Harry_the_Spider Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020   Does anyone do ZA718?  I need to start filling up a fourth box of unbuilt kits 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jure Miljevic Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Matchbox did many moons ago, here is the Scalemate link. I have one in my stash, although the colour scheme must be a post-Falkland one (Cyprus?). Kit decals already include big Union Jacks and The Survivor sign under the pilot's side transparencies.

WARDOG Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Hi Harry, Â I believe I have those Matchbox decals if you're interested. Â WARDOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry_the_Spider Posted November 10, 2020 Author Share Posted November 10, 2020 Made an offer on a Matchbox one on eBay. I love/hate the internet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FZ6 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Airfix released the Italeri kit with markings for Bravo November a few years ago. Hope you manage to track one down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Jure Certainly was Cyprus. I was there at the time on a different detachment, went back to our rooms on the Friday afternoon and they were painted as per normal. Come Monday morning and they had all the union jacks plastered all over them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asmodai Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 The Union Jacks weren’t for ZA718 in the Matchbox kit, and ‘Bravo November’ isn’t the box art Chinook, either. They, and the flags are supposedly for ZA711 in Lebanon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WARDOG Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 (edited) Well, as it goes, it goes!  I wish I had seen this post earlier and saved you a few quid! I've also been in your situation before when someone had an item for me AFTER I bought it on-line!  The Airfix kit's decals SHOULD be of better quality, certainly a lot thinner!  Happy Hunting,  WARDOG Edited November 11, 2020 by WARDOG Spelling/spacing errors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry_the_Spider Posted November 11, 2020 Author Share Posted November 11, 2020 According to Scalemates ZA718 is a decal option for the Matchbox kit.  EDIT  https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Matchbox-Chinook-Hc-Mk-1-CH-47D-1-72-Model-Kit/154042406967?hash=item23dda49837:g:3nAAAOSwlGxfMvfA  Yep, BN is in there. I didn't pay anywhere near this much for it BTW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jure Miljevic Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Hello Thanks for the correction, Asmodai, that scheme does not apply for ZA718. Harry_the_Spider, Matchbox kit does include ZA718 option, although The Survivor title and the unit badge on the tail decals are redundant for Falklands. Jabba, thank you for that info. I think one of the Italeri Wessex kits also comes with Cyprus Union Jack decals. Those two would make pretty colourful models. Cheers Jure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
