RAGATIGER Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Hi there Well I certanily sure that this post right thread must me cold war, but anyway there is another post also here regarding Royal Marines Gazelles, so probably here also this one can get more answers Same I´m just doing a very old Airfix Westland Scout AH.1 in 1/72 scale. This by the way a wonderfull scale but this kit so neglected as at least today so few information can be found I wonder about the color scheme and the camouflage patern Also appreciated engine photos Best day Armando Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabba Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 As far as I can make out from black and white pictures in the "Falklands the Air War" they are painted in the Black/Green colour scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bootneck Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 The RM Scouts had virtually the same black/green camouflage as the AAC. Previous to the war, the words ROYAL MARINES was painted in white on each side of the fuselage boom, plus the aircraft's Code letter was positioned in white on the nose and the upper tail. These were painted out on transit to the South Atlantic. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris57 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Try the Modeldecal sheets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bootneck Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Model Art does ARMY, ROYAL NAVY and ROYAL MARINES lettering in white, and black. You will need to order their code item GEN 005 for the white decals. The sheet also contains ROYAL AIR FORCE, RAF, RESCUE and TRANSPORT COMMAND SUPPORT plus individual letters.

Jure Miljevic Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Hello Armando A decent Westland Scout walkaround can be found here, complete with quite a number of engine photos. IIRC there must be (or it used to be) at least one AM engine set available for the Airfix kit. Cheers Jure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
