More of my rescue helicopters


USAF H-19A with floats, it is the 1/72 Italeri kit. The Air Force used the H-19 for a rescue helicopter during the Korean War until the late 1950s.

US Navy HUP-1, this is the 1/72 AModel kit. The HUP-1 ordered as a helicopter the Navy could operate off of its smaller ships. It was widely used to rescue pilots that had to ditch in the sea and was used to recover some of the astronauts during the early Mercury missions.
