British Army Bell 212 info

Hi all

I am contemplating a 1/48 build of a British Army Bell 212 and am wondering if anyone knows of decals and/or camouflage schemes etc. for them please.   The marking look pretty simple but I must admit I'm not too sure of their sizing.

 

Thanks for considering my question.

Cheers

Shaun

It's 1:72, Italeri had this version inside, some years before.

Looks very nice indeed!  I had no idea that the British Army operated them!  Something else to add the the ever expanding stash!!

The cabin doors on the British Bell 212's have a later style of window which is larger than the standard door windows in the Italeri kit. 

The original batch ZH814 - 816 were delivered in in camo without the dayglo. 

The second batch destined for Belize introduced the orange engine housing. 

ZJ969 flew for a while in a bright green scheme picking up the nickname 'Kermit' (and subsequently being coded K to reflect this). 

ZK067 and ZK206 both wore camo from delivery. 

The example currently flying in the UK (ZH814) is from the Brunei allocation and the dayglo has faded to almost white.
