Great preshading, wish I'll learn to be patient enough to get the same result 🙂 But what is that interesting build visible in the background of pic 9 ? 🙂

Thank you very much guys. @Łukasz, S-61N (Whirlybirds conversion set). If you check my projects there are a couple of photos. Stalled but hoping to restart once this Wessex is finished 😄 cheers again

Nice livrey and paintjob... a pleasure to watch. What did you use to mask the striping?

Aaron Liles
Thanks Bart. The masking was from jammydog. jammydog.com/micro_masking_tape.htm I used the low tack stuff for this. Cheers

is this "mouth" on your heli the air intake for the engine(s)?

Aaron Liles
Thank you all. Hi Alex. It is the air intake. Usually has a mesh grill fitted. The italeri kit has the grill as a separate piece but no hole so had to cut it out. Quite hard shape to reproduce so it's probably oversized. The Bristow's helicopters didn't fly with the grill fitted as I believe that they could ice up and block (although maybe incorrect).
This particilar aircraft, G-ATSC, ditched in 1976 due to the ingestion of the engine intake protection cover not being removed. No casualties thankfully, but the aircraft was written off.
