Very fond memories of the Airfix Seasprite as a kid (also one in the stash).  This new kit is an absolute beauty.  I think that I am in love..... 😍

I just got one in the mail. In a word, brilliant! At first glance at what’s in the box, which for starters is first class, the parts are beautifully detailed inside and out (if any aftermarket company can find some feature that’s missing or shape that’s inaccurate, I will be very surprised); the multi-page instruction sheet is in color, detailed, and on high quality paper; photo etched details are provided where injection molding would be inadequate; and decals are provided for four different helicopters along with almost as many stencils as would be on an F-4, all of them readable with appropriate magnification and none of them bogus as near as I can tell (I did spot a typo with an 8X lupe while doing due diligence). The doors are molded in clear plastic, which minimizes the number of windows that have to glued into openings. A painting mask is available separately.

 

I won’t have a chance to do other than fondle the plastic for the time being, but the photos of a test build posted above and elsewhere suggest that a reasonably skilled modeler will be very pleased with the result.
