Airfix 1/72 Westland Sea King HC.4 with Big Ed p/e

Post by WordenB »

I think it's time to call it a day with this model so here is my finished attempt. As much as I've enjoyed building this lovely little kit it has occupied the bench almost exclusively for many weeks now and I feel the need to move on. A lovely little kit from Airfix and very worthy of the p/e extras in my humble opinion.

Surprising camouflage but it suits very well on this chopper, very good work especially on this "little" scale! :thumb1: :thumb2:

Lovely build - you are absolutely right, the PE does add significantly.

    Thank you very much, I wouldn't have thought it to be a very effective cammo either but it's the box art scheme and I couldn't resist having a go.
