RN Sikorsky SH-3 Sea King SAR by Old Collinwood - FINISHED - Airfix - 1/72


Recommended Posts

Just found these  very old files  of an old build I did  some years ago  - not so much a build  talk through  - the only info  really is it was a straight out of the box  build of the Royal Navy Sea King  Search and rescue  version, it went together  very well  except for a terrible join where the one piece windscreen  fits, this needed some considerable effort and glue to close the gap.

I panted it with a hairy stick  and Humbrol enamels and a top coat (humbrol again I think).

 

Just a few pics.

Good job, OC.  Early Airfix?

It was, think it was the same mold as there  early 60-70s  Apollo rescue S61,  but modified with add on like the radar  and sonar cover, also the engine sand filters.
