Great work KursadA - defenitely placing a pre-order for both sheets

That’s good to hear. There is a lot of possible scheme inspiration with the various RVHP boxings. And I personally like this one here although this particular aircraft was lost in an accident:

What about a sheet for the recently announced 72nd scale Sword kit. Lots of interesting schemes including FAA and Sweden.

I'm no H-34 expert, but I believe that with anti-sub Seabats the sliding door could be seperated in halves (Think I've seen this with Italian ones). So, from my point of view, what you see in the picture is actually the rear part of the sliding door which is slid over the center of the national insignia. If there would be an additional swing door, the national insignia would be most likely painted over it. Otherwise: stunning work as usual

I have the Jayhawk interior set for the Hobby Boss kit released by Air Graphics and it has superb detail

certainly you mean this one: I don't know any particular reasons why the USCG does not use them on Jayhawks. But I guess they take possible cruise speed restrictions and maybe also weight into consideration. Also it landings in snow with this type of helicopter and its missions are maybe quite rare there might be no reason to think about fitting them.

I believe it must be RAL 7012 "Basaltgrau"

They tried to consider some of the differences with their PE parts. They include antennae, fuselage piping, some smaller other things, a rescue basket and hoist sling. Hoist, fuel jettison pipe and two other small parts are provided in resin. The modeller has to fill the port aft window and door panel lines of the AS-365 on his own. I haven't done any measurements so far but I think the stbd aft cabin window should be larger with a HH-65. The modeler needs to remove/cut away the civilian sliding door rails. The aft cabin is completely empty. The front seats are incorrect for a

This is certainly the best Huey model representation I've seen so far.

Just In case you can't wait: http://www.belcherbits.com/lines/decals/bd20.htm You'll find the floatation gear for the Swedish ones at Belcher Bits as well...

I agree, nice kit with some goodies. But the canopy framing- someone must have been sleeping in the design department. Another thing is that the USAF option shows aux fuel tanks which aren't included in the kit. It would have been nice if they had also included the type of main gear struts which have an airfoil covering

It's basically the same, but beware of different rear cabin door arrangements (also with the civvie ones). What is the original aiecraft you want to build?

The fact whether a radar is fitted or not is not a matter of the Dauphin's version. Also civil AS-365 N2-3 can carry the nose of a AS-565 Panther. Study your reference material as there are different nose cones (e.g. the one of HH-65C/D is different to that one of the French Navy AS-565.) AFAIK, most of the differences between a N2 and a N3 are internal (digital engine control, stronger engines, uprated transmission). The only external difference is the fact that a N3 has a ten bladed (instead of 11) fenestron with asymmetrical blade distribution.

I'm Vers happy that you heard my request and included a VXE-6 scheme and the SC/HC-54. Great to have a producer like you who takes care of the customers wishes!

I bought two in Germany for 67,95 € - that's about 76 USD. But the postage will make it rising ... As far as the decals are concerned: I would also take two sheets.

Italeri will release the Esci (A)B-206 Jet Ranger with civilian doors/windows later this year as Carabinieri special boxing

would you like to show us the schemes? *cantwait

seems to me that they hired civilian H500 for the movie. The extended skid tubes are used if floats are fitted

LD, comprehensive and good analysis! Reflects my points very well.

I now had the opportunity to jugde about the Airfix product more closely. I'm willing to change my mind slightly. Airfix offers a solid kit and maybe the shape is the most accurate of any Sea King available. With serious effort, a decent model could certainly be made from this Kit. Some solutions could be considered as innovative - like the transparent sliding and crew door, landing and disco lights. On the other side, there is a serious downfall with the details. Maybe für economic reasons lots of parts seem to me too much simplified. It starts with the interior seating and cabin wall det

the main issue is the square shape of the cabin windows (like H-34s) Get the HU Mk. 5 try to get hold of this one: http://www.aviationmegastore.com/westland-wessex-hc2-conversion-set-italeri---rc48007-rotorcraft-rc48007-model-conversion/product/?action=prodinfo&art=111709

I would also consider one for the Italeri-Echo
