As There is still a few weeks left to run in this group build I thought I would do another build. From the stash I have retrieved the 1/72nd Amodel kit of the Piasecki HUP Retriever. I am going to build it as one of the three Canadian helicopters of this type and using decals from Print Scale. The Retriever was designed to a USN requirement for a rescue and communication helicopter for use on aircraft carriers and ships. A prototype first flew in 1949 and entered service in 1951. There were four variants. The HUP1 had horizontal stabilisers on the tail, which were deleted on the HUP2- 16 replies

I suspect that Leo Pettipas' book on Canadian Fireflies may have something, but my copy has disappeared. Similarly, there may have been something in a more recent

Greetings all this will be my number 2 build for this GB. It was going to be a number 1 but got trumped by my Seaking. So here we have the A-Model Piasecki Hup 2/3. I will be opting for a Hup 3 version of the Canadian Navy. I researched the kit and it seems a bit tricky in places but builds into a nice little kit (hopefully). The only pick up was the front canopy which is a bit flat, there is a vac form available but to ship it to Canada will cost around a Tenner, so I will make do! The kit has a nice bit of detail about it, even if it is a bit rough around the edges. So here are the sprue sh -
