Westland Sea King HU Mk5
Ah yes the Mighty King! If it’s good we’ll buy it from the Americans, if it’s exceedingly good we’ll licence build it as is the case with the Sea King! The versatile ‘King’ had a wide range of roles in HM forces ranging from SAR and AEW, to ferrying steely-eyed dealers of death to and from operations - finally ending service last year.
The Sea King used to be a relatively common sight and if you ever twisted a sock out and about in the Cairngorms or any other inaccessible place (until last year) you may have seen this particular variant.

Well goggles on chaps, keep that hand on the collective!
I’m not going to lie, that landing below took me many, many attempts. Credit and hats off to any whirly bird drivers out there!

Right. Ok! @enzoBoeing757
i have this model in 1:72 scale from airfix
It’s my pleasure :) contributions from (and conversations with) builders like you are what make SP and the SP community so incredibly awesome, so thank you to you as well! @Tang0five
Thank you very much @Hyattorama and for the spotlight, you’re most kind!
Great work, I love it!
Thanks for bringing up the half century @PhilipTarpley - not too sure I’ve had a dev stop by before!
There’s a gyro, did you try yawing or mixing up the controls at bit? @donald347
The tail needs more drag. The aircraft doesn't want to turn when tilted at cruise- it just slips/skids making it very difficult to stay in trim flight.
Why don’t you just add a third engine to the 134 I did a while back and your halfway there? @THEAIRCRAFTCRAFTER
@Tang0five hm....If you have time,built a mobile friendly Tu-154 please ! My favorite plane !
It was the first thing I noticed, laddie! @Tang0five
Thanks old boy thought you might like the ‘nose art’ :) @GhostHTX
Thank you for your kind words once more! @Trainzo
@Tang0five damn, sorry
I couldn’t agree more. @Tang0five
Very nice!
Yep! And np! @Tang0five
Also if you want, you could try making a much smaller helicopter. The Mi-1 would be where I had started @Tang0five
As usual, always beautiful . Very beautiful creation . Great job .
Thanks man, much appreciated! With the latest update maybe we shall see some more! @Strikefighter04
I must admit I do like the ‘King’ @AerialFighterSnakes
Cheers! @mikoyanster
Oh yeah, definitely agree with you there - 9\10 attempts by myself ended up with broken rotors @Simplemike
Thanks @THEAIRCRAFTCRAFTER glad you like this, was there not a TU-4 released quite recently? Not really my kettle of fish I’m afraid and I have a few things I want to finish - plus I don’t build often as don’t have the free time :(
