sas007 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 (edited) Something I did 4 years ago, Hasegawa 1:200 Hercules C Mk.1P Don't know how I got it but had an idea what I wanted to do with it. After hours of fun trying to make a parachute for it ended up using a wrapper off a "Chup a Chup" lolly. Sprayed it grey and added a few lines to it and attached it to some scrap plastic.

Bertie McBoatface Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 That is epic! Brilliant diorama, lots of action, and yet simple and clear in concept. I like it a lot. Is the three colour camouflage fictional or authentic? I've never seen it before, but then I haven't seen a Herc close up for twenty years or more.

sas007 Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 Originally painted the light blue and light green Next day noticed I'd missed a part so opened what I thought was the green tin but when applied saw it was the darker shade so just added it. Don't know if there is a colour scheme like this just went for it. Do all my painting by hand out of the tin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aeronut Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 In the interests of accuracy the RAF didn't conduct LAPES (Low Altitude Parachute Extraction System) drops they did ULLA (Ultra Low Level Airdrop), a similar concept but totally different equipment.

F-32 Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Very nice, great idea with the chuppa chup wrapper - you get to make a parachute and eat a chuppa chup, everyone's a winner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
