Good Evening! I have really enjoyed this build series. Love the way you go about the process.....You say "This is what i am gonna do, this is why i am doing that, and then you show how you are doing things. plus, you are brutally honest! Love it!

Well done Nigel. As we say in Norfolk… bootiful

Pitot tubes, the modeler's bane! lol. Damn you Henri Pitot!

My word, Nigel, that exhaust soot pattern certainly looked overdone, so I'm glad you mentioned how much the camera was exaggerating the effect. The completed build looks really good - nicely done! Stay safe and well.

You have done an amazing job Nigel. Well done.

Great job Nigel, well done. Tha photos at the end really show it off properly. It's made me want to buy the kit now

Wow! 🤩 That is Gorgeous! You have a real talent and skill, Nigel. 😃 Museum quality! 👍

Thanks for yet another great tutorial series. Earlier you mentioned about a "wood painting" episode which I would like to would personally appreciate!

Great video my friend the sea king looks stunning the weathering is done just right really like the effect of the thinned deck tan really pleased the masking worked out well was worth all the hard work I’ve enjoyed every minute of this build look forward to seeing your next build thanks for sharing 😊😊

Hi Nigel, I've been following your Sea King build with interest and I'm responding to your plea for the correct colour of the part below the rotor head. I worked on Sea Kings from 1974 to 2018. the colours are all BS3181C spec in the main but for the part you need, which is the top part of the main gearbox, that is RAF Blue Grey. The rotor head, tail rotor hub, main, tail and intermediate gearboxes are all in this colour and it is semi gloss. There are quite a few more anomolies, as you have pointed out, but I would be happy to help with any of those too. While I think of it, the interior colour is Dark Admiralty Grey.

Congratulations on a finely finished and built kit.

Awesome job Nigel Can't wait for the next one Cheers from Canada

Looks fantastic Nigel, really lovely.

Beautiful work Nigel. Well done. You bring kits to life. Thank you for all the tips, tricks and suggestions as you built this kit. 49:16

I thought dang! That’s a long exhaust streak! I did find a pics online of the real thing though that had them long done! Exquisite workmanship

that`s a great build you have done Nigel cannot wait for you next build

Well done, it looks absolutely fantastic. Great choice of colour scheme too.

Well done Nigel great build 👏👍

A very nice serie! I will try to do tinted windows because they looked amazing. I'll vote for the Lanc as next.

another great build! Excellent job Nigel

Lovely paintwork Nigel

Hi Nigel, great video enjoyed the ones i did watch, helicopter not my thing, just wanted to mention your colour scheme of choice is in the back of the latest IPMS magazine if you want to compare your model to the real thing, always enjoy your tips and hacks for doing things will come in handy when i start my stash of kits.

the orange crop boxes were fitted during the falklands and were a pita to fit,but the "gubbins" that they were designed for were never fitted,consequently the boxes had a light brown rubbery patch on the front,the two forward ones on the nose had "no stand" on the top,but we always stood on them as they were perfect fer cleaning the cockpit windows,we used swarfega as it stripped the dried oil off the screen a treat!

Museum quality build. I think you also had fun doing it.

I’ve just sprayed deck tan on my KY/2 after following your build videos. Takes the brightness from the decals.

Another great build.

Holly Moley!! Wow!!!

What a beauty!!! What a sight if you saw that while being rescued! 👍

Pro job on this one, very very nice

Loved this build 🐕🙏💪👍💞🍺

Great Job 👍

Nigel, Thank you for another GREAT build video series. It is truly a beautiful build. I will be building this kit along with you after I work my way, with the help of your videos, through the Austin K2/Y build. Thanks much

Well done - looks fantastic - thanks for taking the time to put together such a detailed build - and not lose your mojo and get it finished. Next build? Cry Havoc! And let slip the dogs of war…..

Hi Nigel, your Sea King looks amazing. Lots of work in this one. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day. Jeff

Looking awesome mate

Well done indeed....

Another beautiful build!

Cracking build Nigel. Looking forward to hopefully an RAF version release...

Very nice.

Beautiful Job Nigel - A very interesting color-scheme. I MISS my helicopters days - first jumps from a Huey, then some Sea King, and a long career in the Seahawk - even got 8 hours in the CalFire Firehawk this summer. Too danged old to jump as a swimmer / SAR crewman any longer .

Nice work mate now you can finish the Lanc lol

Enjoyed the build series Nigel. Turned out very nice. Looking forward to your next build from which I certainly will learn new things on how to do stuff. Cheers!

Beautiful model Nigel. Looks amazing. I’m a bit unsure about the soot myself but you had the balls to spray it on so fair play, I think I would have bottled it if I had gone to all that work incase I messed it up 🤣 anyway great job, that would have been my colour choice too 👍

Wonderful build start to finish, very easy to watch and pick up some very handy kits, thanks for sharing Nigel

Hi Nigel, the Sea King looks absolutely outstanding, the weathering was just right, congratulations on a job well done, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia 👌👍👌👍👌👍

That was an eye opening video Nigel. I learned so many different methods that you use to build this one model! Amazing! This build came out very nice. Glad you got it finished. Maybe one day I'll try to build a helicopter. Take care!!

Nicely done

Gorgeous

Lovely job Nigel brilliant work and tips as always, the thinned deck tan is a great idea may give it a go myself. Just go with how you feel for the next build, whatever your choice is good enjoy all you do. All the best 👍

It looks incredible, well done!

Absolutely amazing job. It came out an absolute treat 🎉

superbe

Brilliant build with a strong finish! 👍 Definitely going to try the Deck Tan top coat for myself to see what the effect looks like.

Really enjoyed this build series of the Sea King, Nigel. The end model looks absolutely stunning, and if it wasn't for the fact that I'm desperately waiting for the RAF SAR version to come out then I would find it hard not to go straight online and pick one of these up now! I hope you are happy with what you have achieved? As for what should come next, it has to be the A-20!

wow

Brilliant build well done Nige

Hi Nigel. Cracking looking chopper there mate. But, I think you have forgotten something. That open door with the steps on it. Shouldn't there be a couple of poles sticking out of it with some cord attached to hold the door when its open? In the pictures of it built on the Airfix web site. It shows cables and 2 poles sticking out of the door. Other than that, it looks brilliant. However, I am going to wait until they release an RAF version.

Nigel what a nice end result, what is happening with the GMC bofors truck, Geoff has finished his .

Very nicely done! I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the series. Now, if I could just figure out where you got those clamps from….

Sehr schön geworden dein Modell vom Sea King. Echt bewundernswert, mit was für einer Präzision du arbeitest 👍🏻🏆.

Hi Nigel, just started this kit, what colour did you use for the interior bulkhead? I must have missed when you said and now I can’t find it, cracking job BTW

Hi Nigel! What was the internal rotor boss colour in the end?

.....красивоооо.....
