Unfinished project Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Nice looking clean build looks great out in the natural light. I need to get one of these for the stash I’m currently 2/3 of the way through Airfix’s Mk.43 Norwegian bird and it’s a great looking easy to build kit. Th only criticism I have with the kit is the over simplified main rotor hub and of course the wibbly wobbly main rotor blades that look like they’ve been made from wet tagliatelle that’s been laid out to dry in a so so straight fashion 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no aftermarkets however and honestly couldn't bother with scratchbuilding the detailed rotor, maybe another time (I too have that other kit in my stash) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 That looks stunning in the sunlight. 👍 Did you follow the kit colour call or use something different for the main colour? I did look on the WiP but couldn't see mention of this? Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightningboy2000 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Fantastic build, for 8 days! Just love the look of the Sea King. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billn53 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Done already? I thought I was doing well with 16 days for my Super Sabre. And you did it so well, too! You’ve got me thinking, that I haven’t built a whirlybird yet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junglierating Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 (edited) Got to love a junglie (I would say that) looks like its been cab wiped to death... very shiney PX24 secondary proctective finish....it never lasts 🙄 BZ to you....one minor point and you arent alone ....it appears to have 6/7 MAWS (AR57) ....supposed to be 4 +1....2 fwd,2 aft and one underneath....Id imagine that the airfix instructions are a bit confusing. The aft sensors were moved to the rear of the tail boom from the aft hull section by modification....the reason being that better arcs were found further aft since the hull caused blind arcs . Top marks anyway 👌 Edited June 29, 2022 by junglierating 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
