                      HI Rick yes the Seaking should look good but thats if i can hopefully build it to work an light up as the sea king is a lot more of a weaker model than the merlin as its more robust an the seaking has a lot of weak points to do an get over compared to the merlin but i'll give it the good ole college try an see what happens as there is gonna be a lot of planning ahead first before i start the seaking build cheers for stopping hope you are well an your family

                          You really are a glutton for punishment Chris - I don't think I would ever have even considered such a major undertaking mate! All respect to you, and all the best to you and yours.

                            AN G/M to you Steve an yes i am as i love a challange as its modeling isnt it an ive only seen a couple of seaking made an working with lights on these big carriers so far but never seen one built to go on a cruiser like my tiger so that should be something new just got to hope im not overstreching myself as i said in the top blogs that a seaking is a weak kit yes its ok to build an have static an they look good like Pete's one will do but to get it all working an lit up is a whole different kettle of fish as the rotar blades are very thin an the landing gear on them outriggers will also be weak points so they will all have to be strenghtened but planning ahead will see me through i think
                            ATB TO YOU SIR
                            an cheers for looking in much appcheaited
