Wessex UH.5 Italieri 1:48


Recommended Posts

Hello Koralik,

What a selection of Wessex helicopters and the UH-34G from I think the Federal German Navy.

Finished to perfection. My compliments. Regards, Orion / The Netherlands.

You've built an amazing set of Wessexes. I've recently been toying with the idea of building a helicopter and I think you've inspired me to get one of these. The price of the kit is quite attractive too!

Lovely build and finish. Only just noticed Italeri have referred to it as the ‘UH5’. Pretty sure that designation should be ‘HU5’ unless the old memory is playing up. Either way a very nice build. Used to live not a million miles from Shawbury and loved watching their HC2’s training.

Very nice bunch!

But did the Navy use that cameo scheme?

I was thinking the same. I assume from the ship tail code HMS Victorious and then the RAF camouflage make this a piece of returning kit, which the 'pussers' just had to 'blend in'. At a guess a retired Hong Kong cab. Do you have a reference for this Koralik64?

Hello Koralik,

Wessex is my number one helicopter.

You did great on the latest RN version.

Regards,

Orion.
