He has it tagged as Fujimi but I still guess 1/72. You don't see a non-Navy bird built everyday. Edited June 12, 2017 by Tank Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Very nice - cool subject, too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RCAFFAN Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Looks like a 1/72 Fujimi to me as the Airfix/MPC had better detail especially on the rotor.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RCAFFAN Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 The 4th grey tag at the top of the page does say "What If" in case no one noticed, but it does look good......... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RotorheadTX Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share Posted June 15, 2017 Thanks, all. Yes, it's the 1/70th Fujimi Sea Sprite. A nice old kit, but the scale goof and horrid windscreen really make a fail. I was building it as a Navy companion for my YSH-2E, but a painting accident ended up in a what-if scheme. Back story?? The USAF insisted on twin engines for their mid-range rescue & logistics support helo, Bell's 212 / xH-1N was blackballed for the Canadian engine pack and associated Viet Nam politics. USAF had a good relationship with Kaman via the H-43's, so Kaman got the contract. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
