Bernhard SchrockIn the meantime, I can report on practical experience. The decals from Nils are absolutely top class: in quality comparable to Cartograph. Are absolutely thin, cleanly printed and very good-natured in processing. After treating the model surface with Mr Color 232 Setter and subsequent use of Micro ScaleRed Fluid the carrier film is no longer visible at all or the gloss level of the carrier film adapts to the gloss level of the unterground. By the way, my underground/model surface was at most semi-matt and, as usual, not drowned with shiny clear coat. As usual, I will not use clear varnish afterwards.
One more point I would like to underline especially: the national badges/roundels were printed without white. So you automatically have the appropriate shade of white for the underground. Thank you Nils Mathisrud. Highly recommended.

Bernhard SchrockToday I had the opportunity to see the finished instructions of the MK 43 conversion kit for the first time. It is a PDF document consisting of 8 pages, which contains 18 detail photos and 2 photos from the side of the Norwegian Mk43 Seaking.
All photos are excellently exposed, and give clear indications of the position of all individual components. The photos are of machines with the numbers 60, 62 and 74. (First delivery series).
Also parts for the subsequently delivered three machines 322, 329 and 330 are included. If you want to build one of these subsequently delivered three machines, I recommend to consult original photos. There are small differences between the 1.st and 2.nd Serie.
But now back to the conversion kit from Jam Screw. In my opinion, the instructions leave no open questions as to where which part is to be attached. The original photos in the are sufficient even if of course more photos will not hurt. I recommend the WalkAround by Luc Colin, which is dedicated to the 330 and contains 122 photos.
primeportal.net/hang..lin3/sea_king_mk.43/
Overall, the instructions are exemplary. I can hardly wait to hold the parts in my hand and finish my Mk43 with them. Very recommended.

Bernhard Schrock AuthorI just put the calendar on the 24th. December. For 20 minutes I have been sitting at the living room table and unpacking the countless parts from the transparent box with the conversion kit for the Mk.43. It's unbelievable, because the parts don't end. Seeing the elements on photos or as views from the 3-D editor is one thing, but the miracles (that's what you actually have to call them!) holding in your hands is something completely different.
It's been a while since I've detailed the fuselage/hull. But now the memories come back: it is a great pleasure to see what a detailed depth Andreas and his team have realized. As an example the nose radom: there are two sizes of screw heads / rivets and on the outside the flange is also realized with screws. The rescue rafts have partly (it is true) a protruding edge on the support, on which the correct number of screws is shown. The upper radom is also a work of art in itself: the two different types of fasteners are absolutely finely reproduced including the reinforcement sheet / doubler between the base and the removable housing of the radar.
The set includes two winches, which have the typical „box boom" and are even completely printed with a hook. I hope/I pray that I did the right research and made the frame of round profiles in the right size. I find the many small antennas particularly valuable, which are absolutely filigree with screws in the right place/in the right execution.
Conclusion: it is the best conversion kit for a helicopter that I have ever seen and which in my eyes is hard to beat. The price is absolutely justified and if you don't have it yet, grab it!
Very recommended
P.S. I'm looking forward to take the project up again tomorrow🙂🙂

Bernhard SchrockToday the package arrived from Spain with the engine for my current project (NA-16, X-2080)
The very first T-6 Texan (NA-16 prototype X-2080) | Album by Yellowwing (1:48).
There are two variants of the R-975 Whirlwind at Dekno: with one and with two exhaust pipes. And there we are already at the special features of this engine, because I ordered both types.
At first glance, you might think that the Whirlwind is similar to the Pratt & Whitney R - 985. Unfortunately far from it. The shape of the cylinders is very specific to this Wright engine, as with many Wright engines, and significantly different from Pratt & Whitney cylinders. For example, Whirlwind has the exhaust system on the front. Only the left cylinder head has ribs, but the right one does not (seen from the front).
In contrast to the R - 985, the ignition system is also at the rear. Summa summarum so both engines are not interchangeable. Dekno has done all the work at this point and implemented everything very accurately, the parts look very well printed.
I particularly like the intake system on the rear side. I hardly believe that you can top the quality.
The packaging is also stable and instruction clear.
Very highly recommended.

Bernhard Schrock AuthorThree years ago I already built a model of the MH-53 and because of the dimension of the project I will definitely not build a second helicopter of this type. Is this a reason to do without the extraordinary rotor head from ResKit? A clear no! I have enough space for this in my aviation museum.🙂

Zbynek HonzikThank you very much, Bernhard!
It's great alchemy and fun.
Not only in colour, but also in detail. What details, such as engraving or rivets, are reasonable to omit at a certain scale. Or pitot tubes in 1/200 scale on airliners....?
Your information goes very inspiring. Many years ago, I read somewhere a reference to similar rules of lightness of colour by scale. But I'd forgotten that, and you've reminded me of it and, more importantly, clarified it. Thanks!

