1:48 Italeri Wessex UH.5 Falklands 1982

Post by fly1ngdutchm4n »

Hi guys,
Here's my version of the Royal Navy Wessex UH.5 No 874 Squadron as it was in the Falklands war in 1982
Hope you like it and that I did this model justice. :th:
Enjoy

A very inspirational build. Love the slight sheen on the paintwork.

Very nice work Frans

Yes Mark, it was a total nightmare at some point.
Especially gluing the blade holders to the saddle. They needed to be in the correct position...

I thought so , never tried a folded rotor before
I have some helicopters left but i think non of them has that as a kit option
But i am too busy with armor at the moment to plan for one of those builds

That's another absolutely stunning result Frans - I think is even better than the yellow one you rolled out recently.

Awesome work - absolutely awesome :bow::

Must be the modulation I used.. then again, she's "vintage" too :lol:
And now I'm going to sleep out side... she heard me :mrgreen:
