Ian Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Kit - Academy 1:48. Paint - All enamels (Xtracolour). Decals - Kit. Extras - Eduard 'Zoom' set. Boeing Vertol HH-46A Sea Knight SOMS Kaneohe Bay Hawaii Mid 1980's Kit was very straightforward to bring together with only one irritating fit issue (the lower rear fuselage / sponson sub-assembly on to the upper rear), other than that it was / is excellent. What this build has done is given me an appetite to do more helo builds in 1:48 (I have a Wessex and a Bell 47). Maybe next time something a little more warlike, who can say. Hope that you like it, please feel free to post any outrage, ask any questions or make any comments. Thanks for taking the time to look.

F-32 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 That's a superb piece of work, I have a couple of shots of one of these aircraft in one of the old Superbase books and always thought it looked really smart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted August 19, 2018 Author Share Posted August 19, 2018 That's an incredible response, thank you all very much - have to admit I sort-of knew folks would like this one as 'mein Frau' even managed to fain something approaching approval "Hmm it's OK, not the usual grey or brown aeroplane or racing car" !!

Unfinished project Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 That’s a beauty I’ve been following the build with admiration love the Seaknight and love this scheme. I’ve got the 1/72 Fujimi “Hotel California “ Seaknight in the stash and I can sea that getting dragged out very soon. Thanks for sharing this stunner 👍 Stef 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Pete, TBH I build a LOT of race cars, especially NASACR's so masking lines & around compound curves is pretty-much a daily thing !! - Once again, folks, thanks for all the comments, glad you all like the build.
