Bell 212 VH-NSY NSCA 1-35 DecalsThe Chopper
Back in the 1980s Australia boasted a world class Sea Air Rescue and safety organisation in the National Safety Council of Australia. With a large fleet of fixed and rotary wing aircraft, boats, trucks and even a ship, the NSCA was very prominently in the public eye. VH-NSY was one of the fleet of big Bell Twin Hueys they used. The Decals
These decals are designed for the Panda kit, which may well now be a Dragon kit. The kit itself is quite well detailed and builds into a reasonable representation of a 212 / UH-1N straight out of the box. However, to accurately portray VH-NSY, you may choose to make a few additions and amendments. These changes include: • Adding boxes under the nose and tail boom • Removing the tail cone and adding the substructure • Altering the cabin windows and adding a strake to the doors • Adding boxes, wooden floor panelling and a winch to the interior • Moving the tail rotor to the port side • Adding flotation gear (optional) These are the main visual changes. I have seen pics of this bird with and without the floatation gear, so you have some choice there. I will put a build article covering some of these modifications I made to build VH-NSA in the modelling section of the site. There are, of course, any number of other improvements you can make to the model. Shopping CartWell, not quite! Drop me a line if you’d like a set of these decals and I’ll organise getting a set out to you.Go to Decals page from VH-NSY Decals Page Go to Grubby Fingers Home from VH-NSY Decals Page
