  1. Hi Charlie, depends on which airframe you are making. Most MK5's carried the mounting pylons during their life. I'm currently making a Falklands MK5 & will scratch build ones for mine. There are good photo's in the walk round section of the pylons, wiring is external & again can be scratch built. Dave
  2. Looking for photo's of MK5 Seakings during the Falklands conflict. Just wondering if any ex FAA 'pingers' had any? I know they were newish helicopters then & that some a/c had their cabins emptied for cargo duties. Looking for a subject to model when new Airfix kit is available!!
  3. Looking good Mike, only comment is the pilots seats. the seat part should be a creamy colour, as seats normally had a sheepskin type cover, back part was usually orange! Cant wait to get one myself soon! Dave
  4. Anyine built one yet? If so, does it need nose weight? Dave
  5. with the new 1/72nd Zeveda C-130H Hercules coming out, maybe some RAF schemes of the past? Especially the 25th anniversary scheme from the 90's!
  6. I obtained a copy couple of weeks ago, great book so much information. Where they got it from amazes me! I sat in a SU-27 at Leuchars in '92 & the exact one is listed in the book. Managed to get a good priced copy via Amazon. Think a model will be done sometime soon now!! Dave
  7. EH101 (later AW101!!) looking good! I made PP5 few years ago when a kit first became available along with all the other pre-production '101's. They all on show at the AW factory now. Anyway, i'll be watching your build with interest. Dave
  8. thanks Mike, nothing there unfortunately!
  9. Looking for photos of the Victor, XL190, which had the 'teeth' added. Hope someone knows of any photo's? Dave
  10. opps, please delete!!
  11. Looking for photos of the Victor which had the 'teeth' markings applied, any one help? Dave
  12. Thanks everyone, it's for a 1/72nd kit I'm making! Dave
  13. thanks, didn't think to look there! you think same fit on RAF MK3's?
  14. Anyone know of or have close up pics of the under slung cables/hook fitted to seakings? In particular the release cable that goes into the fuselage(?) Dave
