Rick’s 1/72 Airfix Sea King HAR3, D Flight 202 Sqn, RAF Lossiemouth.

[rickoshea52]

This is Sea King HAR3 XZ596 as she was while at Lossiemouth around 2003/4. The only after market I used is an Air Graphics resin EAPS/SNIPS engine filter, which is far superior to the kit part, Eduard paint masks, Sqn crest and some seat belts from the spares box. Scratch made VOR-D “grab handle” aerials on the tail boom and fine thread for the VHF aerial.

Excellent work. The colours are spot on and it’s a very sharp finish for 1/72.

This looks great, very nice. I saw one land on Woolacombe beach one day some years ago. That livened things up a bit on a lazy summers afternoon.

Hi Rick.
That's very nice indeed. Great paint job especially as yellow is not a good colour to work with.

Superb work Rick. Very nicely detailed.

Built 2 1/48 7 they are nice aircraft to build having so much detail on them.
Think a third is in the hover.
