Gimme Shelter Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 now that's just how Airfix wanted their new kit to look like when made up - very nice indeed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry1954 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 A superb and stunning 1/72 build. I have the new Airfix Sea King in the stash and plan to build a Norwegian one like this, together with the newer Merlin in a similar scheme. You have really done the model and scheme justice. What paints did you use for the white and dayglo orange? Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Hello Viking, Striking Sea King. Well done. When will they be phased out of service in Norway??? Regards, Orion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BerndM Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Stunning build in a lovely scheme. Good to know about the fit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyOD Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 @Viking don't suppose you did a build thread for this? I've just picked up the same kit and it's always helpful to benefit from a fellow modeller's experience! Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daryl_five_zero Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Used to love watching these fly over whenever I was in Trondheim, you've done them more than justice with your build! Daryl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Poultney Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 These are on sale on Amazon, about £13 I think. Might have to get one. Your build looks great 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Posted May 14, 2021 Author Share Posted May 14, 2021 Nice to see this thread pop back up again after more than 2 years! I no longer have the model, it now appropriately resides in Oslo with my cousin. I managed to carry it in hand luggage on a 'Norwegian' flight without breaking it. The rotors were taped to a disc of sturdy card, and the fuselage in a box of foam chips. On 11/05/2021 at 10:45, TonyOD said: @Viking don't suppose you did a build thread for this?

Cheers Unfortunately I did not do a build thread, and now I don't remember too much, which is probably a good sign as any 'horrors' would have stuck in my mind.

I Remember making some thin card templates as masking guides for the underside chevrons. I.e. I made the orange areas in card, and used them to check where I laid tape for masking the white areas.

I suppose you have me to thank for that... first thing I do when I get a new kit is have a trawl through BM to see what other modellers' experiences of it have been (and nick a few tips 😉) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
