Irish Air Corps / SA319 and SA 316B Alouettes

Merry Christmas guys:
GonetotheCanner:
Yes they did, but those kits are rarer than hens teeth but I did manage to get my hands on their SA 319 Alouette III which I plan to convert, if possible, to a 316B as flown by the Air Corps.

Which is why I am looking for guidance...the kits are so rare the job needs to be done right and accurate from the get-go as there will be no second chances. If the two versions are similar enough externally airframe wise, then my major concerns would be the cockpit and the engine.
But I need to know where to start first. This site seemed to be the best place to ask the question  '<img'>

So, thanks again, I do appreciate the help and if anyone can offer further assistance, please do.

Liam

Yes fine, but suggest more use of the spell/grammar tool.

Merry Christmas Tony.
I will, of course, take your suggestion under advisement. The lightheartedness of my post seems to have been misinterpreted.


However, my spelling and grammer faux pas' aside, both the intended and unintended, I would direct all who would consider a reply to this topic to only do so if they can add to the information I was seeking on the two models of Alouettes that I was asking about.
Pity there isn't a book out there that dealt with such things...would make life so much easier.

And again..thank you to those who actually contributed to this and provided information. Merry Christmas y'all. '<img'>

To err is human...to forgive is divine.

Soooo, would it be fair to say that the major differences where internal, rather than external?

I have finally got a kit in 1/48 of an Alouette III that I want ot build in Aer Corps markings. It's a SA 319 Alouette III. I just wanted to get an idea if a conversion could be done and if so, how difficult it might be.

Thanks for the information

Liam

Some old avaition prints for sale. Most done in 1990's by Stuart Black, Blair Athol Studios. They are all signed and numbered by the artist..not me! I have not originated these items. 'pilot_grin'

There is a slight discolouration around the edges of some of these, probably due to storage, but a decent mount and frame will compensate for this.
There is only ONE of each print, sorry, but all I have left.
All printed on white card. Asking price is 15.00 euro each, excluding postage.






















I also have some plastic model kits to sell  (ex-shop stock) and some armour kits too.
contact me at yeehahireland@yahoo.co.uk if interested.
Thanks for looking

What is the color of the recently purchased Aer Corps helicopters, please? I would prefer the Federal Standard number, but to be honest, whatever is suitable would help.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Irish Air Corps / What types have the AirCorps tested / evaluated?

Here's a topic that has me interested:
Around the time the Air Corps were getting ready to retire the Vampires, what types other than the Fougas were they looking?
Or did they bother to look at anything else? And while operating the Fougas, did they ever take a look at anything else with an eye to the future?

Tailwheelers are traditionally measured from their highest point(be it tail fin or prop tip) in the normal, taildown position.

He's a font of knowledge but you can't expect him to know the wingspan of every aircraft the Air Corps ever operated!

Thanks for that. But I do John!!!

As I thought. 'applause'

And please understand, I am in no way upset by this, but I did expect it and I am terribly disappointed.
I believe, and have always believed, that knowledge is to shared. It's how we avoid the many mistakes and errors that often crop up when trying to research matters like this.

You see, Tony, in his infinite wisdom, has decided some time ago not to extend his wealth of knowledge in my direction due to a sense of humour failure on his part a few years ago.

Despite numerous attempts on my part to rectify the matter, he still chooses to ignore my requests for help.
You'll note his response was directed at an earlier poster and there was just enough information to inform him he was in error while there being none present to actually answer the question.

But it's all good...there are other sources for this information and that is the route I have taken. I had thought this was the best place to suss this kind of thing but I was wrong.

To those who tried to help, thank you. You are gentlemen one and all.

Liam
