Vertol H 21B, CR Sqn RCAF 1956.
1/72 Revell, with some modifications, not all visible, nose gear and decals from the Hobbycraft kit, finished in Humbrol, Revell and MM enamels and I think Future overall, flown by Communications and Rescue Sqn RCAF from 1954.

Really came out well Allan. Colorful markings, nice paint work.
Thanks Jack.
Nice build, Allan...puts me in mind of the Paisecki (sp) "Flying Banana"...(wonder who copied who?). 🙂
Piasecki was the parent company (Frank Piasecki). At some point it was renamed Vertol and then sold to Boeing. Far as I know anyway.
Thanks Craig, Thanks Phil, Piasecki was formed in 1946, became Vertol in 1956 and a division of Boeing in 1960. in response to these dates I am changing the title.!
Looks good Allan. Did one of these myself a while back using the Italeri kit with Leading Edge decals.
Thanks Phil, have you posted yours ? in helicopters !
No I didn't. Due to inaccuracies and missing details for the Canadian version (I'm a real stickler in that regard) I never photographed it, and it's a days journey back in the display case now. Some day maybe. You can get good detail photos of it now.
Allan, really good build, great choice of scheme. You'd see this one coming a long way off.
Thanks Bernard, yes very bright.
Nice build! Such an oddly designed aircraft...!
Thanks Greg.
Nice
Thanks P.k.
A real beauty sir.
Thanks Robert.
A truly excellent result Allan! Red is such a difficult colour to put on a model - and it's gloss too!
Thanks Nick.
Like mentioned above: "Oddly designed"
But build to perfection.
Thanks Dirk.
Your post popped up under 'Explore Other Articles' at the bottom of the page and I'm glad it did!
Looks amazing!
I just got the Italeri kit, and I have the HCraft kit also - when I start, I'll know what to use as a reference.
Thanks Allan (@kalamazoo)
Thanks George, will keep a look out for it !
It's only taken me 9 years, just added the winch, see pic's !
