perdu Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 (edited) Gotta admit I have (shh, say it quietly) the Italeri naval Merlin to build during my naviation series LOOKS OK but I haven't gone in deep yet It will be ghost grey too.

Then I need to rearrange my studio/den and then I can get back to it, maybe mid April, once my sister returns to the UK. Colin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex-FAAWAFU Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I acquired this kit for £10 at Bovvy yesterday; by the time I get round to it I hope there are a few more ref pics for the Mk.4. If I'm really lucky there might be some after market decals... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll see what I can drum up once I'm back on the build, 72nd and 48th of course. With FLY NAVY plackards to boot... Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know very little about the Merlin, to be honest. When I was training it was all "by the time you get to SPLOT, you won't be flying Sea Kings any more...", but somehow it all took much longer. I have had a good crawl round an HM Mk.1, and recall being utterly gob-smacked by the sheer size of the thing, but that's about it. I assume the main differences between Mks 3 & 4 is that the latter will have a folding head, tail, etc. plus other marinisation. I know that it's possible to build a Mk.1 or 2 from the Airfix Mk.3 (not least because of Andrew's stunning version on here), but it is probably more likely that I will build a token Junglie for my collection. But yes, definitely FLY NAVY placards! This kind of stuff: Proper NATO Northern Flank Royal Marines, none of this Afghan nonsense!

heloman1 Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 I've not seen the 4+ book on the Sea King, maybe I need to if it's half as good as the Wessex volume. Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
