Rickoshea52 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) 3 hours ago, Head in the clouds. said: That is great work Dan, the floor looks superb. Did all Sea Kings have the same floor pattern you have painted or did it differ from mark to mark? If they are generally the same I would like to use your work as a pattern for ZB506 if I may. The HAR3’s all had a wet fit floor, or sea tray as the fisheads call them. However this only extended from around the back edge of the radshack to the aft cabin. What I recall from HAR3’s was a large rectangular panel in the middle of the floor for access to an avionics compartment that I can’t see on any Navy cabs I’ve seen so perhaps this was a difference between the marks?

Rickoshea52 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I’ve read a lot of your Sea King build threads recently and and keep seeing little details that I forgot from my time on them...and making notes to include as many I can when I get round building one. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they actually have that shape, or is that just the illusion you create? Did you use a wash to get the saggy parts dirtied up, or did you just created that spots with careful aim of your shadow medium? She looks fabulous! The IP really does wonders to bring out the realism, eduard has really changed how real these kits become with their IP's, seeing how great they look, it makes me want a set for every kit I will build, sure beats trying to paint those details by hand. Look forward to the next update, she's a real beauty! Anthony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hewy Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Very nice indeed, I love those cables hanging from the roof, great touch 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dads203 Posted June 11, 2019 Author Share Posted June 11, 2019 Thanks chaps, the seats are indeed devoid of any texture and so far I’ve used 5 shades of the base colour just to break them up a bit, the photo has exaggerated the shadow and highlights somewhat but they look okay in the flesh Regards Dan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hewy Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Dan you may be able to help me, I'm after some 72nd royal navy deck tie downs for my base, I'm only able to find US cross type ones, do you know if any one does them? Thanks Glynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dads203 Posted June 11, 2019 Author Share Posted June 11, 2019 Hi Glynn, I’m not aware that anybody makes Brit carrier deck tie downs tbh, they are different to the US version which is a shame but I think they could be scratched with some brass wire and plastic tubing. I’ll have to do a bit more research but I think it’s doable for a small section of deck especially in 72nd scale 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hewy Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I did notice the ijn ones in 72nd are similar, single straight bar, but failing a search there is photo of a aew 2 on the deck of uss Washington on the net Thanks Glynn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This link has a photo of the aft cabin and the floor panel I am on about - http://www.bbc.co.uk/tyne/content/image_galleries/sar_force_gallery.shtml?4 The HAR3 is most like the HC4 of the Navy marks [e.g. reserve battery plate on the starboard side behind the RH pilot], but obviously the Junglie cabs had no radar, so probably didn’t have that access plate. The similarities between 3 & 4 are, I presume, why Airfix has given us those two versions but nothing (yet) to represent any ASW aircraft (which were, when all is said and done, the aircraft’s bread and butter and vastly outnumbered the Crabs & Bunglies). Even an HU5 would be a start... Edited June 11, 2019 by Ex-FAAWAFU 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know very little about this aircraft and even less about how the RAF uses them. Which is a shame, but I am planning to correct these deficiencies as I later expand beyond my home military gear. As a US veteran, I am focusing my return to modeling on US equipment that I worked with. But as I am no longer a twenty something, and enjoy history a whole lot more than my school years (if I could do it over again, I would be a top student this time around). I plan to eventually expand out into other nations military gear, and our best friends, the British, are at the top of that list. This is a gorgeous bird, and being able to converse with those who crewed them, is an honor and rewarding in itself. Cheers, Anthony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers. Part of the crew intercom, quick release plugs on the end to fit the crewman's bone domes, there are a few in the back for the other crew members so that they can move around the rear cabin.

Dads203 Posted June 12, 2019 Author Share Posted June 12, 2019 Contrary to the Hollywood movies, I've never flow in any cab where you can have a normal conversation with without a headset. the noise is rather loud, my last flight in a HC 4, myself and loadie chatted using a note books and a MK 1 pencils. There was a shortage of headsets that worked on that cab so it was the best way in telling him where I wanted to get dropped off. The same is also true with the Hercules, It make me laugh when you see the actors having a nice chat during flight in a film without a headset or two, they really were a giant alloy tube of noise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
