Gustavo Bunger Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Hi Mireson, lovely work for a ugly machine. I hope that Italeri releases a new mould for the HAS 3 "Humprey" too, soon. What you say about the quality of mould ? The parts fits well ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lar74 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Great model, Best thing about the Wessex was after a cold long patrol you would always get a blast of hot air from the engines as you were getting on. bliss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
