David TaylorCheck your sensor fit out and sand filter,I dont think they had them at that time.I think Cyber Hobbies Seaking is more representative of the period.
31. October, 10:44
Jonathan Read-BoneThanks for the feedback David .. I totally agree. I only discovered Scalemates projects this morning and was having a bit of a 'play' to see what it was all about. Still not sure how it all works but guess it's a way of sharing our builds
So, I've updated the project with a bit of commentary and will look out the Cyber Hobbies version, albeit there are many out of the box modifications one could make to the Airfix version which I may look at later / next time.
31. October, 12:10
David TaylorIf you ever build in 48 the flightpath conversion is very detailed albeit the sponsons apparantly are oversize but look OK to me,
31. October, 20:02
Mirko RömerWhat could be more appropriate as first contribution to Scalemates! Welcome and keep up that lovely work!
31. October, 21:11
Jonathan Read-BoneThank you David & Mirko ... I'm blown away by the kind responses! I returned to scale model making, probably like so many, at the start of lockdown and am on a steep learning curve as I get to grip with so many new elements to the art that in my early years of Airfix kit, tube of glue and enamel brushed paints, I could never have imagined. I'm loving the journey and now that I have discovered Scalemates I'm looking forward to learning so much more from you guys!

14. July 2015, 11:32
Steven Van DyckThat's a great base for your Sea King! I once made one too, so I can tell you about one little but important detail. If you fix the sponsons for the wings, you shouldn't clip the 2 spars extending into the fuselage. Watch this picture:
[img1] . Doing so causes a slight deforation in the entire front undercarriage frame, causing the innermost tires to lose contact with the floor. I corrected this in my build, but that was before I came to Scalemates:
https://modelbrouwers.nl/php..180fb55d2a16417&start=50 28. October, 11:59
28. October, 12:06
David TaylorNice build Marko,got a few in the stash.Did a HC4 conversion with one so the spare long sponson starboard will go to produce a HAS6.One question why did you crop the sponson spars.
28. October, 21:22
Steven Van DyckI blame that on the manual, they should warn the builder that there should be some space between. At least in my Revell reboxing that wasn't clear at all. In the Hasegawa manual it's only hinted at in step 12, but that's pages before you assemble the sponsons.
That seems like a Chinook coming along too!

dacoproducts.com/KDCD48.php for the colour references. The stuff is pretty hard to come by depending on where you live. Verschooten in Antwerp used to do quite a good selection of DACO paints but I don't know what their stock is now.

Burkhard DYes, we had Bernhard as the guest star at our bi-monthly club event. That was fantastic. It turned out that all the detail on his Seaking Mk.41 are MUCH smaller than what the macro photos here on Scalemates suggest. Seeing a rotor head in 1/72 complete with hydraulic lines and and even the tiniest nuts and bolts was stunning. The NH-3 nicely portraits stressed skin effect from differential polishing along the spars and stringers of the wings, something not visible in the photos here.
Thanks again for visiting, Bernhard!

Nils Steyaertthe project is underway
as this build is being assembled with another seaking, i have merged the 2 build topics into 1.
the plan started almost 2 years ago, but got delayed, witch might have been a good thing.
the orriginal plan was to build the 2 seaking from the Sweet kits OOB, however, recently AFV Club's new 1/144 SH-3 Sea King has become available, witch is far superiour to the Sweet offering, not to mention that it has an interiour option. i have decided to combine the Westland parts from the Sweet kits with the AFV kits to build a better 1/144 Sea King.

Nils Steyaertmain assembly on the kits is done, the fit is nearly perfect, only needs a little bit of thinned down filler on the bottom, otherwise it looks great. i did encounter some problems when cutting out certain smaller parts as the plastic of AFV is a little brittle.
