Fuselage together. I am using the newer Airfix version of the Eduard masks which seem to fit the clear parts ok so far...

Guy Rump
Very welcome as usual Roland 🙂

Guy Rump
Primer on and shading completed, ready for painting very soon. 🙂

Guy Rump
Thanks Roland, it's coming along very slowly at the moment...hopefully I will get a move on and make some further progress soon 🙂

Undercarriage engine completed. Second one almost done as well. 🙂

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.

Great work!

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

Great build & paintwork!👍🏻

I'll get some more pictures up, later today, but basically this is something that I've always wanted and finally got the chance to have.
I printed this myself, after purchasing the files. I have to admit, these are bloody amazing files. I had a few hiccups during printing, and this was narrowed down to a corrupt flash drive. I can't wait to get this one done and on the shelf.

Martin Oostrom
Show us the pictures!

Bozzer
I shall, Martin. Just need to get back in the cave and take some. I can tell you that the chassis is very good. It lines up almost flawless.

Mona
oh there's the uhmm...trailer 😉 👍

Bozzer
After dinner, I'll make sure that I grab you both some pics 😉

Bozzer
Ok, as promised, just for you guys 🙂

Martin Oostrom
It looks so weird in that milky plastic

Bozzer
@martin. I bought some ABS-like, transparent resin, so I could use it for clear parts. What you see is, 2mm thick clear. I've not tried it any thinner, but for my taste, it's not good enough to use as glass for cab windows, etc? However, I'll give it a try, soon, just for a sample. Even i can be wrong, sometimes?

Martin Oostrom
You're not wrong, you tried something new that didn't work out as hoped. No shame in that!

Nigel Chapman
How have I missed this?
Wow Bozzer that is awesome. I agree with Martin it does look strange in that colour. At first glance I thought it was bread dough!

Bozzer
The original mistake was how I orientated the print. Also, I cured it in my machine. On the second attempt, I cured it slowly by sunlight and started assembly before it was fully cured. That turned out better, because I was able to get a better joint and the Super Glue held it better. Still a little filling, but a much better result. My plan is to light sand everywhere, then apply a filler/primer. I need to source this, but I will.
You boys will appreciate this....
The wife walked into the new cave, and stopped talking!
She's now aware of the stash that I've accumulated, during her absence. She said that I must have spent a lot, on kits?
I told her that they're cheaper than hookers!
When the swelling goes down, from my black eyes, I'll start modelling again!

Mr D
Looking great 👍
What is it made from??
I've never come across a build like this??

Martin Oostrom
You should have gone with 'cheaper than booze' 😂

Nigel Chapman
Taken out of context 'starting modelling again' doesn't sound much better 🤪

Bozzer
Lol, she was cool with it really.
@Mr D. This is an ABS-like, clear resin and printed on a resin printer. It's the largest resin build, I've done, to date.

Mr D
Thanks Bozzer, learned something new.
Looks a fun project, all the best with it 👍👍

Finn
Cool project, best of luck

Tony Stark
Thanks Finn!

Nicolas
I'm in. 👍
