This is my Norwegian Sea King Mk.43B in scale 1/72. The basis is the Revell Sea King MK6/AEW with the Eduard etched parts and some scratch building for the radome, life raft containers, Flir turret and double winch.

The decals where taken from different sheets or were homemade. The kit was painted with Gunze acryl colours and Lifecolor acryl for the dayglow orange.

For the display I wanted some snow – so I tried the Magic Snow from Grey Funnel Line and it worked without problems – just some white glue to fix it and that's it.

Nose radome

Hi Pierre,

i can sent you a resin copy of the nose radome, i made a master as i build the kit. Please contact me via mail:

The life raft containers are also resin, but my casting was oversized, so mostly useless. But i have good photos where you can see the correct dimension, i can mail them, if you want.

Best regards

Thomas
