This is Italeri's Bell Sioux model (US Army release) modified to represent a Westland Sioux of the Dieppe Flight, Air Troop, 40 Cdo Royal Marines, operating out of Sembawang Air Base, Singapore, 1968. Italeri do issue a British Army variant of this kit, but this was a US one, so I had to do a few small mods. The landing skids aren't quite right, and the radios behind the fuel tanks are a little small, but otherwise I hope I've captured it. I added said radios, paper seatbelts, the small blade antenna and ground plane, plus the whip aerial on the tail. Decals come from my spares box. I've seen an etch replacement tail boom for this kit, but quite honestly the kit parts seem good enough for me. They are a little fiddly, but the only real issue I had was aligning the engine - although it doesn't really show, I think mine is at too much of a slant forward and I'm not sure where or if I went wrong.
