Well, maybe I did enjoy building that Hasegawa Cobra I a little more than I'd like to admit.
I think I'll give this kit a 'Whirl' after finding it a my LHS resale store. It's the Boeing Vertol CH-113 Labrador by HobbyCraft in 1/72 scale - Kit # HC2301. Something about the bright YELLOW that made me attracted.
I was a bit hesitant at first but when I found the Belcher Bits BD11 Decal set I ordered then right away and now the hesitation is gone. I thought the 1982 Yellow scheme was a sure bet but maybe I'll consider the '77/'80 Red White & Blue scheme instead. The HC decals look okay and give a Canadian option and an American option but I'm gonna go with the Belcher Decals.
Also got a few extra bonus option with the Belcher decals if I chose to do any more Canadian copters, always good to be prepared. Bonus decals were for a CH-149 Cormorant (AW101) and a Bell CH-146 Griffon (Bell 412EP).
This decal set looks very nice and I expect them to be up to the great quality I've found other Belcher decals to be.
I also ordered Belcher set BD21:H-21 (you never know...maybe a Canadian H-21?) and set BD-10: CF-101 Voodoo and BD38: RCN TBM all in 1/72 as the deal was to good to turn down as a group shipment directly from the Belcher Website.
