Alouette III helicopter in 1/72 scale: 
kit review and modelling report of the Heller kit
MORE ALOUETTE III
MODELS HERE...

The Royal Netherlands Air force (KLu) operated the French Sud Aviation (later Aerospatiale) Alouette III helicopter in the light helicopter role (liaison, transport, recon.) for years. 


Heller of France issued a kit years ago in 1/72 scale. It was released in several boxes and decals over the years.

Here the content is shown, the plastic is very bright "annoying" blue...

The model shown here is a SAR version as operated at Leeuwarden AB in The Netherlands by the Royal Netherlands AF (KLu).

The model is quite small and good in fact, I detailed it further with bits such as the engine, interior etc. The door was set open and the flotation gear scratch build. 

Day glow finish was applied with a spray can over white undercoat with the overall olive  drab/ RAL 6014 green.

The markings were made by combining some spare decals and the roundels came from an old Dutch IPMS.NL roundels set.
