  1. Hello Tzigkounakis,
    Quite a surprise to see this model in 1/48 scale. To my knowledge not available in the European stores. I have seen "future release" but then it stops.
    The model looks fantastic. The bell is a beautiful helicopter.
    If you can spare us some more information, box number, self made parts. Etc.etc.
    Regards,
    Dirk

  2. Being a retired USN rotorhead, (HH-60H) always fascinated with other nations variants of their helo community. This is one nice Hellenic Navy ASW version. Taking the base kit and creating this variant is quite an endeavour as Dirk mentioned there is no existing kit or update set in any form, something that would've been nice from the "Snake" of Cobra Company that really filled in a lot of holes with updates for many of the Helo kits on the market. Sad he closed up. Outstanding model, and really nice to see this version of UH-1N/AB212. I have the kit as well in the stash. Haven't built a helo in awhile. This is one great motivator to break one out. Thanks for sharing a very nice Huey.

  3. That's a lot of great scratchbuilding! What a superb result.

  5. Φίλε Τάσο,
    This is such an amazing job, regarding the base Italeri kit and especially all thos scratchbuilt parts! This is a version very rarely seen built, let alone that it is built in excellency.
    Congratulations!

    A pure joy to look at Tzigkounakis !
    Nicely made and added details and very good painting.
    The subtle work on the weathering is well done and applied.
