DaveCS Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 CH-135 Twin Huey 403 Squadron - 135140 As seen in 1994 in a display at Middle Wallop UK for the 50th anniversary of the D-Day landings. From the Italeri 1/72 kit Built mainly out of the box with a few scratch built add ons/changes 1) Grab handles added from brass wire/rod 2) Replaced the out of scale rear antenna with one brass rod that wasn't so out of scale 3) Bracing wires for the cutters (both on top and on the belly of the bird) 4) Clear red "top landing light" added via CMK Resin 5) Added starboard side "light" just aft of cabin sliding door - used clear styrene discs punched via a punch set Overall, a decent kit that was fun to build as my first helicopter Markings are a mix of logos/flags from Belcher Bits, letters from Colorado, roundels/fin flash from Xtradecal, and numbers from Leading Edge. Tried my best to create the 403 sqn wolf's head in this scale but damn difficult to get it to show up decently. https://www.flickr.com/photos/n48284/14233783866/ Cheers, Dave 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
