Hi all. I was wondering if there was a 1/35 scale of a UH-34 available? I see that Gino is building a 1/32 and there are a few 1/48 scale versions. I took these pictures at last year's Scottish IPMS show but I think it was the one that Gino is building.

That looks like the 1/32 Fly Models Wessex (Brit H-34). There is no 1/35 kit of one. I haven't started mine yet. I'm still collecting parts to convert it from the Wessex to a UH-34D.

It looks like I will have to settle for a 1/48 scale version and try and find some South Vietnamese decals to make it look like the KingBee 219 Squadron of the VNAF.

Hopefully there are decals for me to do this with.

Hi,

I would love one of these in 1/35. Also want a Sea King.

I plan to get a Fly Wessex and build a civilian version, probably Bristol Airways.

Regards Jason
