Swedish HKP 4 Helicopter in Splinter Camouflage

Post by Fredrik64 »

Academy 1/48 KV-107 Vertol Helicopter
Build as the Swedish Navy helikopter HKP 4 in splinter camo.

This type of helicopter used to fly over where i live when i grow up so i just had to build one
However that one did not have a splinter camo it was just an olive drab color .

It`s hard to see the weathering in the Pictures ( bad mobile camera )
but they are there mostly as rain marks done with AK Interaktive Products
I`l upload better Pictures when i get a new camera

The rear view mirrors are scratch build

The "Marinen" decals is from Belcher bits in Canada http://www.belcherbits.com/lines/decals/bd20.htm#

It`s still missing a few decals i haven`t got my hands on yet i`update when i get them

Painted with Vallejo model air colors

Thanks for looking :cheers2:

Seen them up close at Säve, theyre pretty impressive beasts. Being 1/48, that must swallow alot of space on the shelf! Nice work, the camo looks fantastic!

It does take up a bit of space but displaying it in air it can "hover" above other models so that save some room :lol:
