As part of my plan to build a small (1/700) scale 'Atlantic Conveyor' I need some aircraft for the deck cargo, and Thorvic pointed me at a Tsukuda (or however you spell it...) 1/700 set of Sea Kings and SHARS on ebay, but it just went for $41!!!!

Thanks for the pointer Geoff, but some guys have more money than me I guess.

But it looks like one of those sets would work a treat, so does anyone have one to sell/trade perhaps?
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

Thorvic

The 1/700 Invincible Class kits all have 4 Shars & 2 Sea kings (boxed by Revell or Dragon) also has the standard pitroad NATO weapons sprue.

The Fujimi Ark Royal & Eagle kits have Wessez HAS1 along with other aircraft (prop stuff !) and thats available seperately.

Pitroads current Modern Weapons sprue has the Chinook on it and i think their world helicopters set also has Chinook.

White Ensign Models do the Airstrike line in 1/700 that should have all that you need and they also stock most of the stuff listed above.

Excellent, thanks Geoff, what a mine of information you are.  :lol:

I have one of the Dragon Invincible Class already, and it has a weird mixture of SHARs and GR9s, hardly realistic, but handy for me. I'll get in touch with White Ensign, they're a goo bunch and did me some 1/144 PE railings and ladders for my big Atlantic Conveyor.

I have had limited dealings with WEM and found the staff very knowledgeable and extremely helpful..........good luck with your enquiry

The order is in.  ;D

When I gave him my list of 14 SHARs, 4 Wokkas and 6 Wessex, the guy said 'Are you doing the Atlantic Conveyor'?  <_< :lol:

I have recently aqquired some 1/1250 Lightnings which I am planning to cast some more from.  When I can get the appropriate moulding and casting material, would you be interested in some of these as Sea Lightnings?

Thanks for the offer Mr Jester sir, but they'd be too small for my model and the wrong era as well.
