I really like the Swift body 109a. But for some reason they only offer it ready to install the Swift into in the Agusta 109A 30 size Painted Fuselage (Coast Guard) - Swift version.
It has all the frames installed and looks like a very easy build.
But I like the Agusta 109A 30 size Painted Fuselage (Blue) version instead. But it does not appear to have the frame work for the Swift.
I have contacted Century three time now asking if a blue version will be available for the Swift. Or if the frame work that is in the Coast Guard version with the retracts, could be bought separately.
I have still not received any reply from them. Do they ever respond to questions. Or is there anybody on this site that can answer my questions ?

There have been a number of articles in the two British heli magazines (Model Helicopter World and Rotor World) written by a number of people, who have installed the Swift into a number of the FunKey (Century) 30 size scale fuselage....painted and unpainted.

You may want to google their sites and get the copies of the articles. It seems it is relatively simple.

From what I have seen, over the years from Century, it will probably just be a matter of time before they offer a selection of fuselages for the Swift.

Personally, I really like the Coast Guard version of the A109 w/retracts, that they first chose to make available.

It does look really nice. But I think the blue version really stands out. And far surpasses what I could do if I got the unpainted version and tried to do one like it ...
