This is a 1/48 Special Hobby kit of what the US calls a Shawnee
Helicopter. In Canada it was the H-21 or flying banana. Far from the easiest build I have ever done but it looks all right when finished.

About the only things added where the colourful Belcher Bits decals and
a little thread to represent the ropes hanging under the airframe. From what I have found out Belcher Bits also makes replacement rotors for
this helicopter. This might not be a bad idea as the kit ones are undersized and just don't look right.
I stuck with the kit ones as I am
trying to reduce some costs regarding this hobby.
This kit was built for the Arctic group build running on the ARC forums.
At the bottom is a couple photos with my RESCUE Lanc and Canso, and another with the H-21
replacement the CH-113.
