Introduction
The
nuri as it is known is the backbone of helicopter operations in Malayisa. It has
been utilized and seen action as well as being the workhorse of the RMAF. It has
been in service for over 20 years now and still flying today. Our “Nuries”
was also featured in the movie BAT 21 by Glover and Hackman. A powerhouse of the
rotary wing of RMAF who service has seen a long and coloruful history.

Kit
The
kit is the Hasegawa offering with Belcher Bits upgrade namely the sponsons.
The
kit was done with full interior as part of our local effort Helo G/B. I made
many mistakes on this one and it nearly did not see the light of day. The
interior was challenging as there was some guess work involved. Overall not too
happy with the build but its done. Colours were custom mix and the decals were
custom printed as with that from the Hobbycraft tutor kit.
The
Nuri deserves a special place in Malaysian history hence its appearance here.
Happy
MERDEKA !
