All the hard work on the paint work was well worth the effort. Well done a fabulous looking build.

[@MrWhiteScaleModels]

Thank you 👍 quite enjoyed painting it but pleased when I reached the end 😅

The round window towards the back, I wasnt sure if it was only the rounded part to stay clear or the whole thing. I couldn't quite tell from photos 🧐

Great build mate. Hats off to you for the finished paint job. I'd never even attempt it but love watching others nail it

[@MrWhiteScaleModels]

Thank you 👍 I did start to wonder why I'd chosen this paint scheme so far in 😁 but got there in the end. Thanks for watching

Cracking job on that one, I bet the masking took ages, you've done it proud. Well done.

[@MrWhiteScaleModels]

Is it the best Sea king kit in 1/72?​@@MrWhiteScaleModels

[@MrWhiteScaleModels]

I think it's up there, parts all fit pretty good, bit of fiddling when closing up the fuselage but I'd definitely recommend this kit. I knew the paint job would be a challenge but didn't expect it to take the time it did, got there eventually 😅

@@MrWhiteScaleModels indeed you dud.was looking at the S.A.R version of the kit
