Yep. This one looks like it sat on the deck covered in a tarp for 5000 miles 😄

What it says on the sides: WOW
Fantastic surface treatment
Seems italeri is really offering a little gem here or did you do many modifications besides the eduard PE?

Thanks, guys! 🙂
Daniel, the Italeri kit is basic and has some lacks and issues, but it's quite pleasant to build. Most modifications are from Eduard's PE sets. I've only added some wires, pipes and air scoops, drilled some holes and made interior's ceiling (not visible on those photos). There is "work in progress" album in this project, where my modifications are visible.

Oh, I've almost forgot - tail rotor blades are wrong direction in this kit! They are counterclockwise, should be clockwise. It's not very hard to correct.

Rotor in mine is correct, but in box you get incorrect. 😉

Very nice Wessex. TOP.
How well did the kit build? I am considering buying the kit as well.

The Italeri-kit is quite nice and easy to build. You have to "turn around" the tail-rotor, though, since it´s modelled wrong.
