Ccg Dolphin

[Captain Canada]

Got a sweet deal on this bird....16 bucks. There's a couple more there, albeit the SAR versions. One has Norweigan decals, I think, which might be interesting. ( hint hint, I'm looking for an excuse to buy it if somebody wanted the decals )

[anthonyp]

Heh, drunken minds think alike.  I just ordered some CCG decals and was going to do a 1/72 RoG HH-65 up as a CCG companion to the Canadian SAR HH-65 I did last year (or was it the year before, I forget?).

I'll take those Norwegian decals if no one else wants them (Why, yes, I'm an enabler, why do you ask?).  I'm sure I've got something to trade for them.

[Captain Canada]

The more HH-65s the better !

I was just reading the box.....those Chinese are hilarious with their translations !

"Z-9G-an armed helicopter developed from the Z-9A, can be used for anti-tank attack, ground fire suppress, scattered target attack, anti-horror assault, aerial patrol, communication etc. when equipped properly. Z-9G is powered by two WZ-8A turbo shaft engines which are made by South Power Corporation under the licence of Turbomeca for production patent, with maximum emergency power 734 HP of each. Z-9G can can be equipped with missile, rocket, cannon, machine gun etc. and attack the target very accurate by application of special electronic device."

Yup, I wish my armed forces had an anti-horror assault capabilty, them pesky living dead are getting out of hand !

anti-horror assault

I've got a dilemma here....to paint it yellow and red SAR ? Red CCG ? Or maybe gray with some white and red ? Or black and red as a night bird ?

Ugh......

[anthonyp]

I was going to do a 1/72 in Red and White, so a larger version of it might look cool, though those other colour combos you mentioned would be awesome!

Cockpit is coming together

I've got a dilemma here....to paint it yellow and red SAR ? Red CCG ? Or maybe gray with some white and red ? Or black and red as a night bird ?

Ugh......

Slightly crazy, but how about a retro lightning stripe scheme with red/black fuselage band???  Just to make your dilema that bit easier..... :dum:

That's one blue cockpit you've got there, pilots'll need sunglasses whatever the weather!  

[Captain Canada]

It's actually gray ! Just the crap lighting I took the photos in.

Hmm......retro scheme....never thought of that !

 

[Captain Canada]

This thing was really starting to look wrong....until I painted the windscreen black and looked at a bit of the red. Now she's back on track !

[anthonyp]

Looking good, Toad!  I like your drink of choice.

[Captain Canada]

Progress......

I'm still waiting to hear from Bill at canmilair.com about some 'SURVEILANCE'  decals for this bird, as used by the CCG. If I don't hear from him soon, she'll be wearing standard CCG decals. But then I'll have to mask 'er up and spray on the white stripe.





She's also gonna be carrying a MAD sensor from a Fuji OH-6 kit, and maybe a torpedoe as well.

OK, Toad San, you got my attention !

[Captain Canada]

She's coming along nicely, Ian ! I'm just waiting for some decals and then i can glue on all the fiddly bits.
