I finished this on Saturday having taken me 4 months. It’s a commission build for somebody leaving and it’s been made from the Italeri 1/48 212 kit. I work at MIddle Wallop so have popped into Hangar 3 when I needed to for reference. The colours are the Hataka range and are a very good match. The orange is the old orange as they changed spray painters and the current is very err orange, but this is what the guys wanted. It got delivered yesterday so I thought I’d get a couple of shots. The worst part of the kit is the front windscreen absolutely shocking fit. After all the effort I thought this would detract from the finished article, but perseverance paid off. Now back to my 1/32 Tornado.

I'm happy to see this group build actually taking off! So here's my contribution... Surprise its also a subject I have wanted to do for a very long time... One of Air Greenlands choppers, a Bell 212 Twin Huey. Why is it special to me? I Haven't been to Greenland - yet but many years ago I actually flew a couple of times with this chopper when it was still used by Maersk to ferry crews to oil rigs in the North Sea... This is what it looked like at that time... This is the kit I will be using... I have no idea as of what is needed to convert it into a civilian helicopter. I haven't done any research into it. So if you have any knowledge, you are welcome to share it with me... To me, Greenland is a very special place with a spectacular nature and since it used to be part of the Kingdom, we are sharing a lot of history with it here in Denmark... Ready to take a trip to the Greenland ice cap...
