Viperguy Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) Since AMP Models makes a good HUP1,2 helocopter and a good HO3S helicopter it would be nice to have more choices than what AMP offers. Edited March 9, 2021 by KursadA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonbryon Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Seconded. I would especially like a GSB version for the HUP-2, since AMP don't supply one. Jon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Viperguy Posted February 27, 2021 Author Share Posted February 27, 2021 I'd like to see the later gull gray over white for the HUP2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Corey Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I agree, I’d like a sheet or two for these as well! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Drifterdon Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Now that would be cool! Several times I've purchased a kit based on a Caracal decal release. This would be another one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I guess I will just have to do this one - it is an interesting early type. After I release the long-awaited B-47, P-3 and KC-135 sheets, I promise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Viperguy Posted March 4, 2021 Author Share Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) Just please do some oof the gull gray over white ones. If you cn find some that flew off of the USS Forrestal I'd really be happy. Edited March 9, 2021 by Viperguy I can't spell Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) Some very nice HD-quality early 1960s carrier action starting at the 1:15:10 mark - make sure you watch for 20-25 mins. Edited March 6, 2021 by KursadA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sierrascale Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) Thanks for the link - gorgeous footage of Shangri-La's Skyhawks (VA-46 and 106), Skyrays, Marine Crusaders, photo Crusaders, Skyraiders, a Vigilante and even an AD-5 in the utility scheme.

Dutch Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) To match Andy's post, how about a Willow Grove HUP-2? Edited August 13, 2021 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) And a couple more of my own photos. Edited March 7, 2021 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Too bad the it definitely did not look like that when it was actually in service, though 🙂 I will definitely do the So. Weymouth one (is there a photo?), as well as others from other NAS, USS Shangri-La, Saratoga, Roosevelt and USS Little Rock - looks like these served everywhere, with some interesting variety in markings. If you are building one, just don't use the kit decals yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) Hmm, How about HU-2 aboard USS Franklin D. Roosevelt (CV-42) circa 1959? Edited March 9, 2021 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Or HU-1 aboard USSHancock (CV-19) circa 1963 WestPac? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Or this HUP-2 coded UR-58 with a cartoon caricature on the tail. I am not sure, but it looks like Bob Hope! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
