Very smart looking and believable, nice job! :wub:  What's the story behind the one yellow blade though?

British SAR birds use the same, it's for visibility from above - relatively easy when you have two or more SAR birds working the same incident, especially over water, for the crew of the 'top cover' to miss the aircraft working the lower search pattern.

Hey...thanks guys ! Glad you like her. I'm a big fan of this colour scheme myself, and as per my style, once I find paints I like I have trouble putting them down ! So don't be surprised if you see a few more in these colours.... :thumbsup:

I forgot to mention much about the model. Brush painted using mostly Humbrol. I tried a few diferent things tho. Like Testors grey as a primer for the Humbrol 165, as well as white before the orange. Seems to work. The only kit mods were enlarging the center window on STB side and adding a bubble, for SAR duties and to help with hoisting. The hoist itself is from the Italeri family of Hueys, most kits give you 2 styles. In 'real' life it folds away so not to interfere with the high speed of the Osprey.

:cheers:

Now that is nice  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Like that, reminds me of RN SAR helicopters in the '60's, before the orange was replaced with red that carries on now.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Like it lots Cap'n Canada! Planned a similar scheme for my stalled Transall based V-44, not Canadian though. I was born in 64 and don't remember seeing that first paint pot design before except in photos!
