Just some essential supplies of course! Graham


The paint set was on the floor by the till as a one off special offer and I love a good deal


Resisted all the models! Cosford next weekend !!!

So, what did you get then?

Nice progress John ( Revell mix not too harsh but I'm sure Vallejo have a good range IMHO
I use Revell and Vallejo and Tamiya on most builds, if one paint not there this a close match elsewhere

Yeah Robert I mainly use vallejo myself but I hate converting colours especially when in percentages!




Or just look at the box artwork arghhhhhh ! :P

You won't be sorry if you do as I'm about to button it up and so far everything as gone smoothly just that small issue with the small rotor but nothing super glue can't fix and at £13 cheap as chips IMHO

Hi folks tiny update cockpit all done with some added low budget seat belts (homebrew) tamiya tape and fuse wire. Should look ok once the canopy glazing is fitted and painted (from a distance) More later thanks John

Nice work so far John. That scheme you've selected is a colourful one, great stuff. Look forward to all the progress reports

It's coming along very nicely John

Hannants has to be the worst website for finding stuff unless you know exactly what you are looking for. I wanted some gun barrels a few years back and I couldn't find them so I ordered from Poland. When I got the bits I was able to locate them at Hannants using part numbers and other references, direct from Poland was cheaper anyway.
Classic helicopter so will be worth watching. Are you keeping the yellow and blue scheme? Looks very nice.

I find the easiest way to find bits on Hannants web site is to find your kit on there first.Click on the kit and there will be a list of everything they sell for it at the bottom of the page. Of course, this only works if theyve got your kit in their stock!.

Not wanting to make anymore seat belts (6sets)for the seating in the rear I've decided the Wessex will be air dropping vital emergency supplies .


Thanks for looking in and any help/comments cheers John more later......................

Small update as work and decorating takes up most of my time at the moment.


So spreading myself thinly across the four builds I have on the go and I've just started another figure.


Applied the yellow (humbrol) and the clear gloss tried carefully to lift masking from canopy but some of the paint came with it so part of this I will have to redo. The cargo for the hold as been sorted.


More later......................


Thanks for looking in and any comments left. Cheers John

Nicely painted so far John. Yellow is a shocking colour to apply, you've achieved a smooth looking job.
