Sea King

Hi Andy. Do Corgi do the Coast Guard version?? The only one I've found is this expensive 1/54scale by Aircraft Models Corp. Around £114 all up.

Not yet, hopefully they'll look at it though as it would sell well and would complete a nice set.

Here's my shots of the new Corgi 1/72 RAF SAR Seaking paired with the RN version. Just need a HM Coastguard Heli in 1/72 now.<div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div>

Just check you have 2 little black aerials under the nose. Mine only had one, hence had to do some maintenance.

Hi Andy. I just bought a Trumpeter display case TRU9808 (316x276x136mm) for my Sea King. Is that the same as you went for? Tad expensive ,but worth it to keep the dust off.

Hi Mike, Yeap same case as mine, as you said not that cheap but good. Just checked mine and it does have the 2 black aerials on the nose

The Trumpeter case is perfect for the Sea Kink Andy. But was cross with myself; got it from a German outlet only to find, 4hrs later, that I could have got it from a UK supplier for no more than the German postal charge. (£13.99)

Yeah it works really well, You can get a 1/72 coastguard Land Rover that might work well with it, think I've even seen a 1/72 RAF Mountain rescue Land Rover. Which UK Supplier was it, might have to get a second one since I have the two now?

This is a re-enactment of a TRUE story. About a month ago a RAF Sea King chopper was on exercise along the Norfolk coast in the UK and as it was a hot day the crew needed some refreshment. They spotted an ice cream van parked just behind the beach which was virtually empty, so they landed on the beach and went and bought some choc ices.
<DIV>THIS IS REALLY A TRUE STORY. The RAF said it is common practice to make landings during training if conditions allow and the crew is entitled to a break. </DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>It wasn't long before a crowd gathered to find out what the emergency was.</DIV>
