A green Sea Stallion?  :icon_surprised:
Just picked.

It's got a bit of grey on it! ;)

When? Oh, when will anybody bring out a styrene 1/35 Sea Stallion? :icon_crap:

Quickest way for that to happen is for you to start building one from scratch  ;)

There was an attempt many years ago by someone that was taking preorders/deposits then it turned in to a nothing-burger and that was the end of it.  There was a lot of hype when it started but it waned quickly when no results were forthcoming.  Can not remember the name of the company but it was the subject of much discussion and fantasizing at Armorama before it disappeared.

Yeah! :D ... Nah! ::)

It would take me most of my lifetime (including the rather big bit behind me), stretch my skills sets well beyond their breaking point, chew up most of the modelling time I have & send me (more) insane!

But where did they find it? All its stablemates have turned grey with age.  ;D

Seriously, though. Weren't all-green Sea Stallions a pre-Desert Storm thing?

Found this picture interesting, anyone want to guess why?

P.S. Sorry regards to terrible quality of pic

MAD

Ok, no takers......

I Found this picture interesting because it shows the prototype YUH-60 prototype evaluating it's ability to meet one of the RfP specifics - the ability to fit and be deployed in the C-130 and C-141.....
Unfortunately, this component of the RfP was relinquished by the US Army due to vibration issues with the Sikorsky design, which required Sikorsky to redesign/re engineer the main rotor system, which as a consequence negated the designs ability to fit inside the C-130 and C-141....

Looks to me more like engine parts have been propelled through the wing & fuselage as the inboard engine failed ... catastrophically.
