Thanks for the kind words guys! About the airfix kit-- I do not have it so, I don't know how it would compare to this one. I have the feeling that this kit is a re-box of the Hasegawa issue, but I am not sure, it just has a Hasegawa feel to it. About the antena wire-- it is made from stretched sprue attached with superglue to the struts. The little bumps on each side are tiny drops of superglue. I have tried using thin fishing line but I found that it is hard to attach to things, so stretched sprue works for me. |

If this is the 1/72 kit, it's pure Revell Germany. Revell reboxed the 1/48 Hasegawa SH-3H, but Hasegawa has never done a 1/72 Sea King.
The Airfix SH-3 is ancient. I believe it came out in about 1968 or so. It's light years behind the Fujimi kits of the mid-1980s, and even more light years behind the excellent Revell kit. But note that the Revell kit represents a Westland Sea King, not a Sikorsky machine. There are numerous detail differences, so building a Sikorsky, Fuji, or Augusta Sea King takes some work.
Nice job on your Bundesmarine bird! Fantastic!
