HI Rick well ive got a seaking done in yellow as its the one i think it was Andy the paint guy treid to paint it in bright yellow an was not happy with it so he sent it to me an to me it looks ok but i think yellow was not a royal navy colour an will look a bit outlandish on a warship flightdeck. Only lot who would like that WHOULD be them little buggers the minions thinkin its a gaint banna lol:rolling::smiling::smiling::smiling: but a m8 has sent me a pic of a R/N seaking in red an grey so may do that colour yet or the camo:thinking: OH CANT MAKE UP MY MIND dessions dessions oh boy ive never been this indesive ever must be my 70th birhday comin up in december the 20th whats gettin to me lol :rolling: :smiling::smiling:
ATB to you Rick my freind
chrisb PS the red an grey vershion i think i may do this below an this is a navy vershion an will look more in keepin with a military helo on tigers flightdeck
SORRY Rick to dissapoint you lol :rolling: :smiling::smiling:

[boatman]

AN Would you guys like to see the build of this seaking as nothing will be workin an no lights are bein fitted as this will be IN A folded up postion on the flight deck ?

of course, Chris!

I used to be indecisive Chris, but now I'm not so sure! :tongue-out:

That red & grey Sea King looks rather good, and easier to mask than the camo, and yes, of course we want a build thread!

HI ALL ok ive checked that i have red an grey in the rattle cans sprays so this is the one i will be doin an i'll put the build on here if it ok with the mods ? as its gonna be on the ship anyway an i dint find it Ian as a m8 who is into helicopter an knows near all about them as he has loads of choppers but cut in near half as he loves to build all the chopper 's in each sqr an all the correct serieal no.s he emailed the pic to me so i'll start the build on here tomorrow if ok with the mods ? as its all part of this ship build anyway ok?
