Another rescue helicopter currently on the clock with the RCAF. This time a Italeri Twin Huey modified with Belcher Bits resin and Canmilair decals. The helicopter also received special Tiger markings for the 438 squadron special a couple years back.

The resin is straight forward with minimal sanding. The paint job involved one heck of a lot of masking and hand painted tiger stripes.

Added a couple other photos, a 424 (also a Tiger squadron) Iroquios. A 439 squadron Hornet from back in the day and my recent Cormorant from 442 rescue squadron. Then a standard Griffon  and some group shots.
