Airfix Hanging Model Aircraft Kits - Westland Sea King HAR.3 Model Building Set, 1:72 Scale Model Helicopter Kit for Adults & Kids 8+ - Aircraft Models Military Gifts for Men to Build, Skill Lvl. 3

I enjoy making these small model aircraft kits.

I am in the process of building this model at the moment and it is begining to look good.

Model was the usual high standard from Airfix, however the paints were very poor would not adhere to the plastic and one pot was totally congealed and useless.

I purchased this as my first foray into making model planes. Instructions were easy to follow, parts went together well, and over all build was very pleasant, so I would definitely recommend this for those wanting to dip their toes into making their first plane. I ended up using it to make my first ever diorama too, which turned out superb!

I like airfix kits and I really hope other people enjoy them as much as me.

Really fun model to build, reasonably intricate. A lot of internal detail as well. Unfortunately, two of the four paint colours had dried up before opening so couldn't be used, and the others (the two main colours) wouldn't apply to the plastic which meant the whole thing was ruined and couldn't be finished. The photo shows the best finish that could be achieved.

These kits are for above beginner level unless looking for a challenge, but finish to a nice result

After a long break from building model kits I bought this set as a reintroduction to the hobby, I liked the fact all of the items required would be included in the kit, sadly two paint pots were dryed up and I had to buy two more paints. The kit quality is excellent and Airfix have come a long way since the last kit I built, the only criticism I have is there was a small gap under the engine cowl which needed filling, understand further items will be needed to finish this model properly, ie sanding bars, sprue cutters, knife etc but we can't expect Airfix to supply us with a tool set on every kit. Airfix, redesign your paint pots to stop this happening and I would give it 5/5 bought another Tempest and Typhoon kit, so hooked again
