Lunchtime office Desk Build - Airfix Sea King HAR.5
Posted by John Leah on Wednesday, October 24, 2012 7:34 AM

I built this at my office desk over 2 months worth of lunch hours from the Airifix Westland Sea King HAR5 gift set. I brought a few more paints in but used only a scalpel and the kits packaged 2 brushes, and a bit of varnish. The base is a polystyrene base with a splash of Vallejo water effects on the top. The figure being rescued in the sea is an N scale railway piece, and the pilots and winch crew are resin pieces.The kit did not have any instructions so I have had to guess most of it from the box artwork - the finnished result is not great but it has kept me out of the pub at lunchtime for the last 6 or 7 weeks! My staff are most impressed at what can be achieved from the basics of modelling away from the workshop

Very nice considering the limited resources!

I see 771 squadron Sea Kings with their Ace of Clubs logo's more or less every other day up here on mountain rescue jobs (flying from 771's Gannet Flight).
