Very impressive work, for sure! Liking the variety, as well as your neat workmanship 🙂

I am just speechless! Awesome job! I particularly love Polish Trzmiel (the original still resides in Krakow) and HZ-1 Aerocycle (imagine flying that with such "chopper blades" below you...)

How did you even get the blueprints and reference material for these obscure birds..

Mainly on various aviation websites - aviastar.org, airwar, secretprojects and the like. There are often diagrams or drawings and basic dimensions.
Various diagrams are on drawingdatabase.com.
And just searching the Internet has not been canceled yet.
When creating the JK-1, I used paper model patterns. For the H-3 Colibri, I found a brochure from the manufacturer from 1958.
Plus, working from a photo.
With the Kellet KH-15 Stable mable, it is more difficult. To determine the dimensions, I had to work from frames of video footage of helicopter tests. And so on.
