Popular Post HartDeco Posted March 2 Popular Post Share Posted March 2 Hi all. After the recently finished Sea King, it was time to continue with Italeri's Wessex. I finally managed to obtain a couple of very rare Eduard pe sets which arrived just in time. Even better, on this forum I found a post by 'Hendie' here, who produces some excellent 3d printed detail sets which contain engine bay details and other parts. In the meantime even more parts are available from him. Check it out! The interior walls were detailed with plastic strips, Eduard pe, and some scratch built parts. The seats that are visible through the cargo door, were modified to look a bit more like the real thing. The cockpit was mostly built up with Eduard pe. The 2 pilot's seats are the nicest parts of them all in my opinion. The resin engine bay and engines are real gems and the fit is quite good, considering the inconsistent thickness of the plastic parts. Overall the fit of the kit wasn't too bad and most details are present in the kit. The model was painted with MrHobby paint over AMMO by Mig Jimenez A-Stand black primer. Aquagloss clear coat and metallic paints on the exhausts from the same company were also used. The blade fold parts are from Scale Warship and are essential if you want to save space in your cabinet. And it looks cool too as a bonus. Thanks for watching. René 82 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binbrook87 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Wow! That's absolutely stunning! I looked at purchasing this kit recently but the rotor size footprint put me off. Looks like the folding rotor optional accessory is a great idea! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
