MarkdipXV711 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) Finally finished this model, which I started back in May this year.. Full build thread is here - http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234981204-navy-709-flexops-due-sea-king-has-6-xv711-circa-1996-819-nas/ Before the photos, just want to publicly thanks "Wafu" and " daryle-five-zero " for supplying / swopping various parts in order to build this. I also have to thank whirlybird decals for making the bespoke squadron & aircraft decals. Model is Hasegawa mk 5 with added PE and a totally scratch build rear interior. Enjoy .... Many thanks and happy modelling Edited April 8, 2016 by MarkdipXV711 58 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stosh65 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Bespoke decals, photo etch and scratch built interior? So not that OOB.. A superb build though, great job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daryl_five_zero Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Absolutely stunning. I've been toying with the idea of forking out for a 1/48 Sea King for a while. Yours definitely makes me consider it more! The weathering is spot on. Fantastic finish to a build of a great subject. Daryl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkdipXV711 Posted August 8, 2015 Author Share Posted August 8, 2015 Thanks for all the positive comments ... it was a good model to build especially the interior. Couldn't have done it justice if I hadn't joined this forum, as you can learn so much from others. 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
