KursadA Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) CD48148 will be a 1/48 scale sheet for the CH-47, designed for the Italeri kit. I will try to cover a few US and international options for later/current Chinooks and I am open to suggestions. Coming in early 2019.

skyhawk174 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Well that is a surprise. I know it would be a stretch but the Argentine AF flew the Chinook in Antarctica in a nice blue/white and dayglo scheme. Been wanting to do one of those but I think I have to change the nose of the kit or maybe not. Just an idea for your consideration. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AD-4N Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Early 1980s RAF HC.1 in dark sea gray/dark green/black undersides. I’d love it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Nice colour for international???? Canada. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RCAFFAN Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 (edited) I've got them in 1/72 from another manufacturer but i'm sure guys like Phantom would like one or more of the Canadian "Ds" with nose art from Afghanistan. The sheet I have has one set of markings plus nose art and numbers for all 6 and it doesn't take up too much of the sheet but at least do "2 for Hooking". There are good references on line but this might help: P.S. There is a guy on Shapeways that makes the sand filters in both 1/72 and 1/48......

Emvar Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Canadian CH-47Fs..... now we need the Extended range fuel tanks..... hope the MH-47F/G would be included. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You can do that with a set of generic Canadian black markings but there is no kit to put them on.......I'm sure Kursad can find lots of schemes without having to modify the kit..

phantom Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 True, its the kit less F model I want to do. I did that two for hooking D model (for someone else) using the no longer avaiable Canmilair sheet. Hopefully one day Belcher Bits makes a nice resin conversion.

tobiK Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 The camo of the JASDF CH-47J looks so good! Now we need decals incl. japanese stencils Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hooker169 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Here's something that's never been done in decal form before. These are Presidential/VIP CH-47C's from the mid 70's. Link http://www.chinook-helicopter.com/chinook/presidential.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jaypack44 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 (edited) So far as US 'Hooks go, I'd love to see this one in decal form, in case I ever get around to building one... U.S. Army CH-47D 91-00261 by Josh Kaiser, on Flickr U.S. Army CH-47D 91-00261 by Josh Kaiser, on Flickr It's still (to my knowledge) the oldest operating airframe in the U.S. Army inventory - it was slated to be donated to the Museum of Flight in Seattle a couple years ago, but that still hasn't come about. I've got quite a few walk-around photos and close-ups of most of the markings (including a couple unique interior details), if that would be helpful as well.

Stephen Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 How about RAF Chinook HC.2 ZD983 which was the RAF display Chinook for 2018 and also took part in a tour of former RAF bases in Germany. It also has the RAF 100 markings on it. https://www.airliners.net/photo/UK-Air-Force/Boeing-Chinook-HC2-352/5058061/L Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scooby Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 (edited) Another vote for Canadian CH-147Ds in Afghanistan. These were ex-US Amy Chinooks. The Nose Art was applied by the US Army, we Candianized the markings. So you could actually do a before (US Army) and after (CAF). I have pictures of them all in theatre, in fact I have an entire CD full of pictures taken by a pilot friend who flew them in my former Squadron.

KursadA Posted December 18, 2018 Author Share Posted December 18, 2018 Wow - lots of great choices here. Not sure if we can do all, but I sure will try. I will contact a few of you for reference material soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tracy White Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I've got some photos of "My Old Lady" too - probably not as thorough as Jaypack44 but I'll offer them in case they're of any help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
