The REAL Wessex HC.2 Protatype

[Gondor]

The problem with the missing windo is kind of sorted. My recent purchase of an Italeri HSS-1 Seabat and the arival of the Wessex HU.2 conversion set means that there will be two windows left over from the Seabat as they are replaced by bubble windows in the HC.2 so a good result! Still no idea where the first window went though and that will turn up once every other window is fitted.

Of course it will, and I'll probably hear it giggling down here in S London

Nice. Always liked this chopper. Looking forward to seeing some more.

Not done much recently, just lacking the drive to get on with this model. I have been getting parts to build a r/w HC.2 but with an early nose and today received a conversion set from Air-Graphics. Been trying to get the darn thing to fit! It should be a simple case or attach the two large sides of the nose together then attach the new nose to the front replaceing the part from the HU.5 kit. However things are not quite right.
The measurements are, with the nose pointing to the left and the correct way up, going by the drawings in the 4+ book, three foot between the upper nose line and the step in the nose, six inches for the length of the step followed by two foot six inches to the lower fuselage line. The conversion set though is different 
The upper flat surface behind the grill on the nose measured two feet and six inches on my item with the step being nine inches and the lower part being three foot long, almost as if someone got the dimentions upside down 

The depth of the nose where the step starts is too deep so I should be able to at least get the edges to fit even though the rest will have to be filler and plastic card to get it right.
