Awesome!.. I hopped in a Sea King on HMS Eagle when it visited NZ in the early 70's and I been interested ever since...XV666 was called Damien and if you watched The Final Conflict with Kiwi actor Sam Neill you will know why!👹..cheers mate from down under👍🇳🇿
Geez, Airfix are kicking goals. The last few years have seen me become really excited by the resurgence of the brand which started me off in this hobby over 50 years ago.
There is no reason to think they WON'T do other markings in later boxes of this - here the idea was to explore the markings and variants of one single airframe XV666. Having got a feel for how beloved the Sea King is in Belgium Airfix would be foolish not to include such markings in the 2nd air 3rd year re-box releases that feel inevitable.
@@garys_stuff Yes Gary, that may be. But Airfix 2023 is tied to British (British Empire) versions. Apart from the BF110, Me262 and 1 Italian car, all new kits are British. The new Sea Fury (British, Civilian and Australian). Years ago there used to be a version from another country. Of all the Airifx Sea king kits, 1 version is SAR Norway, the rest British. Same with the Spitfires. The kits have get better, but they focus too much on the UK. Too bad they lose a lot of customers in the rest of Europe
@@kristhijs3180 probably for a British company the emphasis will be on British designs, with markings for other countries as appropriate. Many British aircraft were exported to Commonwealth countries such as Canada, Australia and New Zealand, so that's the majority of what you'll see from them, although they do include other nations (Dutch Sea Fury, Norwegian Vampire and French one this year, Danish and German Lynx, etc.). But by its very nature the emphasis will be on UK and Commonwealth markings. One of the first things in the choice of what kit to make is "are there any other versions of it available?" Very little point trying to compete with numerous European and Far Eastern manufacturers on a large number of subjects.
@@garys_stuff You're right, gary. But you can't ignore the fact that Airfix, massively limited to CW countries. Of the new cases (2023) are 90% British (starter kits LIdl 50% British).Then the versions will be made even more British colored .The Seaking Spitfire are the best examples, How many kits and how many non CW versions? It is to be hoped that Airfix will not continue this trend. Many British aircraft served in countries not part of the British Empire. For example: Belgian Air Force (Gladiator, Hurricane, Fairey Battle, Spitfire, Mosquito, Meteor, Hawker Hunter). The creativity is limited in a sense. That's a pity for us builders. The new SeaKing is now 3 light gray versions (with minor adjustment), there are more version: Yellow (SAR GB), Camo with orange nose (Belgium Seaking), ... It's up to Airfix to surprise us with certain kits, but also with their versions. Hopefully they dare to look across the water... the Export version of the Sea Fury was a good idea (too bad the new kit is going back to Australia and UK. No Indie, Pakistan, South Africa or British African countries. Airfix think outside the box
@@kristhijs3180 Bit harsh. I don't have an issue with a quintessentially British brand focusing on products that will do well on the home market. There's been plenty of evidence to suggest they have no problems with bringing out other users' markings later (Sea Fury had Dutch MLD markings, Hunter...) And then there's the B-17, Mustang, C-47, Sabre, Mig-17, Skyhawk. All of them definitely not British. At least they're not pulling a Hasegawa on us (no new tooling since 2015).
Why did airfix bring out the wrong Gannet, as a fleet arm boy , I would have thought they would have released the Gannet aew4 , what were they thinking ffs ....
My guess (and it is only that) is that the earlier Gannet has more potential for second releases, especially in German and Indonesian colours. With the AEW.4 it is what it is and no more. But I share your disappointment in that the AEW is the version I most remember.
It depends on the differences between the S-61N that BA used to operate and this Sea King. I suspect there are too many, but also depends on how accurate you want the BA kite to look. They say they are definitely NOT doing an S-61, not least of which reasons is that they would have to pay licensing fees.
Not a bad 12 months for the FAA modeller! Airfix Buccaneer S.2 C/D, Seafire F.XVII re-issue, new Gannet and Sea King, plus the DBMK Scimitar to come. The modelling gods are smiling on you Gary.
I hope you enjoyed your day at Chard. We were all impressed with the new kits at Historic Helicopters and as it's sensibly priced it deserves to sell well. Hopefully later on there will be a yellow SAR version and I hope it will carry the serial number XV597
It was a very good day - started well with bacon rolls - and a brilliant collection of helicopters. Quite nostalgic standing in the doorway of a Wessex again! Great helos, great team, top day out.
