Dan Hayward Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Big thanks to Scott Hemsley for all his help with this one. It's the Italeri UH-1D kit converted to represent a CH-118 as assigned to the Base Rescue Flight, CFB Chatham in the early '80s. Modifications include the addition of the auxiliary fuel bladder in the cabin, stowage boxes, rescue hoist and "bear paws" on the skids. Main cabin doors are from Fireball Modelworks and the bubble windows were vac-formed by me. Hope you like it, I sure enjoyed every minute of it! -Dan 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Hayward Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 Thank you all for the nice comments, I'm glad you like it! Julien- the yellow is Testor's Model Master enamel, Insignia Yellow FS 33538. I sprayed it on over a light grey primer rather than a white base, it took 4 or 5 coats and I think the grey gave the yellow a bit more depth. Something to think about if you're going for the same shade. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