Bernhard SchrockI really like the Catalina, but unfortunately I won't build the model in 1:48 because I just don't have room for the finished model 🙁. Should I therefore do without this extraordinary set? A clear no! 🙂
It definitely has room in my aircraft museum.
It is a masterpiece of 3-D design and magnificently implemented in 3-D printing. The depth of the details is incredible. On the outside the rivets are very finely represented, and in some places in two rows as in the original. Even the two screws on the pipe shoves (exhaust system and intake system) are present on the cuffs!
They are the best radial engines I have seen in my life. The ignition cables, two pieces per cylinder, go away from the ignition ring to the individual cylinders in the correct pattern or at the right places. Between the two cables of a cylinder, a bracket is modeled approximately in the middle of the path, just like in the original.
All oil circulation lines are present between the cylinders.
On the back of the attachments are all hydraulic lines, hoses and electrical lines.
I could write here two A 4 pages about the detailing and add a link to my album Luftfahrtmuseum.
Very highly recommended.

Bernhard SchrockToday I have the opportunity to hold the new version of the MRH in my hands for the first time. My construction of the Japanese MH-53 was a few years ago, but I can remember the details well. At that time I had the earlier variant of the MRH, which did not contain hydraulic lines.
The difference between the two versions is gigantic! A masterpiece in 3-D construction.
I hold the parts in my hands and don't want to believe what I see (I know what I'm talking about because I've laid most of the hydraulic lines (cooper wires) and know them by name and surname🙂🙂 ).
The big challenge, however, will be to release the individual very well packaged and secured parts. It's a job for a good morning. So you should take a lot of time with it.
Very highly recommended.

Bernhard SchrockHieß es nicht bei TUI „endlich mal wieder nicht zu meckern?“ Hier ist es genauso! Auch hier hat sich DF HeloStuff wieder selbst übertroffen. Hervorragende Qualität und Detailtreue gegenüber dem Original. Für meine erste Mk.41 war es zu spät, habe aber den Sitz mit einer leichten Modifikation (die abstehenden Ohren des Sitzpolsters unten abgeschnitten und aus einem die Kopfstütze gemacht) für die Mk.43 verwendet. Sehr empfehlenswert. 🙂
Wasn’t it time for TUI to finally not complain again? It’s the same here!
Here, too, DF HeloStuff has once again surpassed itself. Excellent quality and details compared to the original. For my first Mk.41 it was too late, but I used the seat with a slight modification (cut off the protruding ears of the seat cushion at the bottom and made the headrest from one) for the Mk.43. Highly recommended. 🙂

Bernhard SchrockI've always been curious. Therefore, I was curious on the comparison between the MRH of JS and Reskit.
The parts are printed in a very stable cages, which provides good protection during transport. It is important to take your time when separating the parts.
The absolute highlight is the printed hydraulic and electrical lines. Absolutely filigree and authentic. At first glance, it seems to be a challenge to keep the lines undamaged until the final assembly. In my case this was not a problem, as the material was not completely cured (very good). So everything could be processed very well.
All 5 different types of blade joints are designed correctly.
The division of the parts is slightly different than with JS. There are fewer number of parts, the assembly is easier and faster. However, this product does not offer the flexibility of JS, f.e. installing the blades with angle of attack (flight position).
I like the building instructions and the small sheet with the colored symbols for the individual joints very good.
The only suggestion for improvement is the connection flanges for the blades. The star-shaped flange with the ten screws is only half modeled.
The blade is very easy to attach, but you can immediately see the difference between the two half's of the star / flange: excellent detailed half of RK and the half of the kit without details.
Summa summarum: very highly recommended.

Bernhard SchrockIt was only a consistent step to adapt the existing set for the original version of the Seaking for the KWS version. New is the console, with the modernized controls for the new equipment (e.o. 2 Seasprite Antennas) and new upholstery with "ears".
Here, too, 3D decals in excellent quality are included for the consoles. Also with this set, the operating instructions are printed in color and leave no questions unanswered.
Highly recommended.
Since the edition is limited to 50 pieces, one should not hesitate: having is better than needing 🙂
Es war nur ein konsequenter Schritt, das bestehende Set für die Ursprungsversion der Seaking für die KWS Version anzupassen. Neu ist die Konsole, mit den modernisierten Bedienelementen für die neue Ausstattung (u. 2 Seasprite Antennen) und neue Polster mit Ohren.
Auch hier liegen für die Konsolen 3D-Decals in hervorragender Qualität bei. Auch bei diesem Set ist die Bedienungsanleitung farbig gedruckt und lässt keine Fragen offen.
Sehr empfehlenswert.
Da die Auflage auf 50 Stück limitiert ist sollte man nicht zögern: haben ist besser als brauchen 🙂

