Paul J Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Finished this after a lengthy rebuild using and cannibalising its from a spare kit. Don't ask what happened but basically not much of the original build was left. Anyhow this is how it looks and recently taken images. Just while I am in a semi modelling mood. Revell kit, Modeldecal decals a very few decals from said Revell kit. There are some anomalies and inaccuracies such as main rotor colours and its stripes( easily corrected though) but I wanted to do an early Sea King HAS.1 in the original dark blue grey. For the main colour I used Xtracrylix Gloss Sea Blue mixed with some ocean grey airbrushed. So here is XV684/588/CU 35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders154 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 This is the aircraft I intend to build but as an AEW aircraft that I refer being converted in the xp hanger at westlands around the time of the Falklands. Excellent build you done good Rodders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatbox8 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 How weird. Been looking up references to Sea Kings this evening to see what is required to build an early AS version from available kits. Quite a lot, it turns out. This, however, looks terrific. Such an attractive scheme compared to today's grey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul J Posted January 19, 2017 Author Share Posted January 19, 2017 Thanks for the rotor pointer Andy. I will probably repaint them and remove those tabs(was unaware of those being a later fit)But I will draw the line there. It was a battle to rebuild it to the finish stage a few months back as it is. Glad its pleased members here regarding the early scheme. I feel all the UK air arms need to be represented in the heyday eras. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head in the clouds. Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I am building an early Sea King now so nice to see your model, it is good to see an earlier rendition of this fine helicopter. I have to say however that I could not find any early Sea King decals anywhere so have had to use a mix from various sources Gary.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
