Popular Post HartDeco Posted February 14 Popular Post Share Posted February 14 (edited) Hi all. This is my latest finished kit. The Airfix 1/48 kit is a lovely model to build and the Sea King is just a very cool subject, period! For this build I used several aftermarket parts, mainly from Eduard Model Accessories, like cargo bay, cockpit and exterior details and masking set for the clear parts. JSProducts from Australia kindly sent me their new 3d printed tail rotor and wheel set. Especially the tail rotor is a thing of beauty. Modifications were made in the cargo bay by adding pe parts to the seats and sonar instruments. Also, some of the wall mounted seats were adapted to the folded position. The cockpit and pilot's seats also received pe parts and some of my own. On the outside, the biggest addition was the rigging made for the folded blades with 'socks' made from aluminium foil and thin strips of tape. Especially the pe boarding ladder from the Eduard pe set is a big improvement over the kit part. All I can say is, the kit is a joy to build with near perfect fit. Some parts are slightly over scaled but these were replaced with pe parts. The model was, as always, painted with MrHobby (H335) acrylic paint over black primer. Weathering was done with Abteilung 502 oil paints. Thank you for watching. Edited February 17 by HartDeco 88 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles68 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 So good it looks real. Literally, some of the detail on the walkways, entry ladders & rotors is amazing. Great job! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter W Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 That's a hint to put mine back in the cupboard until everyone has forgotten about yours. Absolutely superb build and definitely going to add the step to mine too, looks really good. Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimT Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 That's really good. I echo all of the comments above - this one sets the bar high. Such a lot of variation in a monochrome scheme, and such a lot to take in in all those great photos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
