Wessex HAS.1 work in progress

Almost finished  

 

 

 

 

 

I used the Eduard HU5 interior where it is the same as the HAS.1 

This is the rotor fold detail set from Scalewarship, very fiddly to build but got it almost done, just the securing straps to paint and attach 

I had initially purchased the UH.5 and then my son presented me with the HAS.1 for my birthday. I was going to build them in parallel but that fell by the wayside 

 

Comparison of the Eduard seats and the kit seat 

 

Comparing the Eduard interior on the right to the kit parts on the left. I had to make seat cussions from Milliput putty, my first time using it. So they are a bit crude. 

Note the Eduard interior ribbing is shy of the floor pan, don't think that right! 

 

The submarine detection aerials were a pain. I used 6lb fishing nylon which initially looked ok diameter wise, but once painted they look a bit too thick. Also trying to shrink them in pairs caused them to break numerous times, so they are not perfect
