AntPhillips Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 wow, now that is box art It's not bad, personally I think it would have been nice to see it from the other side disembarking a bunch of squaddies, but that's just my personal opinion.

Giorgio N Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Not sure I really like the box art, in any case the content is something I'm really looking forward to ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moaning dolphin Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) Box art would have been better if the chockhead didn't have his fat swede in the way! Edit: Just noticed the personnel door looks in the incorrect proportions Edited August 27, 2015 by moaning dolphin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homebee Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Source: http://www.airfix.com/uk-en/news/workbench/5889/ 28/08/2015 Not previously featured on Workbench, but announced earlier in the year as part of the current Airfix catalogue, the new 1/72nd scale Westland Sea King HC.4 ‘Commando’ is also a step nearer to release this week. The HC.4 Commando is one of the most extensively modified versions of the much-loved Sea King and anyone who has experienced the show finale at a Yeovilton Air Day will know just how imposing these large helicopters actually are. This is a totally new model, which incorporates all of the impressive technological production advances we have been discussing recently, and allowing the modeller a number of display options during construction. This model is scheduled for release in December and we end this latest Workbench with an exclusive look at the fantastic box artwork, which has only just been completed.

Wez Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Good to see they're including the jammers - at least you could use them on a decent Support Helicopter - the Mighty Wokka! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff_B Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 one thing i will say, is that is going to be a masking nightmare Nah just do it in gleaming Nato green and a couple of groundcrew with yard brushes, a hosepipe and a pool of dirty white water 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windy Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Well I now have three test shots on my desk in front of me. First impressions is very good, I have the instructions but no decals but that can be easily sorted. I will post some photos this afternoon.

Rabbit Leader Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Well I now have three test shots on my desk in front of me. First impressions is very good, I have the instructions but no decals but that can be easily sorted. I will post some photos this afternoon. This kit's currently not on my 'to buy' radar, however there have been many that have converted once images of kit sprues, instructions and decal sheets have been published on here. I do not need to add another to the stash.... so please don't tempt me!! Cheers .. Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windy Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 More detailed photos to follow as there is a limited internet signal at work. Interesting things to note is the option to fit a electic motor to spin the main rotor head and the option of having it fully folded. Also there are no pilots included in the kit. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvrle Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Folded option - that's great for us with room issues! One (or two or three) to get! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moaning dolphin Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 (edited) Interesting things to note is the option to fit a electic motor to spin the main rotor head So would that be the parts on the sprue that looked like a large cylinder, next to the tail rotor? The bit that had us all confused and multiguessing? Edit: It does look nice though! Edited September 24, 2015 by moaning dolphin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff_B Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Any idea of a release date yet? Well the ETA on the Airfix website is the 18/12/2015, so the weekend before Christmas if were lucky. Should make trying to snag one and get it delivered before Xmas virtually impossible unless your LMS gets them in. Given the Date I wouldn't be surprised if this slipped to January as that's normally the case with late December releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie_c67 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Seems to be an increasing trend not to supply pilots etc. slightly annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moaning dolphin Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Seems to be an increasing trend not to supply pilots etc. slightly annoying. And then to take the effort to have spinny rotor blades, would be a health and safety nightmare! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakub Cikhart Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Any chance for the pics of instructions ? I dont get why the companies do not put instructions to their site (except Revell). Thanks a lot. Jakub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie_c67 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 It's so they can charge you should anything happen to your copy. First hand experience taught me that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakub Cikhart Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Aha, strange. I asked Revell for a long time OOP instructions for CH-53E with Desert Storm camo scheme. I even suggested to get scan with this one side only. I got envelope with complete instructions for free, and they were even removed from some binder as it has the double holes in it. All free of charge. Talk about top service ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
