Atlantis (Aurora) HUP-1 Helo

[Ron Bell]

This is the Atlantis re-issue of the 1954 Aurora kit of the Piasecki HUP-1 helicopter, known in the US as the "Retriever". I did it almost all OOTB but added clear styrene in the styrene windows as they provide none, I added the exhaust on the port side and I used Caracal decals for a Canadian HUP-2 because I liked that scheme, but I'm not gonna lose any sleep over the slight differences in types. Building these old kits is downright fun.

Looks like a fun simple build where you can knock it out quick, then enjoy the finishing process. Nicely done! 👍🏼👍🏼
