Huey Falklands british Capture 1/48 Kittiy Hawk

[Guest]

Very nice kit indeed.

The Huey captured at the end of the Falklands Conflict & used in the Islands.
Now a museum piece in the UK some where.

The Argentinian markings were emulsion painted out in the Falklands. Bit of artistic
license I have left the marking ghosting thro. to give a bit of history.

Also. Huey was re-liveried with the Huey bit on the return to the UK She was AE412
UK owned in the Falklands. Just cheated a bit. I am not embarrassed :flushed:

Thank you for the bonus pictures Laurie, great work on the conversions.

I used to own a Series 3 as a lad, my second vehicle after a mini, it was quite a change!

Great work Laurie. And a bonus bit of history as well. Much has been written about the Falklands war (or conflict if you're a politician) but not so much about afterwards.
