This
is the Italeri kit with the Airwaves photo etch set and Cobra Company's
resin interior. I added other detail using wire and stretched sprue. This included wiring in the winch, opening up the pilot's
hatch/window and adding the handles and latches. I have always liked
the Wessex and I just had to be build this kit.

The only thing
wrong with the kit is that the blades on the tail rotor are the wrong way
round, but this is easily put right.
The markings
are as they come in the box and this is a machine based on HMS London in
the early 80s.
I painted the
model with Humbrol enamels and kept weathering to a minimum as this would
be a well looked after machine.
