It should have the correct six bladed one.

Looks very good

Have Corgi improved the droop of the 'at rest' blades?

I just saw this in the ModelZone (I now have £60 of vouchers and STILL NO purchases since October... ) I'm no egg beater fan but the colour etc looks pretty good to me, and the crew look better than the very white ones on the Falklands version !

Can't seem to understand why the recent SAR Yellow one is already getting hard to find and commanding very high prices!! Anyone know why this should be? It aint been out that long and we already had a first yellow job!!

Simple-the original one is very hard to find and commands a premium. Second issue was a different mark and squadron and so complemented the first nicely, plus the success of yellow Sea Kings wasn't lost on the speculators, who also no doubt picked a few up. Final result-sells quickly

Just saw that the 6th February 2011 marks the 70th Anniversary of the Royal Air Force Search and Rescue Force.
Would be cool if there was an anniversary scheme applied to one of their aircraft like the latest Culdrose Sea-King release. Can never have enough SAR aircraft.

Speaking of the Culdrose aircraft I recieved mine yesterday. Well done to all those involved, a superb model.

Just carried out a slight improvement to the Tiger Meet HAS.6, added the missing ECM plinths and rear fuselage strake from the Revell kit and replaced the blades with a set of resin composite ones from Heritage.makes quite a difference , pics later.

Default IFOR stripes...
don't know how else to describe it, but the paint job looks very neat and tidy, can't vouch for any other detail though, not my area of "interest" ! It was in the MZ alongside the deep blue version, they both look to be very tidy pieces of die-cast.

Thats very, very nice

With the this, the Lynx and severalother helo's about i just need a MERLIN to be able to make a mini-FARP

I was happily going to pay full price for it, however on hearing that it was to be had for £24 in a certain sale it has taken the wind out of my sails, i may wait to get it at a later date

Just ordered this one from Js at what must be close to full price - looks just... .

Normally I'd wait for a lower price but Sea Kings have a habit of disappearing and I'd already added a few sale items to my basket so needed something to fill the box
