This is the Italeri as you can see. I think I will be doing the HC2 RAF version even though it's labelled as an HU5.
End box for those that are interested.
Looks like you'll be entering the world of wrap-around camo. Good luck!!
Hi Chris,
I have the Italeri 1/48 HU.5 to build.
Look forward to your hints and tips in building the baby brother.
Cheers,
Bigkev

I think you'll find it easier Kevin. I made some other Wessex from Italeri and they usually go together nicely.
Looks a nice kit. Looking forward to the build.

Cabin and cockpit assembled and painted. Nose assembly ready to be mounted once the fuselage halves are together.
Most of the fuselage done. A little filling required.
The Italeri company seem to have sorted their chopper kits, I always liked them.

Forgot the photo!
Hi Chris,
Nice work, looks everything like a preying Mantis about to do its stuff.

Do you mean Kevin -- "eat its partner after *** " not sure it gives me that look - hohohoho
But another great model in the making well done Chris

Hmmm...
Looks to be coming on well
Another shade of grey on top. Green camouflage to go over this. Undersides are black (you might just be able to see this).
Hi Chris,
Looks good and nice paint job.
Look forward to seeing it progress.
Cheers,
Bigkev
Main camouflage done. Just detail painting and decals to do.
Looks great, did you use masking fluid for the curves?

No a masking putty.
That's coming along nicely, always preferred the grey and green camouflage.

Finished as an HU5c used in cyprus in the late 1980's by No 84 squadron.
Overall a nice kit that went together well.
Looks great
Nice looking model.
Great looking model that looks like it means business!!
Thanks.
Fantastic looking helicopter.
