I won't be paying them a cent, so most of my old postings will have broken links until I fix them. $400 you gotta be joking
I have finished the Sea King, if not the diorama,but I will get her in here under the wire
I have to make a movie with the lighting and that will take a bit for me to figure out

Anyhow, Airfix 1/72nd scale Sea King Helicopter done in Search and Rescue Livery of the FAA
SeaWaves PE additions for the open crew door, cockpit dash and exterior doodads (two separate PE sets)
Lots of scratch work on rotors and cabin internals and such.
This older Airfix kit is an adequate start, but does shine more with some PE kits and scratch building. The raised rivet detail is awesome, but a royal pain to keep intact with sanding and finishing seams. I used tiny drops of white glue (PVA) to rebuild lost rivet areas. I was impressed and surprised by the decals...much better than Tamiya
I have really enjoyed the kit and love making helicopters for some reason...sucks as their interior details get hidden very fast
WOW!
