[@PaulEastham]

Great modellers don’t need airbrush:) I wish I was such one.
Amazing job my friend.

[@Ryker45]

Thank you so much 😀

[@davidhinkson8856]

I bought this kit a month ago - you've done a great job with it! Inspiring me to move it up on my build list.

[@Ryker45]

Thanks David, I hope you enjoy making it as much as I did pal :)

[@jasonellis4342]

[@Ryker45]

Thanks very much Stuart, I was impressed too :)

[@JB-sv2uc]

You nailed it well done, beautiful model

[@Ryker45]

Thanks very much for your kind comment :)

[@Alantheleopard]

Sweet beauty, and the fact that the yellow paint is so tricky to handle (at least as I see it) adds yet more merit to your build.
I must get a Sea King for myself one day. It´s a helicopter I always liked a lot.

[@Ryker45]

Thanks very much Alan

Cool!... I have an old Airfix SH3D Sea King... Apollo missions👍🇳🇿

[@Ryker45]

Blimey I remember making that when I was a Kid :)

[@hueyJoe135]

Great build son.
Looking forward to seeing your next build.
I hope you and your family stay safe and have a good Christmas and all the best for the new year.

[@Ryker45]

Thanks very much Joe, The same to you buddy :)

[@trekmod]

very nice build. looks great.

[@Ryker45]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it :)

[@MrPDoff]

It is a great, very enjoyable build a huge improvement on the older kit. You do get a lot of plastic for your money. I wish it came with a crew, two pilots and winchman.

[@Ryker45]

I agree with you about crew, what also disappoints is Airfix releasing kits that had more than one crew member but you only get one aircrew member in the kit, Blenheim for example

[@mh53j]

PJ Productions from Belgium do a really nice SAR crew set, 2 pilots, winchman and rescue swimmer in the door. The helmets are current US model (HGU-56P) but not many will notice in 1/72 scale. They also have nice 1/48 helicopter crew sets, including a Royal Navy set for the Airfix Lynx (could probably be used on the Italeri Wessex as well). They can be found on E-bay as well. Really need to check them out; I've got crew sets from them for all my helicopters... which is a lot!

[@MrPDoff]

@@mh53j I have the 1/72 figures

[@fordbotham5981]

Looks awesome mate.

[@Ryker45]

Thanks very much, your a pal :)

[@saxonstacker1078]

Amazing.

[@londonqrivera929]

Just got this model today I'm going to start on it tomorrow however paint it in American markings, nice build though

[@Ryker45]

Thanks very much for your comment, I hope you enjoy the kit as much as I did. Are the US marking from a decal sheet?

[@londonqrivera929]

@@Ryker45 yes they are from a old model sheet I have there are some decals that I will still use that came with the kit, the kit is coming along very nice now

[@joeshmoe9978]

Nice build 👍

[@Ryker45]

Thanks very much Joe

[@MichaelCampin]

I remember making that model I just found the yellow a tad difficult to get a decent coverage

[@Ryker45]
