1/72 Italeri EH101 'Portugese'

by Dave 'Merlin' Burrow

--------------------

 

Using the Cormorant version of the EH101 (as it has the correct amount of windows already), built straight from box apart from using undercarriage legs (double wheels on these!) and sponsons from Revell's RAF Merlin kit. Scratch built under fuselage radar housing and added dome window.

This particular version of the EH101 is a test aircraft, so is yet to receive extra's such as a winch or self defence aids. Overall construction is straight forward, no real difficulties.  Some filler was required around side panels (see pics).

For the painting, I used Humbrol's, green's (105 and 116), Tan (118) and light grey (166) all hand painted! Decals came from spares box.

Any comments on this model or about EH101's in general, feel free to contact me.
