And if you have a close look at option 3 you will see that it flew both with and without the large sponsons, it was operated by the JGSDF from Okinawa and the rather nice colour scheme was also used on UH-1's and MU-2's which were used for SAR from the island. Don't know how, but I've zapped your answer. This is good news! Now I got my subject, time to get the decals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milktrip Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Ordered a kit. I'm going to try and attempt either this one or maybe this one or I'll just go OOB. Roll on March Cheers Aaron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two great choices for your build, though I suspect the Columbia Helicopters one will be much easier to do as it is ex-military and has the same windows as all the kits do (except for the blown side windows on the cockpit) whereas the New York one has a completely different window layout, and they are square as opposed to round. 6 hours ago, Nigel Heath said: Thanks for the reminder about this, Hobby Boss kit now on order from Hannants. Now where did I put those decals? Really glad that you are still with us on this one Nigel as I love your helicopter builds. With both yourself and Aaron on board I think we have 2 of the best helicopter modellers in the BM community taking part, I think this will be an excellent GB and I'm looking forward to seeing all of the builds come together. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spruecutter Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I didn't know that much about the CH-46 / KV-107 / CH-113 so while waiting for the STGB to start, I have been doing a bit of ferreting around on the interweb. I quite fancy doing a Canadian machine, before the 1985 upgrade. Something like this: CH-113 Labrador_11308_1 The pic above was scraped off Google Images but I couldn't see any copyright notice for it. The Air-Britain Photo Library has got some nice archive shots of the CH-113. I am posting a link as their pictures are copyright. https://abpic.co.uk/pictures/view/1439477 Cheers Richard 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An excellent use of the time before the GB begins Richard! And a nice couple of choices too, I'm leaning heavily towards a Canadian machine myself and a couple of others are going that way too so this should be a very colourful GB. I'm sure I've got the Belcher Bits decal sheet somewhere, I really must go and look for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted February 20, 2019 Author Share Posted February 20, 2019 Just had a very troubling evening, I went to check the schemes available on my Belcher bits sheet and guess what, it wasn't in the decal stash!!!! I then went on to check out everywhere I could think of and the more places I checked the higher the panic level rose to, I even checked the outdoor stash (where my Fujimi kits were stashed and have now brought them inside) all to no avail. In a final at of desperation I started to move anything and everything in the model room/ store room and at the very last moment they appeared from behind some boxes they had fallen behind, there now followed a celebratory lap of the house whilst brandishing my much prized decal sheet, which I am now off to fondle and stare at my sheet in a probably inappropriate manner. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to get your prospective builds launched so we can all have a look at what you are planning. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 Really ought to get mine up and running, what with being the host and all. Of course that would mean actually making my mind up as to which to build, although I could "do an Enzo".... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SleeperService Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I'm not going to be able to join in after all SleeperDad is in hospital and my right hand isn't up to speed yet. We're taking the opportunity to get his social housing house maintenance done so I'll be busy until end-March supervising and signing off the work my brother has organised. On the bright side Swedish Decals may become available by the time I'm back at the bench. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
