Hi Jason, Thanks for another great review, Airfix did a nice job with this kit. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day. Jeff

I like the way you put the windows in from the outside...so you can paint it 1st and then add the windoes without having to mask them

Been looking forward to this kits release, thanks for reviewing Jason. My thoughts are building it in ramp down configuration which may need the addition of some internal detailing.

The HC designation is for Helicopter Cargo

Scale is fine looks good, only disapointment for me is the intake cones. Would have been ideal for photo etch. Thanks Jason

[@ModelkitStuff]

fully agree

Nice review! 👍 It's a good looking kit; got mine last week. I was a little surprised that there's no roof panel piece for covering up the large empty void into the rear rotor assembly if you make the kit with the rear ramp in the down position..... Shouldn't be too difficult to come up with something, I guess! 😉

Had not spotted the void

Hi Jason, great review again of a beautiful aircraft. Having been up close to the Buccaneer Guinness Girl" which is still in her Granby colours, in certain areas you can see the original wrap around grey - green cammo underneath. Also it looks like with the Buccaneer, the Granby scheme has most of the stencils removed. Probably going to add this to the stash at some point during the year and will do the Corporate scheme as I've already built an FRS1 Sea Harrier from that period and have a Sea King from the same time in the stash. All I need to add is a GR3 Harrier for a potential diorama on the island.

That would be cool

I think it would be interesting to know how big this thing is going to be with the rotorblades, in lenght and width.

Purple parts look like a drilling jig .

Haha, never watched the whole thing before posting.

Hi Jason, that was a grest review, the kit looks absolutely outstanding, if only I was 'into' 72nd scale aircraft, but never say never, any idea why Airfix do tneor box sides upside down? Best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia, Les

Don’t really know

[@martindewsnap]

It's so if they have the box on the shelf in stores with box top facing forwards the box side is readable.
