Wasp Helicopter in 1/72 scale : Airfix kit modelling report |
|
The Dutch MLD operated the Westland Wasp AH-12A in the seventies and eighties on board of frigates and other ships. 860 squadron flew with the type 1967-1981. Airfix issued in 1966 a 1/72 small series 1 kit of the land version, the Scout from which the Wasp was derived. (later the kit appeared in various packages). After all these years it still is the only 1/72 Scout kit!
The kit was made way back in the
eighties,
so over 40 years ago! The decals were from one of the first Dutch IPMS roundels sheet and the
KON.MARINE titles had to be hand painted. Nowadays, "Dutch Decal" has these
as decals
on a separate set.
