Old Collingwood Posted March 6, 2019 #1 Posted March 6, 2019 I thought I would show a kit I built straight out of the box, it was based on a real helicopter I used to see often, it fell together fairly quickly in about four days, I used tamiya enamel paints - satin finish I think.

Sadly no more or all three of them, I used to love seeing the Sea King - S41 coming over me daily, ok the Merlin had taken over but there not the same thing.
