I painted mine with a pink undercoat. Makes the yellow stand out more

What a fantastic tutorial,well done to all involved 👍🏻

Lovely build 👌 Just got mine out of the stash that most of us have 😂 forgot I had this kit . Nice project for this weekend.

Enjoy it!!

Fabulous build. Hopefully mine will look as good when it's done!

I have this kit, it builds into a lovely model, for the more experienced modeller, added rivet detail with a rivet wheel will enhance the model as the actual Sea King has lots of rivets

Thats a lovely model, I have built it before but it fell and broke beyond repair. Next time I shall use primer ,as it certainly helped the application of the yellow paint.

I think a white primer such as Tamiya spray would be more appropriate.

Great tutorial - I’ve just bought one after watching!

Very good video! Nice to see you tackling a more advanced 'next level' kit from the Starter Sets. 😃 I built this kit recently - albeit with a different colour scheme - the RAF version in grey; it was a great build and looks excellent 👍 I have the new 1/48 Seaking which I'll start after I finish an Airfix 1/35 Tiger (early) with full interior, which has been a bit of a 'challenge' as some parts aren't a great fit, but overall it's come out pretty well....man those individual track links are a pain though!! 😜

This kit is really fun to build

Great video really well done

Good teaching aid

I built this one a year ago and while it is a well detailed kit, i found i had to use a lot of filler on the fuselage. And yes, I'd recommend using primer before putting on the yellow paint. It was the first full detail helicopter i had built in many years.

Very cool video, ill be getting this kit soon!

Nice build not sure brush painted yellow is best ..

Thanks for sharing the video. You built a nice model. I wonder why starter kits includes only acrylic paint. In my personal experience is easier to brush enamel paint specially if using flat enamel as in the case of military aircraft. Is it for cost? "eco"- awareness? or any other reason?

Airfix need to seriously include a flat wide brush for painting lager parts..the brushes included are not big enough for fuselage or wing painting

The instrument panels are so fine that brushing them would not be easy. How did you do it!..?? 16:54

Before painting, a surfacer is applied to the surface of the kidult and the applied surfacer must be dried to be colored. Did you brush it after applying the surfacer?? 16:54

Why wasn’t the new recent release not given this scheme

Yep, a major oversight on this part seeing nearly everyone recognises that one, wouldnt mind no official scheme but with no suitable transfers we cant even adapt it

I never use the acrylic paint I throw them out, and use the good old Humbrol instead

Got this on my wishlist Just finished the spitfire vc Wondered if it would be easier to paint it yellow when it's still in its sprue? Also wonder if Airfix have a Tornado GR1 or GR4 kit ?

Tbh i use a tooth pick for the applicator
