Call for lo-vis Seaking references


Recommended Posts

That'd be cool! Lots of interesting low-viz schemes out there over the years (which seems like an oxymoron, doesn't it?). BTW, it's "Sea King" - two words ;)

I sure wish there were a proper ASW interior set for the Hasegawa kit.

My wife is Canadian. So, I probably shouldn't say anything, but I will. What is it about Candian aircraft that makes them so unattractive in comparison to maybe the same bird in US markings or any other country's markings for that matter?

I hate to sound like a real s*^t-bird here, but somebody has to say it. Even the Canadian 18s look like 'metrosexuals' compared to any other (well, maybe not the Spanish birds) 18s I've se out there. I think if they just get rid of that Roundel with the Maple leaf on it, they may get some respect. Even The Kiwi Air Force gets more respect than these guys do.

(My wife dared me to add this to the forum and being the crazy ex-Navy Airdale that I am, I had to do it and get it off my chest finally.)

I will say this though. One of the only plane I can respect with your markings on it is the CL-(215)415 water-bomber. Pretty hard to not look cool with those yellow and red colors.

This is some good stuff, guys. I'll chat with Gordon about if he wants to include Canadian subjects. My only concern is if there were any lumps and bumps added to the Canadian versions. I'm ignorant when it comes to Sea Kings (thanks for the correction Jennings!).

Need not worry about the lumps and bumps!! Mike Belcher of BelcherBits has taken care of that!!

Would be very nice to have some low viz Sea Kings out there, it is my favourite helicopter, and there simply cannot be enough of it!

Cheers

OK, Canadian Starfighters......very nicely dressed out. I'll admit that. Any Hornet in any livery could never hold a candle to the mighty F-4 or even the A-4 series. On to a nother subject........Have the US Navy birds lost their tough look lately?
