About product

Cast cockpit seats for the Sea King in 1:48

This set from Aires replaces the seats of both pilots on models of the Westland Sea King helicopter in the HAR Mk.3, Mk.5 and AEW Mk.2A versions in 1:48 scale. The package holds resin castings; the helicopter kit and the paints do not belong with them.

What it does for a build

The cockpit of a large helicopter is visible through the side windows and through the glazing above the crew's heads, and an empty seat out of the box brings that space down noticeably. A casting can render the frame, the upholstery and the cushions in a way an injection-molded part with a parting line never will. Because the seats sit right behind the glass, this upgrade is worth more than details hidden deep inside the fuselage.

The Sea King in service

The British Sea King was built by Westland under license from the American pattern and adapted for domestic needs. The HAR Mk.3 form flew with the Royal Air Force as a search and rescue machine, the Mk.5 version carried out related duties with the Navy, and the AEW Mk.2A was a conversion for radar picket duty over a naval force; its mark is a swiveling radome on the side of the fuselage. All three forms shared the same layout of the forward cabin, which is why the set covers the whole trio at once.

Before you seat the castings

  • wash them in warm water with dish soap and let them dry thoroughly
  • sand the casting remains off and level the surface with a file
  • prime with a thin coat, otherwise the paint will not hold on smooth resin
  • try the fit in the cabin dry before you reach for the glue

FAQ

The set is meant for both forward positions in the cabin, that is for the pilot and the co-pilot.

Count on sanding the original mounts away and on a dry fit; resin is fine-tuned by hand.

Ordinary modeling paints after priming; the covers come out well after a light dark wash.
