1/72 Airfix (new) SeaKing


Recommended Posts

While things are drying on my current 1/700 CV-16 Lexington project (where there is no WIP),  I thought I would start to convert my Airfix SeaKing to a Canadian CH-124A.  I have a Belcher 'Gulf War' mod kit and some Belcher decals and an Eduard exterior PE set.

Comments most welcome as I am not a SeaKing expert, by any means.

Wow, has it been that long since I started this.  Anyway since PhotoBucket had a cow, here is most of the WIP pics up til today.

I have been displaying WIP pics on the Facebook page as well

I am no subject matter expert on the Seaking, however, miles better than the Fujimi kit, although my Fujimis sit in the stash, unbuilt.   I have never seen the Dragon kit, so can't comment on it.

 

The Airfix kit goes together well and haven't come across too many fit issues, most of my battles have been the conversion aspects to a Canadian machine.

I've never built a Helo in all the  years I've been modeling,  so I can only comment on the workmanship that I see, and your work is excellent. Nicely preshaded over the primer. Looking forward to your next update with some final colors on the skin.
