1/72 Airfix Seaking

Hi, my name is Warren and I come from Plymouth in the UK, here is my first attempt at an article for ARC.  This is the old Airfix kit with a couple of improvements.  I've detailed the interior with some ribbing and some stretched sprue, a small fold down bed was also included.

The tail and main rotors are folded a little extra detail was added in these areas.  The kit is painted with Humbrol enamels and weathered with pastels.  I was brought up with the Airix brand in the '70s, so I have a soft spot for them.  I enjoyed biulding this one, a bit basic by today's standards, but an enjoyable build.
