Hej everyone.
found fujimi's alouette III kit in my stash, would like to do a Rhodesian K-car, for those of you that aren't in the know.

My question is what kind of cannon is she carrying?

20mm cannon. G-cars, carried x2 .30 cal. All were mounted out of the left side of the Choppers, with the co-pilots seat removed to carry more troopies for Fire-Force operations. Sorry about the late reply, but don't get over here very often. Hope this helps, and would love to see the build. I build alot of Rhodesian, and South African subjects. If I can help with any more information, please don't hesitate to ask. If I can, that is.
Cheers,
Ray

You're a lucky man. The Alouette is a hard kit to find. It's been out of production for years.
I don't know if this helps or not, but if you're looking for Rhodesian decals, Aviation Megastore sells some made by a company called MAV Decals. Just type "Rhodesian" into the search engine on their website. Good luck with the Rhodesian Alouette!

Yes I do, but will have to scan them. Give me a couple of days, and I will get them to you.
