New Airfix Sea King

[Nigel Bunker]

I'm building this at the moment and reading the rotor instructions, my mind wandered.

Is this the first 72 scale injection moulded helicopter kit to offer folded blades? Perhaps aomebody out there knows?

And I don't want to hear about aftermarket/cottage industry offerings. I'm talking injection moulded kits or nothing.

Not the first as the recent Dragon Sea King series also offered folded blades as an option.

Is that a yes Giorgio ? Or is it a just comment of not being the first.Its not very helpful.

Makes perfect sense to me. It's not the first as the Dragon kit has that option

The Airfix Lynx HMA8 in 1/48th also had a folding blade option

Thank you gentlemen, that satisfies my curiosity.

The Naval variant of the EH101 had folding blades as well, working ones too
