Here is a Sikorski SH-60B in low-viz markings. I can see why they are called Low-vis. Seems pretty drab after all that work. Kit is an older Hasegawa from my stash.

Want to do this one for the Modern Carrier GB. HS-4 ASW squadron. I was assigned this sqdn in the early 60's. SH-34j's were the current Helo, made the transition to the SH-3A. HS-4 did the capsule recovery operations with the SH-3D, after my discharge.
 
Cherry-read I think... it is looking like the one of the 911 IAP. I think its a replic of the La-11 used during the so-called Northern Expedition. In 1948 the decision was made to establish an air force base near the North Pole. This was the only place to base Tu-4 Bulls so they could reach their targets deep in USA territory. Lavochkin fighters were intended to provide an air defense as well as to prevent American aircraft activity in this region. The support was provided by Li-2s of the 650th Transport Regiment, C-47s of the 1st Transport Regiment, and llyushin ll-12s of the 708th Transport Regiment. A Tupolev Tu-6 (the reconnaissance version of the Tu-2) would be employed as a pathfinder/leader aircraft. On 7 May 1948 one Tu-6 and three La-11s landed at the ice airstrip near the North Pole and the next day they flew several training missions from the unusual base. Several such expeditions were carried out by the fighters of the 1st Fighter Division and 53rd Fighter Regiment.







Well done Ed.

Yes, that's the bird. The kit only showed a color view of the plane , so I tried to mix the paint to match. Dark red and brown till it matched. I probably could have used Tuscan red from my train colors. Thank you for your comments.

Here is another Cutlass for my collection. F7U-3M missile test aircraft for the Sparrow system. Kit is from Fujimi to 1/72 scale.
