In the mid 1950's Westland Aircraft Limited designed the Wasp and later the Scout based from the original Saunders-Roe ("Saro") P.531 helicopter. Upon acquisition of Saunders-Roe, Westland built both the Wasp and the Scout, with the Scout's first flight in August 4th, 1960. Powered by a 1,050 shp Rolls-Royce (RR having acquired Bristol Siddeley) Nimbus 101 engine, the Scout was designed as a light utility helicopter for the British Army. The cockpit seated a pilot and passenger in the front seats, with space on the back bench for 3 more people. It was well suited for obervation, laison, training and SAR (search and rescue) roles. In SAR operations, two stretchers would be mounted on the skid undercarriage and two more in the back of the cabin. While most commonly used in SAR, the Scout was also tasked a light attack helicopter when fitted with two L7 GP machine guns and up to 4 SS.11 anti-tank guided missiles.

This AH-Mk1 Scout model has been designed for the Jakadofsky PJW series turbine engine along with Len Mount's turbine mechanics. As Len's other turbine fuselages, the Scout is a dream to work on, as the openings and windows are large enough to fit your hands easily inside and there is enough space to add a completely detailed cockpit and interior. While each modeler decides how much detail is added, our browser section displays an awesome example of how much detail is possible.

New modelers should be aware that between opening your new AH-Mk1 Scout fuselage box and finishing the model to the level shown in the gallery can take between 3 to 18 months, depending on how much time you can commit to building and finishing.