Maybe I need to do an interview with them specifically on this issue.... they have covered it in bits and pieces in the past but maybe one of the designers can give me chapter and verse. Let me look into it.
Cheers Gary,the closest crew I looked up after market on the net where a lynx crew at around 25 to 30 dollars plus postage, certainly brings the kit price up
Congratulations to the Airfix team! Never thought I’d be this excited over a helicopter model but the Seaking is quite the icon, especially the Apollo 11 version. Hopefully Airfix will do a kit of the Royal Malaysian Air Force “Nuri”, or there will be aftermarket parts for a conversion of this excellent Airfix kit to that. Cheers.
Hi :) Unfortunately, the Nuri is based on the S-61 and the differences between the Westland & Sikorsky Sea Kings are quite subtle but significant in details and shape. In the case of the RMAF Sea Kings, you'd need a completely new hull and engine compartment at least.
No they didn't, but I'm guessing they will make the all-over yellow scheme in the future as it is so iconic, plus maybe a Belgian scheme and possibly commando too - very much like the 1/72.
Yes I did. The team thought the most likely cause was a blockage in a tool - maybe a bit of plastic not taken out correctly which affected subsequent mouldings until it was cleared. Not great quality control though, which did seem to upset them. On the plus side it took the spares team only two days to send me a new one.
I spoke to the designer at TankFest '23 and said what I'd really like is a 1/48 Sea King to go with my Buccaneer I'd finished. The man is a true Magician (or Damien). I also asked for 1/48 Royal Navy Phantom, so next suprise new tool???
I think giving Chris the design of the 1:24 Spitfire /and/ the 1:48 Sea King is a back-handed compliment. On the one hand it's saying 'Your workload has just gone ballistic!' but at the same time it's also saying 'You've been given these important projects because we trust you and know you'll do a great job!
Great to see this kit. As a kid growing up in Cornwall in the 70s and 80s these were a big part of my life doing their ASR stuff. Fantastically skillful crews. Too complicated for me but please build the Culdrose "Ace of Clubs" version - just for me!
Remember Airfix has a history of re-issues of slightly different variants in the 2nd and 3rd year of a product cycle. They key here was that they wanted to represent a single airframe in its variants - unusually the changes to variants were made on existing airframes by retro-fitting equipment, etc., rather than scrapping one mark and buying new ones. So I fully expect some different versions later down the line.
Brilliant! The only questions how many can I get away with? Obviously one will have to go with the Sea Vixen and the Buccaneer - but then I really want to do a SAR version... Hopefully a Junglie will appear in a couple of years time...
I'm not sure how much difference there is between this Westland Sea King and the Sikorsky VH-3 used as Marine One. They are sufficiently different that Airfix didn't have to pay licence fees to Sikorsky! You'd certainly be looking at losing the radomes but I don't know if the use of British engines makes any difference to the overall shape.
Looks a great kit, very fond memories of seeing the Sealing flying over my house. I live just up the road from Leconfield where the airsea rescue helicopters were based in East Yorkshire.Also the dad of one of my daughters friends was one of the pilots, so he quite often flew over our village. Looking forward to the build video when it eventually comes out.
I think Airfix are really doing well at the moment. They are cleverly marketing their old "classic" kits at the same time as coming out with some really good modern kits. I bet this kit will be really competitively priced too. They may not be quite up to the top Tamiya quality but then the price will reflect that.
Very exciting not a helicopter person but that might make me think again, no it as 😊 l like them so much detail l will get but l think l will have to build a few more kits before taking this on, 😳am looking forward to see you do this one Gary look long and hard at them instruction mate 😵💫 good to hear from the guys at AIrfix about the process behind it all thanks for a great episode 👍
I'm hoping that it is clear that this is an entirely new mould, which is why I went to the effort of talking to the designer. Airfix wouldn't lay on a special event just for a new set of decals to an existing kit. You could also look on Scalemates to see that Airfix has never made a Sea King in 1/48 scale before.
The kit looks great! Thanks for making the video! I will look forward to your build video. I am probably not going to get around to buying it this year as I need to thin down my stash first!
Looks good, I havent built many choppers this I think will be joining my Gannet and Rotordyne Well done airfix team, you have certainly upped your standards Thank you Gary.

