1/700 Naval aircraft.

[Ron Pearcy]

I'm building a 1/700 scale model of Hms Invincible for a friend who served on her.

The Revell kit I've got comes with a couple of Harriers and Sea Kings but I would like more to make the deck look 'busy'.

I can find 1/700 Harriers and deck vehicles but I'm looking for Merlins and Sea Kings. Can anyone suggest a source please.

Many thanks in anticipation. 

PS. This will be my first ship build.

Hi if you check eBay there plenty to buy from. Just put in 1/700 Harrier or Wessex or Merlin,I have bought from the Chinese sites ,had no problems.Don't buy from US sites the P&P are too high.

Thanks Richard.

I stock Sea Kings under my own Starling Models label, I do usually have Merlins but they are out of stock at the moment, they will be back later in the month.
