stevehnz Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I've just bought some Daco decals for one of these, I would like to do the later version with the big radar dome, the only Sea King kit I have is an older Airfix one with a yellow rescue scheme in the markings ( I think, I've not looked at it for yonks). What should I be looking at to do one of the Belgian ones, kit/after market, in 1/72? Push comes to shove I would do the earlier version with the thimble like dome on the spine, the decals have both versions & the schemes are much the same but I do like the chunkier look of the later ones.

boffin Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 (edited) I agree Revelll is probably the best way to go. Sponsons are a bit undersized though - Whirlybird do some replacements for £3.00 George Edited December 7, 2017 by boffin speeling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share Posted December 10, 2017 Looks like a Revellit is what I should be looking out for then. Andy, I've already book marked your build against the day. I think tracking down a reasonably priced revell Sea King might be the hardest part in the short term, best I get on with it. Steve/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also not sure what blades the Belgiums have fitted I presume they have composite rather than metal blades but you never know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted December 11, 2017 Author Share Posted December 11, 2017 Other than the old Airfix Seaking I mentioned above, I get a bit confused on Airfix examples. AFAIK, there is a new tool one in a Commando kit but without the side floats/sponsors. Trying to look them up on Scalemates just confuses the hell out of me. Steve.

Vingtor Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 The starter set is the new tool model: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/968669-airfix-a55307-westland-sea-king-har-3 The other Airfix Sea King kits, except from the Commando, seems to be old tool.

Dads203 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 This is the new tool Airfix kit https://www.airfix.com/uk-en/westland-sea-king-har-3-1-72.html i personally think it’s better than the Revell kit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 Thanks guys, I can find the Airfix HAR.3 starter set somewhat easier than the Revell kit. Afaics, neither it nor the Commando kit have the big Sea Searcher dome, so I guess I'll have to fabricate one or see if anyone has one left over after modelling an earlier version, other than that, it looks promising. I'll wait till I have the kit before asking about detail differences if needs be. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
