Popular Post HL-10 Posted September 17, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted September 17, 2017 I have been building Fly's 1/32nd scale Wessex HC2, here's the link to the wip: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235026000-westland-wessex-hc2-fly-132nd/&page=6 The Wessex is a helicopter I have always been a big fan of, having seen many service variants close up and had them overhead more times than I can remember. I am not, by any means an expert on the machine, but I just love the look of the Wessex. The kit is no shake and bake kit, but it is a canvas onto which a modeller can add as much detail as they wish. As the kit provided schemes were not that inspiring, I wandered away to produce a model in the colours I like seeing one in. I know there may be details present on my model not necessarily true to the period of the scheme, but I am not too worried about it. It is a large Wessex and I had great fun building it! A big thank you to all the members who chipped in with advice regarding the helicopter, and kept me supplied with great photos of the real thing.. And safely stowed alongside a colleague! Thanks for looking Angelo 76 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Heath Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Exceptional build of a great looking chopper. I'm very impressed with the panel shading and hot metal effect on the exhausts. Lovely job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Heath Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Looking back at the WIP (which is excellent) it's remarkable how quickly you put such a top notch model together. Less than three weeks - Hendie was mucking about with his for months. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Taking photos of an actual Wessex and passing them of as your own work is not the done thing! Awesome modelling! Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
