Airfix Sea king HU5 build No2


Recommended Posts

Cheers Roger, 

 

Just adding the lights to the nose area, some MV lens fitted to the twin side by side array, the single retractable will get the same treatment.

 

P1060291

 

P1060292

 

P1060293

 

 

 

Glues into place with Formula 560 canopy glue, I'll add some micro crystal clear to the lens once dry, they then shouldn't go anywhere.

 

 

Regards

Great Sea King build going on here Dan, might have to dig one of my own from the stash soon, but need to get a handful of others across the finish line first!

Got hold of some of this stuff, if you use white plastic card for scratch building then its really good to 

see where you are putting the glue and parts. black extra thin glue, great stuff indeed :D
