Hi I’m Pinglie,

Ex Wafu, mk4,5 & 6 Sea Kings ( bit of Wessex HU5 also) hence pinglie. Currently building 1/72 Sea Kings in Mk5 & 6 ASW, HU5 SAR. Junglie is complete.

I would like the 1/48 versions eventually, even have pics of the 195M and Lapads table. Glad they replaced it!

Welcome. I’m just about finished the 1/48 Sea King HAS5.
Rick on page 2 of your build you ask about the stuff near the rear wheel, I have that photo also and it looks like the rear carrier for torpedoes or depth charges.

Like you I’m hoping for a few sets of 819 decals once I buy the big ones.
 
Hi there. Ex Gannet myself. Two tours.
Did the junglie bit too. Then, Wasp circuit until I transferred aircrew.
It’s good on ere so ‘dip’ your fingers and join in the fun.

Two of 819's Mk5's in a car park in Fairley. The near SK had struck the whip aerial on a PAS boat and took off a fair few inches of composite blades. The second SK carried the maintenance team who had sod all to maintain as it was a road job for 04!!
I'm stood by the nose of 04.
