Time I started another wobblycopter. I've a few in the stash, but I didn't fancy building a Hind given this week's events, and the Pave Hawk has loads of PE and would probably take me a year to build. That leaves a Sea King:
The kit was bought at the Southwell show a couple of years ago for the princely sum of £8, then a few days later I saw the Super Profile book in a charity shop, so had to have that!
The kit is from 1998:
There's some nice detailing on some of the parts, but some major sinkage on the fuselage sides where Revell must have planned to use the same tooling for a different version, so some extra windows have been partly moulded.
Not sure how to deal with those - maybe cut out the distorted bits and fit extra windows?
The rest of the sprues:
The main windscreen/canopy has the wipers moulded in - that'll be fun!
The overhead console is nicely moulded inside the canopy. It would have been nice to have a decal for that though.
The decal sheet is for a German SAR version. I'd have preferred RN or RAF, might look for some aftermarket decals.
More to come.
