replace missing ones. For an aircraft with small or movable components, comparing the list with your set is especially worthwhile. It quickly shows whether rotor parts or small accessories went missing over the years.

For play, display and rebuilding

The set suits children who act out small rescue scenes as well as collectors of classic town sets. If you like rebuilding, you can use the parts for vehicles of your own after assembly. The “What can I build?” tool on Bricoria shows which further models can be made from your stock plus this set, so the helicopter is not just a one-off model but also a handy source of parts. Red bricks and clear elements are in demand in many custom builds and can be reused there easily.
