Above you said, you'd aim to please. There is only one person you have to please and that is your self. The rest of us are just spectators. Colin Apologies Colin it did at the start then change from HC to HAR. Had forgotten. Laurie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaurieS Posted January 26, 2022 Author Share Posted January 26, 2022 Little delay washing 50 models filthy. Shown down below the state. But now back on course. Laurie http:// 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomjw Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Nice to see this project moving again Laurie. You did make me laugh though when you forgot to take a photo of the only parts that fit 😂 Looks like a challenge, but not as much as cleaning your other models covered in dust. Nightmare.

Jonners Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Tidy work with that port side fuselage strake, Laurie; it's a very obvious feature of the real aircraft. Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Tom Thanks Tom very nice of you to comment. See you have built the De Havilland Heron. Built one about a year ago for my Jersey Airport 1950/60 diorama. Built with jersey Airlines livery. One at the Airport, a real one, used to fly but the trio owning it could not afford the up keep. Shame. But you can purchase it for £1. Have it's little sister the Dove to build.

Mess on the photos 12 month build. The Helicopter was about 2.4m (10ft0 from the window. Majority of time had window closed. Flats near finished. Models sigh of relief. Matter of interest. Have a mini vac which took away top fluff. But most dust just stuck. So put them in the sink warm light spray agitate with large fluffy brush. Drain. Using microfibre cloth just wipe those drips left. Laurie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex-FAAWAFU Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 For some unaccountable reason I have only just spotted this build. It’s probably too late, but the panels on either side of the pilots’ seats (underneath the window) don’t exist in a Westland Sea King; they’re a Sikorsky thing. And HAR3 “during the Falklands conflict”? Not until well post-war. But that all sounds churlish. Somewhere in the mists of this board you might find my conversion of the Hasegawa Sea King to an HAS5 (as yet unfinished), so I understand what you’re going through, both positive & negative. You’re making a lovely job of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I have noticed (rattling thro. pages of pictures) there are so many different variations even on the same mk.
