T700 DIY Turboshaft Engine Model - The Iconic Black Hawk helicopter

[Potaka]

Built this T700 turboshaft engine model together with a friend — and it was a blast! It took the two of us about two hours to finish, and we had a great time working on it side by side. Definitely one of the more enjoyable builds I've done recently.

You can see the level of detail in the parts — pretty impressive for a model of this scale. Everything fit together nicely and made the build feel really satisfying.

Here's the finished engine. It's motorized, and when you turn it on, it even makes a sound that mimics how it would run in the air. A very cool feature that really brings it to life. Honestly, this was a super fun project all around.

Has anyone else here built something similar? I'd love to hear your experiences!

level of detail

Very cool. Have not seen this type of model before... all metal with screws? Nice!

Which scale is this? It looks fairly big but it's hard to tell from the photos how big it actually is.

Any information on the model or links would be appreciated

You guessed it right! The parts are actually made of metal, and once it's fully assembled, it can move — with sound, too! And honestly, the sound it makes is surprisingly realistic.

This model is 1:4 scale and comes with metal parts you assemble yourself.

If you're interested, you could buy one too and build it — we can trade build tips and experiences, haha!
