Mark Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Brilliant build and great photos too! What is about this morning? So many great models on here today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffreyK Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Absolutely great model, very well done. Makes me really look forward to the release of new the two new H-34 kits - I just don't like the look of that Wessex "snout"... One question: do the tyres come like that in the kit? They look flat and bulged which I think is just right for a Wessex/H-34. Cheers Jeffrey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graham121 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Mate, that is simply stunning and I hope to see it in the flesh on Sunday. And I also hope that Helo's have a separate category to themselves to give the rest of us a chance!!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heloman1 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Hi Andrew and everyone who has answered this post. Andrews made acracker of a job with his model but Italeri have made a jigsaw with the corner pieces missing!!!! There are too many items/things that need attention on the kit, I've been making a list but it seems to be getting longer by the day. I'm into my second set of conversion parts and sometimes I have to tear my hair out. It's not as if italeri didn't have any reference, the Italian navy used the H-34 so from the front of the cockpit aft it's the same ship. At least they didn't get the length wrong, well yes but only by 4mm. I'm going to stop there as I'll run away with it. As Andrew said the instruction sheet leaves a lot to be desired, hence his bloops with the dacal aft of the main rotorhead. Maybe I should sit and do a serios kit critique put the beast to rest as it were!!!! Colin on the Africa Station Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Wonderful job Andrew. Not much more to say that hasn't been already said. Looks like you've developed a particular style in finishing much like the Spanish school of modelling, aka my friends over at escala espanola. Very nice mate, very nice indeed.

Bozo Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Oh that's a really nice model you've made there! Nice crisp paintwork and really convincing interior detailing! Nice sharp panellines and how did you get that whitish glare in the green paint! Absolutely a must on my Falklands list of kits!! Congrats!!

Paul Alan Bardell Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Andrew What the others say x 10 - it's a great looking Wessex! I have one in the stash, and i am looking forward to the H-34. All the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look flat and bulged which I think is just right for a Wessex/H-34. Cheers Jeffrey The tyres are straight from the kit - no mods. Oh that's a really nice model you've made there! Nice crisp paintwork and really convincing interior detailing! Nice sharp panellines and how did you get that whitish glare in the green paint! Absolutely a must on my Falklands list of kits!! Congrats!! The olive drab was post shaded with faded olive drab which is quite grey. The effect is pretty subtle with the model in front of you. Glad you like it.

cjb2562 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 That is a superb build. I hope you don't mind me using this as inspiration for my intended build in December. I plan to make mine a RAF Northern Ireland version, they did a few taxi runs for me on my tours over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
