Excellent attention to detail.

 

I have the HU.5 version if this kit but have heard mixed reviews on it's construction. Can it be built fairly well from the box without any scratch building?

Although nowhere near the level of miniature engineering taking place here, I'm going to leave this image of my build for you to decide 

 

This is straight out the box with the exception of the rotor fold set, exhaust set and having been dropped on the floor and rebuilt.

That is lovely.  I especially lie the way that you've recreated the cover for the air intake.  How did you do that if I may ask?

 

Also what's that device just in front of the starboard mainwheel?  is it some from of night sun?  Never seen that before on a Wessex

Chewbacca Not wishing to detract from the superb work going on this thread so ill keep it short. 

 

The kit has a resin intake cover which I originally used but after I dropped it, it landed squarely on its nose cracking the said resin part.

The good thing about resin is that it breaks cleanly so I pieced it back together as best I could then covered the whole thing with toilet paper soaked in diluted PVA. left to dry then paint. 

The securing elastics are EZ line. 

 

The kit also comes with a representation of the Nite Sun searchlight and associated bracketry. As you say, don't see them attached often so I thought why not?
