discussion Italeri 1\48 Westland Wessex HAS.1 plus PE

[peterairfix]

I haven't done a chopper in a while so I will dunk myself in at the deep end the pe on this one is small but as I have grown to love the stuff.
Bit's that have been done so far are the seats with a bit of pe and the seat belts have been started.
I havn't decided witch scheme i will do but more than likley i will do the camo optionView attachment 272291 View attachment 272292 View attachment 272293 View attachment 272294

I have read some reviews of this kit and it looks really nice, I have to get one aswell soon
I must say the top left scheme on the box side is cool.

Time for my first update the pe seatbelts are a bit small but I have them in place without much drama and the cockpit switches have had a dry brush of white to highlight them every thing else went together easily

All looking great Peter. I built the UH 5 (although there's a possibility that should be HU 5) sometime ago and it was a really nice kit. Only the nose needed a bit of a spacer to make it fit properly, an easy fix.

Here's where I have got to the two halves went together without drama and the nose went on the same and I have now got to the point where it's had the first coat of paintView attachment 272783 View attachment 272784 View attachment 272785 View attachment 272786 View attachment 272787 View attachment 272788 View attachment 272789
