Hi all,
This is my final reveal for the Italeri 1/72 Wessex UH 5 Helicopter. This kit came in a 2 in 1 with a 1/72 Harrier as part of the Italeri Falklands War Anniversary set. This was built in January last year.
Build Summary
I had a lot of fun with this one. It has been painted using Humbrol and Tamiya Enamels. Weathering is done in the form of preshading with highlighting the panel lines with a Copic Marker and minor dirt marks using Tamiya Panel Line Accent. I did scribe in a few panel lines and details as well. No scratch building was done. Some silvering occured on on one of the decals with the Helicopter number as can be seen in the photos, but apart from that I did not have any major issues. The exhausts are of a different colour as well, this is just personal choice. As always accuracy is never my concern, the build and paint job however are. The canopy is also not my best job, but hey live and learn.
