RNoAF 330 Squadron Sea King- Airfix - 1/72
In this video, we are building the Airfix 1/72 scale Sea King, as currently flown by the 330 Squadron of the Royal Norwegian Air Force.
As well as building and painting this model, we also look into the history of the squadron, from WW2 until today

wow the pictur of the seaking O_o almost reallife !
magnifique 👏👏
What a great variation of this historical aircraft. I'm currently working on the 1/72 yellow SAR version (along with after market aircrew) pilot,co-pilot, navigator and winchman
A beautiful build! My first flight was in one of those Sea Kings at the Air Forces' summer camp in 1976. It left a lasting impression. Subscribed.
wonderful
This is an absolute work of art. Bravo sir!

Lovely. I'd have wanted to represent the 66 aircraft used to recover the Apollo 11 astronauts after splashdown on July 24th 1969.

I made one off these Airfix Sea Kings recently also.. And also found putting the fuselage together very tricky. Nothing closed up and sealed. Had to trim bits off the inner cabin to have it seal up. A nice model when finished. But Airfix need to sort out this issue..

I'm pretty sure they've sorted a lot of issues with their new 1/48. That'll be big though
Awesome build with good descriptions. You've inspired me to buy this kit. A big thank you for sharing your skills.
That is a superb looking sea king, you did a great job!

The reason I used brush paint instead of airbrush to color this Sea king was because I used brush paint overall!..?? 15:54

Actually, after watching this video, I was thinking of coloring two of the three 1/72 scale UH-60 Blackhawk Kidults with an airbrush when adding "stripes (lace painting)" to the outside of the fuselage! . Watching this video, I was completely shocked by the fact that the airbrush and brush strokes were completely mixed! 3:46

Thank you. I don't think I'll tackle the 101 very soon. I'm rather thinking about working my way through the Norwegian fighter line..
This base of this kit first came out in 1969 (!!) and was updated trough the years with more details, decals and parts. Thats why the fitting is somewhat dated. Your result however is very beautiful.

Hello, awesome video. I watched it like 50 times. I also build this model with electronics for spinning rotors and so. My problem is that i dont have decals for it, because its a german MK41 but i wamt the norway version much more. And my question is. What reason is there for painting it first black and the grey and white? Makes it not sense painting it white at first?
@scalemodelhistory4174

The black primer was simply because that is the one I normally use. White can be difficult to paint straight over black, so by going with shades of grey first, I find it easier to paint white
Hi, sorry but I do not want to sound bad, but you seem quite young. I am older and my modeling skills are only about 5% of yours. Keep it up. absolutely fantastic video, and an even more brilliant build. Awesome.

Yes, that shouldn't be a problem. You might get some pain chemistry reactions, but testing on a paint mule should remove that risk. The inside was painted before closing things up,
