Hi. This little airliner was an inbetween project last autumn to gain some motivation for the next longer project. The Revell kit were shortened and the parts for the self defense system were scratch built using some spare parts and sprues. Decals came from an AirDecal set. The rest was a relaxing out of the box build. Cheers Daniel

Westland Wessex HCC Mk.4, XV733. The Wessex HCC Mk.4 was identical to the HC Mk.2, but with special furnishings and equipment, operated by the RAF. A total of 2 aircraft were built, and operated by the Queens Flight based at RAF Benson from April 1969. The helicopter, XV733, was used by all the senior members of the Royal Family, including the Queen and Princess Diana, and served with the Royal Flight until 1998 since when the Wessex was in storage at RAF Shawbury in Shropshire. In November 2001 the aircraft was officially put up for sale and purchased by the museum, with the assistance of a fast track grant-aid from The National Heritage Lottery Fund. The grant was the first time the Fund had ever been used to purchase a helicopter.Information from The Helicopter Museum Pics thanks to Mike Costello. -
