Westland Wessex

This is the Italeri as you can see. I think I will be doing the HC2 RAF version even though it's labelled as an HU5.
End box for those that are interested.

Looks like you'll be entering the world of wrap-around camo. Good luck!!

Hi Chris,
I have the Italeri 1/48 HU.5 to build.
Look forward to your hints and tips in building the baby brother.
Cheers,
Bigkev

I think you'll find it easier Kevin. I made some other Wessex from Italeri and they usually go together nicely.

Looks a nice kit. Looking forward to the build.

Cabin and cockpit assembled and painted. Nose assembly ready to be mounted once the fuselage halves are together.

Most of the fuselage done. A little filling required.

The Italeri company seem to have sorted their chopper kits, I always liked them.

Hi Chris,
Nice work, looks everything like a preying Mantis about to do its stuff.

Another shade of grey on top. Green camouflage to go over this. Undersides are black (you might just be able to see this).
