    I will be happy to build this one. It looks to be a very simple kit and so I will build it that way. Let's hope all the pieces fit together. Sprue... Profile from the Synart decal set... Should look good next the Belgian Hunter... --John

    This is Sweet's simple but rather nice 1/144 Sea King, in kit-supplied markings for a Belgian AF Westland Mk. 48 of 40th Squadron Heli, working SAR operations out of Koksijde Air Base on the southern Channel coast. The 'hat box' search radar dome and 6-blade tail rotor are options included in the Sweet kits; my own additions to the basic kit include the tail-boom strake, scratch-built rescue hoist, nose-mounted FLIR and assorted sensors, aerials and antennae. I also swapped out the kit's overly-thick (and strangely-segmented) main rotor blades - which were the wrong style, anyway - for scratch-built versions of the later-design composite blades used on these Westland-produced models. For those who may be interested in the WIP build log, the link is here. Last but not least, a 'group shot' of my own tiny Sweet eggbeater squadron, featuring, in addition to the Belgian beauty above, (L) my recently-posted 'Bob and Doug McKenzie' Ch-124; and (C) S-61L conversion, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Dept. I love tiny Sea Kings!

    Working on thinning out my stash of Sweet 1/144 Sea Kings. Next up will be a Belgian Mk. 48, as depicted in the kit instructions: More recent online photos of the same aircraft, #RS01 (serial WA 831, now residing in retirement in the Royal Museum of Military History in Brussels), show that it later acquired the larger 'hat box' search radar dome; this is offered as an option in certain of the Sweet releases of the kit, and I had one left over in the spares box, so on it went. The kit also includes options for the six-blade tail rotor as used by most European Sea Kings, and the 'clean' sponsons (without the original sonobuoy pallet and MAD boom used by the early USN models). The kit's pre-molded rescue hoist is a solid vinyl blob, so I cut it off to replace it with something a little more refined. All the 'greebles' which distinguish different models of Sea Kings - aerials and sensor fits, as well as details like pitots and mooring cables - will need to be added with bits of wire and styrene rod & strip. Not completely finished, but here she is nearing the painting stage: More as things develop. Thanks for looking in.