Bernhard SchrockFrom time to time you are lucky as a model builder. So also in this case: the idea for a next project was not yet quite pronounced and I just learned that Vingtor Decals wants to put his long sold-out sheet with the number 48 - 129A for a Norwegian Mk.43 again.
It arrived today and I'm thrilled!
You can immediately see that Nils Mathisrud (responsible for the artwork) designed the sheet „through the eyes" of the modeler.
The Norwegian national badges are available twice: once red and blue printed together and additionally consisting of two separate elements (blue and red separated). This offers the modeler the opportunity to realize did national badges absolutely free of offset. That would not be necessary with this sheet, because the print (BOA, Chech Republic) is absolutely excellent and without any offset.
Examples are also the size information in millimeters (original) for the black lettering: 300 mm, 280 mm, 250 mm, 200 mm! This approach is unparalleled.
Finally, Nils has reproduced all maintenance hints excellently and legably. He also thought about this point: black / red and black / white elements are present twice: once all colors together and additionally all colors separated. Here, too, the modeler can work very exactly.
I'm looking forward to the project and processing these decals. Thank you Vingtor Decals and Nils Mathisrud. 🙂🙂.

Bernhard SchrockExactly 4 months ago my Mk-41 was finished, at least the fuselage. That's how long I've been waiting for Jam Screw's main rotor head. Since yesterday, waiting is now history.
Was it worth the wait, you'll ask? Definitely yes! Considering the content of the 2 boxes, I would have waited another four months!
It is a masterpiece of 3D construction. The depth of detail is unsurpassed and in my opinion cannot be surpassed! As already described in the unboxing of the landing gear, the „preparation" of the 3D model for 3D printing is also an art in itself. This feat JS has masterfully solved.
The „support pillars" are numerous, but so cleverly placed and so fine that it is no problem to prepare the part. There are also no pimples on the surface.
To warm up, I separated the „red", „black" joints, swash plate and lower part of the stern and only took about 20 minutes.
The instructions are exemplary and include more than dozen steps on 6 pages. Absolutely remarkable is the fact that the differences in the three types of blade joints were taken into account with absolute precision.
Will be continued…
🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

Bernhard Schrock AuthorAs promised the first update.
Take your time to separate the parts and handle them. Everything is very filigree.
As described in the instructions, the 2 x 5 holes in the 2 stars (parts #D and #E) must be carefully adjusted to the diameter of the pins of the parts #K. Here I first used 1.15 mm and finally 1.20 mm drills. Everything holds so together without glue and the 5 parts #K can be aligned. I recommend combining the axle (Part #A) with a brass tube with about 2.15-2.2 mm diameter.
At this point a supplement: there are not three different joints but five! Although I have already built two Sea kings, I was not aware of it: with joints on one side, the hinges have different angles. Will be continued. 🙂

Bernhard SchrockToday I took a very close look at the MRH I bought a few months ago and compared it with original photos.
At first glance, the product looks good. Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed because I immediately discovered an error: the „red" blade, which points backwards when folding, has no hydraulics and no mechanics in the original. At BAM it is designed in the same way as the „white" and the „black" blade (left side when folding). After removing the surplus components (correcture), the blade joint looks very far from the original 🙁. Correcting is very difficult because the material is very brittle.🙁
I also miss the „boom" on the top side, to which the main E-cable and three hydraulic lines are attached. Furthermore, I miss on the side opposite the pitch link arm with „white", „black", „blue" and „yellow" blades a important hydraulic component (control cylinder unit) to which four lines (1 x E and 3 x hydraulics) are attached.
Conclusion:
Detailing is better compared to the kit, but unfortunately with some errors.
I will definitely not use it.

Bernhard SchrockIt took me a whole 4 years to realize that this product exists. And another two years until I really hold it in my hands. I am thrilled even though it is 1:35 for the scale. All elements are still small and fine enough to be used in airplanes and helicopters in 1:48. Spark plugs or as a plugs for hydraulic hoses and other electrics. 🙂🙂🙂

Bernhard Schrock AuthorI have read the instructions again carefully: IMO the idea of curing the parts in sunlight by the modeler himself is absolutely brilliant! How often I have parts broken off during separating the components despite the greatest effort and caution.
HeloStuff think along!
