About product

Quickboost 1:72 Westland Wessex HC.2 – Seats with Safety Belts (for Airfix)

A resin detail set from Quickboost, made by the Czech firm Aires. This is not a helicopter kit — it is an accessory that replaces the cockpit seats on the Westland Wessex HC.2 model in 1:72 scale from Airfix. The main added value is that the safety belts are cast together with the seat shell: you do not need to work with photo-etched parts, paper strips, or make the belts yourself.

What the accessory is for

The Wessex HC.2 has an extensively glazed cockpit, and the interior is clearly visible once the model is finished. Seats from a plastic kit tend to be thicker for molding reasons and lack attached belts; the resin casting is thinner, has sharper edges and naturally draped belts, which, once painted and lightly weathered, immediately lift the realism of the whole cockpit. Installation is a simple part swap — it requires no cutting into the fuselage or changes to the geometry.

Use and Procedure

  • Wash the castings in lukewarm water with dish soap — this removes residue of the mold release agent, or the paint will not hold.
  • Cut off the casting block with a saw or a thin cutter, and level the surface with sandpaper.
  • Sand the resin wet and with respiratory protection — do not inhale the fine dust.
  • Glue with cyanoacrylate glue; ordinary plastic cement does not work on resin.
  • Apply a primer before painting, and bring out the belts with dry-brushing and a dark wash.

Who the set is for

For modelers building the Wessex HC.2 from Airfix who want a cockpit matching the quality of the rest of the modern tooling, without having to assemble photo-etched belts. Working with resin is easy, but it assumes basic experience with cutting and cyanoacrylate glue — it is not the first choice for a complete beginner.

The accessory is supplied as unpainted resin castings. The base kit, glue, paints and other accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No. This is a resin detail accessory — a set of cockpit seats. The Westland Wessex HC.2 model itself, in 1:72 scale (Airfix), needs to be purchased separately.

With cyanoacrylate glue. Ordinary polystyrene cement does not dissolve resin, so the joint does not hold.

Yes. Wash them with water and dish soap to remove residue of the mold release agent, cut off the casting block and apply a primer. Without a primer, paint bonds poorly to resin.
