One more helo sheet and again it is a Canadian subject. This one is the CH-124 Sea King, a type that will eventually be replaced by the EH-101. The recommended kit in 1/72 is either the Fujimi SH-3 or the Revell AG Sea King. Both with need modified to bring it up to Canadian standards and in that light the sheet recommends the Belcher Bits Gulf War update set and/or Flightpath detail set. This sheet is also available in 1/48 scale

The helo itself is overall FS 36173 grey with all the special markings and stencils provided as decals. The sheet itself is superbly printed and looks to be quite thin. The instruction sheet provides full decal and stencil placement information as well as color infor in FS 595, Humbrol, Xtracolor/Xtracrylix, Lifecolor and ModelMaster references.

Overall a really great sheet that should make into an eye-catching model.  Yeah, the cover has a typo.
