This is my second
submission to ARC. The models are the Academy KV-107 kits, suitably modified and
marked to represent a pair of aircraft from 14 Wing, Greenwood, Nova Scotia. The
first pic was taken on the flightline, and when I submitted it to the base paper
it fooled some people! I built these in 2005 for a pair of good friends, then
borrowed them back for the picture. 11304 is the chopper that was rebuilt after
an engine failure during a hoist training mission caused it to go down in the
bush. It was towed over 15 km by road back to base.

The second picture shows
some of the extras I put into them, such as scratchbuilt parts cans, etc.
I modified the tail for the APU, before the aftermarket resin piece was
available (just my luck). The markings were a challenge as well, as I
couldn't wait for the Belcher bits set. I used Mike Belcher's Voodoo
decals to good effect, as well as some generic lightning bolts and other
doodads.
Thanks to Mary
Michilko for the tarmac shot
