Finally finished for your viewing pleasure, Italeri's 1/48 H-21 Flying Banana. Mostly OOB with the BigEd H-21 P/E masking set. Some extra decals from my spare box to give this little chopper Edwards AFB Test Center Rescue Chopper livery late 1950's. Paint a mixture of Model Master, Tamiya, and AK Interactive. Lower portion is Bare Metal Foil Chrome. [ You can find the WIP here: Thanks for stopping by and having a look see. All comments, suggestions, and critiques' are always welcome.

Well what else could a Minion do? I tried to resist for as long as possible but I am a truly weak willed Minion at the best of times, and as we all know this isn't the best of times! So in the ebst Minion style I reached into the stash and pulled out a BANANA!!! No not a large bendy yellow herb but a 1/72 Italeri Piasecki H-21 Shawnee or as it is usually referred the "flying banana". I really like the early helicopters and this has long been a favourite of mine, in fact this will not be the first time I have built one as I built a RCAF machine in a rather fetching red, white and blue rescue scheme. this time around I shall be building her as a USAF machine assigned to the flight test centre at Edwards AFB as my model clubs theme for this year is "testing times" and as it was my idea I thought I needed to build something else along the theme, I have built an AV-8B and am part way through a B-57E already ( really must finish that!) so this will join the line up. As usual lets start with box and contents shots; And the decals, some of which will come in handy; Now as I said I am still building for a model club theme so I intend her to end up like this; https://www.helis.com/database/cn/41702/ Now it might take me a week or so to get started as I have other projects to finish and two GB's to co-host with another on the way so don't go expecting rapid progress, or any at all to start with, but I am looking forward to this one. So until I get started, poopaye! Craig.
