    airfix sea king hc4

    [COLOR=rgb(50,61,79)]Ok guys, I am calling this one done.[/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(50,61,79)]The detail of this kit is nice, I would have liked more detail in the main and tail rotorhead assembly, they are very basic. I added pitch likns to the main rotor head.[/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(50,61,79)]The decals were OK, a little unreactive to microsol, but not to bad.[/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(50,61,79)]The folded rotor head and tail is a nice touch. This model needs to be mounted on a base, there are many things to break off when handling it, I did so with the port side mounding ladder/door.[/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(50,61,79)]Otherwize a good little model, a vast improvement ovr the old tool sea king [/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(50,61,79)]Theuns[/COLOR]

        I totally agree with you about the MRH pitch change links, it's a small detail but makes a huge difference to the finished look...which is very good by the way. You can see this builds well out of the box but also there is still plenty of opportunity to further detail it. Great build.
        On the bench: Airfix 1/48 Sea King HC4, Revell 1/24 Trabant.
        Coming soon: Airfix 1/72 Phantom FGR2.
        Just finished: Airfix 1/48 Stuka & Airfix 1/72 Sea King HC4.

              Looks great Theuns.  Good clean build with a neat paint finish.


              Love the look of the folded rotor.


              Cheers
