One of the presents that my wife kindly purchased for me (Thank You Darling! XX) for my Birthday this month was a model of the AugustaWestland AW1010 helicopter that featured in the climatic end scenes of Skyfall. Made by Italeri this die-cast model with some plastic parts is in 1/100 scale and is very detailed - especially when you consider it's small size. You can clearly see the Exit writing on the door! It comes presented in a box featuring stills from the film and an interesting variation on the classic Bond gunbarrel logo. I also like the way in which the helicopter model and the Skyfall logo are on the stand to the helicopter. Here are some photo's I've taken of the model: For a bit of background about the helicopters featured in Skyfall here's the press release issued by AgustaWestland in the run-up to the films release in 2012: AUGUSTAWESTLAND HELICOPTERS FEATURE IN SKYFALL |
