Darren Roberts Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 With the reprint of the SB hi-vis sheet, we'd like to follow that up with a lo-vis sheet. If anyone has some good references or ideas for the sheet, please PM me. I'd love the help! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jennings Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 (edited) Would you be interested in Canadian in service low vis? Edited March 21, 2011 by phantom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thatguy96 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 UH-3s (SH-3s with the ASW gear removed) also wore the low-vis schemes. Some UH-3Hs: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winnie Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Would you be interested in Canadian in service low vis? (In a STERN voice) Phantom, are you sitting on pictures of MY Sea King and not sharing until now??? holy cow! I built 441 (Shark-41 when outta HOTEF) in the 80's livery of voodo grey... anyways, these are on my harddrive now... To SB, YESS PLEASE! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tank Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 UH-3s (SH-3s with the ASW gear removed) also wore the low-vis schemes.Some UH-3Hs: What's up with the cargo window. Different size and color, a VIP bird? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Historyman7 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Here are some other picture of HU743 from HC-2. It is a VIP bird, it belonged to COMSIXTHFLEET. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Historyman7 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Did I mention that I would really like to see this one (and/or any others from HC-2)? But this one in particular! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I built 441 (Shark-41 when outta HOTEF) in the 80's livery of voodo grey... anyways, these are on my harddrive now... To SB, YESS PLEASE! 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Darren Roberts Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 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 H. (Rotorhead) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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?
