Yes indeed! Sweat equity pays off! Another nice one. I've also paid attention to Shark-64's builds. And I watched Flory's videos.

Very lovely build! I love the Wessex, and you certainly did it justice!! I have the HU.5 kit, and the Adriatic (now likely defunct) 3D printed accessories, and some from Hendie (on Britmodeler). It's going to be some work, but I hope I can do as well as you! Cheers H.

The orange hose are SKEET or SKAT hose depending on single wall or double wall... flew 1900 hours on the 300C, CB and CBi, and the system is similar to the first picture! We had a plastic disk to warn about CO poisioning, it'd change color...

they are part of the accsesory section of the engine, or also could be the tank for water injection, but I don't think so.

I flew the Civvy Bell 212HP for 5 years, loved the "Steamchicken", now I get to drive a 412CF around!

Having flown Civvy 204's and a UH-1B that was supposed to be a civvy 204, that looks quite amazing! Trumpeter have done some research on this one!

Downward firing seats were only used on very early A models I believe. Anything used by anyone other than the USAF would have upwards ejecting seats. The F-104G and CF-104 used by MOST countries other than Germany and Italy would initially have had the Lockheed C-2 seat with just the lower ejection handles, then SOME nations changed later to the MB Q7 seat. The Norwegian CF-104D pictured on the book cover got the Q7 seats as a mod after retirement. The bay below the tail is access to the hydraulic systems. right behind it will be the drag chute compartment.

the LA County Sheriff is an actual SH-3H Sea King. The others pictured are all 61N or L and don't really carry the moniker Sea King. But you won't be ridiculed for calling them that. The bottom picture shows the Canadian Helicopters Ltd's fleet that went to Afghanistan. I currently work for that company nowadays.

8.86 NM a minute at 532 knots. Calculated on my trusty E-6B

Thanks!!

@dai phan the three lamps (2 round, one rectangular) over your work bench, what are they? (Brand). Looks like adequate light over the actual work space, which I'm struggling with as I'm getting older. H.

the only thing I want to add to this discussion is the retarder. It is glycerin based, and can make the paint take a long while to dry, and I have ammended this formula to only 1 drop of retarder. The paint still flows nicely, and no tip dry as of yet. Other than that, this Mixture as described by @FalconFan24 have been used successfully by me for quite a while!

There are images of Intruder guys with mask off and boom mic, but I don't have the book anymore... But yes, they were indeed sometimes issued with a dual setup. I don't know why.

The A-6 crews could switch between. their helmets usually had both.

I thought Eduard had some updates too. For my skills, the kit is enough!
