Help from Italian modellers

Recommended Posts

Hi to all Britmodellers but especially our Italian friends.

 

I have a question about the Forestale  NH500 and Hughes 369 helicopter markings.me what the crest is on the back of the vertical tail fin? The same crest is on the water plane when used by the Forestale. 

 

It it seems to be an Eagle with something crossed under it, a Dark Green banner over the top and edged in Goldern Yellow.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

The Woo.

Do you mean the insignia on the tail ? If so it's a red shield with green banner on top containing the crest of the Corps, a golden eagle holding two crossed axes.

On the engine cowling they carried the insignia of the Corpo Forestale air service, that can be seen here:

I say carried as starting in 2017 the Corpo Forestale dello Stato (state forrests corps, the full definition of the service) ceased to exist and its roles are now undertaken by a specialised sector of the Carabinieri
