discussion Airfix Wessex SAR.

[Farmerboy]

Second attempt at the Airfix Wessex, Fair bit of aftermarket stuff out now so it’s got new seats, exhausts, transmission cover and wheels.
Xtra decal have just bought out two decal sheets with about a dozen options, so this won’t be my last Wessex.
Got the finish a bit wrong, should have more of a sheen, buy hay-ho.

I didn’t know it was in AMW Darian, that’s a surprise, I have a subscription but for some reason this months hasn’t arrived, I will chase them up!!

Really? That's interesting - don't they have to have your permission to print it? Unless of course I've confused your build for someone else's - in which case I apologise for the confusion! I have to admit it looked like yours, especially with the base.

It's on page 14 of the December issue...

Yes that’s mine, I sent the photos to Airfix and was made Octobers Modeller of the Month, they asked if I would be a contributor but the T&C’s were to much for me, don’t like working to deadlines!! Quite happy that they thought it good enough to publish!!

 

[Darian Frey]

Excellent, and well done on the Modeller of the Month! I understand why you'd not want to be a contributor though, I'd feel the same about the deadlines (not that I'd ever be at that level).
