    Now look at that! Lovely work Laurie, I like all the details you put in the helicopter-build. Those 'flying' shots look epic :thumb2:
    Very nice!

              Well this is a conversion to a Royal Navy HC4 Seaking. Not usre but think there must be some floation stuff in the sponsons.

              The conversion set was obtained from David Parkin's Flightpath. This contained metal castings, resin sponsons (your floats)
              & about 4 frets of PE. The PE is double thickness of Eduard & you build parts not just stick them on. Very intricate & enjoyable.
              A lot lot of folding. The staircase is made up of about 14 parts of PE

              Thanks to you all

              Laurie

                OK Laurie thanks for info but im gonna see if I can get away with buildin them without them floats on as it makes a seaking look better but just my opinon
