! / 72 Italeri H-19B " Chickasaw "

The Chickasaw was my first attempt at building a Helo. Of nearly fifty completed models in my collection the Chick is the only Helicopter. I got the bug one day while watching the movie " Strategic Air Command ". I noticed the H-19 that was sent out to rescue the two crewmen of the B-36 that went down. That was it. Had to do one. The kit is a fairly easy build. Has great clear parts that fit perfectly. Interior is a little tricky during the building process. All around great parts fit. Careful with the rotorhead assembly. The BM finish is a combination of Floquil Old Silver, Platinum Mist and MM Bare Metals. Just ignore the FW-190 nameplate on the base in one of the photos. She's a long way from an FW-190.
