Choose your second modelThe Bell 47B Vintage Enclosed-Cabin Large Mahogany Model by High Flying Models is a museum-quality tribute to the true dawn of commercial rotary-wing aviation. On March 8, 1946, the Bell 47 made history by receiving the world's first commercial helicopter certification. Before the iconic "soap bubble" canopy became the industry standard, Arthur M. Young's initial production run featured an executive, automobile-inspired fabric and aluminum sheet metal cabin. This handcrafted scale model preserves that fascinating and rare design milestone.
Individually shaped and detailed by master artisans, this solid wood replica highlights the sleek, fully faired fuselage, high-set anti-torque tail rotor, and robust tricycle gear configuration. Standing 11.5 inches tall on its base, the model balances perfectly on a polished, detachable mahogany presentation stand connected via a sweeping metal upright sleeve. It is an extraordinary, highly specific gift for helicopter pilots, aviation history scholars, and elite collectors who appreciate deep-cut historical accuracy.
