        Thanks Tony,

        I appreciate that was aimed at Doug but at least you liked it!
        I'll never get to Dougs standard that's for sure!!!

          Oh I don't know - having a very good insight into it helped a lot with mine. Your's is very good Del. If I had to nit pick it would just be the forward cabin door but I will say that the instructions aren't clear at all. And you managed to get the decals on cleanly!! (More than I did!!)
          Next time I plan to build a Mk2. I like the colour scheme before they changed to the tactical dull greys and removing the white from side numbers and roundels.

            Very nicely done Del. You should be more than happy with the result. Helicopters are not easy.

              Sorry Del , I must have just skimmed over the thread title ! But my original intent stays the same - its a superb looking model , the fact I thought it was Dougs shows how good it is , cheers Tony

                Very well done indeed Del.
                Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.

                    Another lovely looking Seaking (Still the best looking Helicopter ever IMHO) - very nicely done!
