1/72 CH-118 (Italeri UH-1D)


Recommended Posts

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!

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.

Great looking huey, the snow-shoes are top notch & the colours really flatter...well done indeed!
