It'll be interesting to see the outcome, the VH-71s were always an option but the cost of converting the airframes was prohibitive. The latest option was to use components from the VH71 and have new airframes (611- i think?) but with covid and all that the Cormorant Mid Life Upgrade is on hold for now. No idea of which way it was going but I think the new airframe option is now too expensive. We wait with anticipation! I got the Belcher conversion, it goes along way to convert it but there is still alot to do! I'm hoping to start this spring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give it a bit of thought on any issues I had, I remember replacing the ramp mounting pins with brass ones inserted from the main undercarriage bays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vingtor Decals has done a full set for Norwegian AW101 in 1/72 (as the XtraDecals are useless). But so far not in 1/48. Nils 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman11 Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Come on Vingtor! This the conversion set for the AW101 - and no correct decals in 1/48. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