Too big
Too expensive
Too complicated (for me)
Will i buy it?
Oh yes!!!!
Ghost crew again, sad to say. Maybe Airfix could come up with a specialist 1:48 figure set.
I hope Airfix will also releases a new 1/48 westland Wessex, and Wasp. T
Now a 1/48 Wasp-Scout,ooooo yes please good shout 👍
Wasp scouts small enough for 1/24🤞🙏🏽

Nice, the video starts with the Sea King from the Belgian Air Force. SAR basis at Koksijde.
Jason Champion from champion scale modelling did a great review too. Great stuff!.
How straightforward would it be to produce a British Airways version on the Penzance-Scilly Isles route?
It depends on the differences between the S-61N that BA used to operate and this Sea King. I suspect there are too many, but also depends on how accurate you want the BA kite to look. They say they are definitely NOT doing an S-61, not least of which reasons is that they would have to pay licensing fees.
@@garys_stuff Thanks for that, Gary.
Great tincan and string in the school bogs sound quality. Also odd the lads have the airfix logo on different sides of their shirts
Not a bad 12 months for the FAA modeller! Airfix Buccaneer S.2 C/D, Seafire F.XVII re-issue, new Gannet and Sea King, plus the DBMK Scimitar to come. The modelling gods are smiling on you Gary.
Gotta keep him out of trouble and not wandering around those relaxing resorts 😜☕🐢
Interestingly, Dale hinted at some sort of connection with DBMK over the Scimitar but wouldn't be drawn any further.
Great add to the range, along with the Lynx. Let’s hope they add the 3xW’s Wessex, Whirlwind and Wasp.
Hand a 1/48 royal navy phantom to go with the bucc and the sea king

@@whtalt92 thank you for that. Would the Hasegawa Sea King model be more accurate as a Nuri then? I’ve seen a number of that kit finished as Nuris.
Thanks for the review Gary. Did the man from Airfix give you any hints about any future variations on this particular release?
No they didn't, but I'm guessing they will make the all-over yellow scheme in the future as it is so iconic, plus maybe a Belgian scheme and possibly commando too - very much like the 1/72.
A nice surprise, shame about the interviews sound.
Will have to buy this kit!
Did you ask about the bond bug part?

Google of course found yet more scheme options. A bright yellow one - the colour I recall - and a US Navy white one with a red tail.
The yellow one will have been RAF (22 or 202 Sqn most likely), the USN one will have been an S-61.

I know, a clipping problem with the audio in the interviews. Which is why I apologised in the film. But it won't happen again.
I'm hard of hearing, so yes, but turning the captions option on will help immensely.
The big rush to get the stuff on the tube...
For raised rivets, get some cellotape, turn upside down, use rivet wheel to create raised rivets, attach the sticky side to the model side and hey presto job done. Also covers up join seams too so win win. 🎉
What about the edge of the tape?
i was hoping for a 1/24 WW2 aircraft , bit dissapointed really :( nevermind can't please us all i suppose , one thing is for sure i won't be rushing out to buy it , sorry Airfix

Looks great,and its not a spitfire.
No, that'll probably be either at Telford or next year - I'd bet on a Mark VIII in 1/24 because the tooling allows for the changes needed...
