scalewarship Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 This is a lovely build. To my eyes it's hard to beat the Oxford blue / white scheme. Thanks abat, i agree even some of the British schemes split horizontally look good like the Green parrot, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abat Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Hi Robin, another prominent component of many RAN Wessex is the port side stores carrier. Will you be adding one here? I scratch built one for my 1/72 version last year but an aftermarket set in both 1/48 and 1/72 would be good to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 (edited) Hi Robin, As a customer from Scaleship, it is good to see, that the HQ is also modeling. It will bring forward some fine designed sets like grills, sonar station and the folding tail set. I agree with abat, that the most missed in the scale 1/7/2 and 1/48 is the store carrier. I am thinking of the fuel tank, MK 33 homing torpedo for the HAS 1, MK..... for the HAS 3 and the lethal depth charges. Regards, Dirk The Netherlands.

NAVY870 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 This is a lovely build. To my eyes it's hard to beat the Oxford blue / white scheme. So says one who never had to do a H1 on the sods. (A H1 was a corrosion control periodic servicing that involve smearing a god awful substance called PX112, which was chemically identical to cats urine, all over the aircraft and wipeing it about with a rag. All it did was move the dirt from the bottom blue bits up onto the white bits and make your watch PO yell at you for making his helicopter look crap) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
