Huey 1/48 Kitty Hawk captured by UK in the Falklands Conflict

[Guest]

Taken over from the Argentinians & used by the British in the Falklands at the end of the conflict.
Part of a diorama of as many kits as I can get of aircraft & vehicles used on both sides.

Hi Laurie
Never heard of Kitty Hawk Models. The kit looks very nice and the PE will be worth the effort. Nice plan and a fine start.

Thanks for your interest & comments Scottie, Eddie. Jon & bob. Much appreciated.

Bob. Try one they are great fun. There is a lot more detail than a winged aircraft. A lot
more to think of when building it is more intricate.

Plus the workk you put into the interior is not lost. I always keep open the cargo door
to show the interior.

Links Airfix 1/48 is very nice to build. PJ Productions produce a trio of 2 pilots &
a cargo man. The cargo man sits on the edge of the cargo floor looking out.
Nice detail as there are a couple of machine guns mounted in the cargo hold.

Have a go. I just love helicopteres.

Thanks Jim for looking in appreciated.

First Kitty Hawk that I have come across. In some quarters they seem to have been criticized.
But seems very good to me. I think a kit quality depends a lot on when they were designed
& manufactured.

Airfix early kits were a bit crude but the Helmand series is superb. Kitty seems OK.
