Restoration of a previously built kit (not by me) just to not waste a well built model.

I can't find any photos of the machine quoted on the Microscale sheet, or any of a matching machine.

It was all going so well till the dog got involved.

Greetings for Kimi 😉
He made your project much more challenging now 😉

Yes indeed. However considering the damage he has inflicted on the garden and house furnishings, I've done well to have only this happen to my models.

Am interested to see how you get on with the restoration. 👍

Damage limitation exercise complete. Now have an HAS.3 kit short of a sponson. Might as well rob the rotor blades as well as I can't find the other 4 off the SH-3.

It's never the dog, always the owner 😉 👍

Bummer about the damage. But it's hard to stay mad for more than 30 seconds when looking at that face.

I agree with Dave, although for me it would be less than five seconds. 😄
Gorgeous dog.

Bummer about the stripy decal 🙁
Your project made me look at these white-grey Sea King kits a bit closer 😄

Small update.
Thanks for the kind words and welcome to the official Kimi fan club.

Decals finished. Some small touching up to be done. Bigger job is to try to make a folded rotor.

In other news Kimi has destroyed a pair of glasses and 4 of our 6 table coasters.... however all models have escaped being targeted today.

Thanks Gorby.

And thanks to all the other mates for commenting. I'm calling this done even though I spotted a touch up job to do when adding text to the last photo.

Nice build. I'm also making a Sea king, but in 1/48. Are you going to make an aircraft carrier deck base with it?

Nice finish of this adventurous build 👍

Thanks Adam and Łukasz. I have a small base already painted up as a part of a deck I use for some models but I need to make it better.

So Microscale were right. Ah well. It's possible we both are....
