theplasticsurgeon Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) Posting intent to build this kit. How this is a fighter - well there's something to debate.As the earlier SH-3D variant.Only planned additions will be pilots and seat belts.Here's a vew of the parts:When I go into my loft I'll photograph my previous Sea Kingish form:A horrible Airfix RAF Rescue Sea King,An even worse Starfix USAF Jolly Green Giant. Then these are related - but would be ineligible for this buildAn Airfix HH-53C Super Jolly,And an Italeri MH-53 Sea Dragon, Edited April 23, 2015 by theplasticsurgeon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hgbn Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Good choice Tim, I have build one of these kits too and honestly feel its a good kit despite its age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moaning dolphin Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Looking forward to seeing how this one goes together, makes a nice difference to the Revell and Airfix versions. Posting intent to build this kit. How this is a fighter - well there's something to debate. Hopefully they are not referring to the fight it will put up when going together!

theplasticsurgeon Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) Green Light - up and running, or painting for the early part. This kit cost me 6 pounds at Yate Model Show in 2002. I'd seen the RAF Rescue Fujimi kit at a model shop in Minehead a few years previous - but somehow missed out. Here's most of the interior.and dry-fitting into the fuselage halves. Edited January 31, 2015 by theplasticsurgeon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
