The Coast Guard/SAR build

[Blacklion213]

Italeri MV-22 1/48th, i might do a S-3B instead, now that i think about it that would be cooler, and more out there

...and S-3's would definitely look good in CG markings!

Et voila!  From Sentinel Chicken's "More Vikings" thread:

USCG HS-3B


USCG HUS-3B


I've been tossing around the idea of a USCG S-2 lately.

[Blacklion213]

i was going to do the reverse scheme found on the HH-65A-C's thie white on orange, btw what shade is the orange, is it International or Flourescent?

[anthonyp]

It's International Orange.

And by reverse, do you mean like the HH-65's original scheme:



That scheme is better than the overall orange one.  

However you do it up, I look forward to seeing it completed!

Don't forget this USCG bird as well:

[anthonyp]

Heh... how could I?  I just "happened" to pick up a 1/144 P-3C Orion today  

Gorgeous profiles, SC!  Got anymore for the USCG, CCG, Canadian SAR, etc?

[Blacklion213]

i like the overall orange scheme for the viking for some reason

I've, um, started early.  And considering I'm removing all of my entries from the eligibility for the prizes considering I'm gonna be the CG/SAR GB Premiere, I'll already have my prize in that I'm forcing my will on everyone else and making them build what I want in the time alloted!  

No pics yet, but I've got eight being built (been a bad week at work, need to build, been hitting the stash hard).

[Blacklion213]

when do we start im going to get my S-3 an V-22 next week from my moms house

[anthonyp]

September 1st is the kick-off for this build, though I'm tempted to push off the start date until just after the 1-weeker (so it'll start Sept 4th).

[Blacklion213]

first day of collage for me on the fourth, that will give me enought time to get down to GA, get the models and come back

Sounds better, allowing the 1 week build to be completed and then flow into the Coasties build.

I second that emotion!

Oh and I found some very large anchor decals in my stash. Since this is What-If I take it there's no problem in creating a fictional coast guard right?

I'm in!  and just in time some parts for my What-If CG arrived.  It will be a large floatplane.

Yes.....I'll have to dig out that CCG Tracker I've been dreaming of. And maybe a Twotter, a CL-215/415. a Beaver, an Otter.......well, you get the picture !
