104D Randles Hiller Helicopter XH-44 - The Hiller-Copter
Vaccuform Model Kit, Box Condition: VG
Very rare kit from the mid 1940s. This is a large (6.5 inch fuselage with a 13 inch rotor span) model of this unique 1944 craft. Features profile (2D) cut fuselage, hardwood rotor blades, factory cut rotor mount, wood stock as required, an envelope of small parts. Includes excellent full size plans with templates, detail drawings, window patterns, construction tips and history. Never started and complete. Randles was another name for Ranco and may have simply been the deluxe version of the Ranco kits as they shared the same address. Just a few of those kits include the B-29, Cessna Bobcat, Sikorsky Helicopter and Kellett Auto Giro. There is evidence that they made boat kits also.
