Finally regarded as complete. My first attempt at a 4 engined bomber and my first attempt at rigging (aerial wires).

The aircraft denoted here is from 1943. PH-H (LM321) was the Squadron marking of 12 Sqn RAF. LM321 flew with a number of Squadrons including 460, 550 and 100. It was finally lost on the night of 10/11 June 1944 over Acheres.

Two pilots that flew in PH-H with 12 Squadron were Flight Leader Sqn Ldr FS Knight and Pilot Officer Thomas Forbes.
Thomas Forbes flew PH-H on 22 June 1943 on an operation to Mulheim whilst serving with 12 Sqn C Flight. Plt Offr Forbes was killed in action on an operation to Turin on 12 July 1943.
C Flight leader Sqn Ldr Knight and his crew failed to return from an operation to Cologne on 28 June 1943. Four are buried in Dutch cemeteries and three are commemorated on the Runnymede Memorial. Their average age was 23.

Hey Aaron,
Very nice model, I'm going to build the RS01 with the decals from Xtradecal and the conversion from Sema Models.
I'd like to order some extra interior from Big Ed, but don't know what model to use HAS.5 or HU.5
Did you start from the A11006 Airfix HU.5 ?
Thanks for your answer,
Luk

Aaron Konz
Hoi Luk, bedankt alvast! Zelf ben ik gestart van de Duke Hawkins doos, maar dit is inderdaad de A11006 Airfix HU.5 doos.
Met wat extra's zoals de kleine Sema Models upgrade set, masks & Xtradecals. Wat het interieur betreft, daar heb ik enkel de meest zichtbare elementen aangepakt, zoals de stoelen voor de diver en medic, en de stoel voor de sarso (navigator). Verder heb ik het interieur niet echt aangepakt.
Zelf ben ik van plan om de andere 4 Sea Kings ook nog te maken, maar daarvoor ga ik wachten tot Airfix de Royal Air Force variant uitbrengt, deze is een stuk gelijkaardiger zowel binnen als buiten, aan de Belgische MK.48.

Succes met het bouwen alvast! Is een heel fijne kit!
Aaron
