SPA Modeler

Finished this British Army bell 212 a couple of weeks back. Its an Italeri kit from the 90's, but i have updated the kit and colours based on photo's of this aircraft on 7 Flight AAC FB page from 2019. It was based out in Brunie where the British army has a jungle warfare training based. But i have recently found out that its now at Middle Wallop where its used to train pilots.

I added an eduard PE set and decals are a mix or kit and spares box, the latter mainly around the windows. I used hataka paints for the green/grey scheme and tamiya for the rest.

Very nice!

Man, that is great looking.

Beautiful!

Well done, Martin.

Looks good Bish! Almost the same our UH-1N. What is the item on the tip of the nose? Is it a radar or a FLIR mount?

Thanks guys.

Carlos, this is the Augusta built verion of the UH-1N, the Italeri kit is sold under that designation and you can build a US and Austrian versions as well as British.

Thats a good question, and i have no idea. I can't find any referance to it and it does seem unique to the British version.

Very nice Bish!

That is fantastic Martin! I love it. I need to get me one and make it British.

Thanks guys.
