- Introducing the newly tooled 1:48 Westland Sea King HAS.1/HAS.5/HU.5, the most complete Sea King kit ever released with 348 pieces.
With its captivating narrative, this kit portrays the evolution of a single aircraft, from its inaugural flight to its current livery, rendering it truly one-of-a-kind.
The newly designed Westland Sea King boasts an intricately detailed exterior, featuring a fully riveted external skin and overlapping panels. Its interior is equally detailed, showcasing raised cockpit elements and instrument surfaces, and three distinct cabin configurations tailored to each scheme.

Just the boxart would be priceless.

1/48 sepecat Jaguar next please!!🤩🙏
Nice one lads - love the enthusiasm for the kit amongst the team and also the concept of following one airframe through its life. I hope it sells well 👍👍👍
I like how the video for a predominately Royal Navy Model starts with a phrase that has its derivation from the RN… referring to the ‘Cat o’nine tails’ a flogger for punishing sailors back in the day. When it came out of its storage bag it would be know as ‘letting the cat out of the bag’.
100% I’ll be building this having spent a lot of time in Sea Kings!
Yet shows us a *Royal Air Force version* (not included in the kit) landing....
As a cornishman who lives a few hundred yards from Culdrose this is my dream kit. I can die a happy and content man now this kit is released an I can build it. I'm honestly considering buying four to build every option in the box, which I've never done before
Bravo Airfix… really nice looking details and love the schemes. Now that’s another kit on the wish list to buy.
…. But please please please we NEED a new tooled SEPECAT Jaguar, preferably in 1/48 scale. The Jag has been very poorly represented in kit form. So please get to it. 👍👍👍🤓
What an entrance! 👍
Great video, and a brilliant looking new kit; I like the concept of the history of one particular airframe.... 🙂
Definite pre-order here... 😉👍
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching 🙂
It is a brilliant idea to follow an air-frame through the years. Thank you Airfix.
It must be the HMS Warrior I have been asking them for for 8 years 😬😬🙏🏻
One of my all time favourite aircraft. I am genuinely looking forward to this kit. The professional builds look amazing.
I thought you did a great job on this - informative, educational. I doubt if your designers/researchers 'Signed up' specifically to do 'Presenter/To camera' work, but they came across as natural and their enthusiasm shone through. I'm from the days of spending pocket money on 'Red Stripe Header Bags at the local Ironmongers! 😂 You've come a long way, Airfix - Bravo! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you Jim, we love our designers and we are so happy they had the chance to share their knowledge and experience on the development of the Sea King :)
The Sea King was put together using dome head rivets. So why is the model covered in perforations?
This team is so dedicated and passionate! I will get all the schemes one day. Thank you guys for improving Airfix so much!
A Hampden in 1/48 would be a dream come true !
Yep ... I'll go with that :)
Yesohrooney!!!
1/24 scale harrier gr9 would be nice, but a retooled p.1127 and GR5 would be HIGHLY appreciated. Would also love to see a hawker kestrel done.
Yup, i've been requesting a GR5/7/9 for many many years. then the after market companies would be in overdrive. imagine the possibilities T10, all AV-8B's
Hello from Cape Town South Africa - I'm a former Ops manager of the table bay CHC helicopters just before they closed shop and left SA. I absolutely adored the S-61n so this kit is super news for me. I just hope I can get one plus some extra bits to build my favourite machine ZS- RFU in the rounded CHC livery of the time. Epic video by the way, love that intro!
A great video and the kit looks like a winner. Well done Airfix
Great work Airfix! It's been really wonderful seeing this company going from what were quite mediocre kits, to some really fine gems. Just goes to show how the right kind of attitude can really make a difference. Just give us good quality qits that are well researched, not overly complicated to assemble, and we'll reward you with great sales. Seeing the enthusiasm of your employees also cannot go unnoticed and it also makes us very happy to know that real modelers were included in the development of this kit. I will be buying a few, definitely. Now, if I can suggest a Wessex, or a Phantom FG.1/FGR.2 in 1/48... :)
An RAF Wessex first please - oh, and a Puma, then a Chinook HC1, and a Whirlwind, and a Sycamore, and a Belvedere... Army Scout? Too much?
Puma definitely needed , and long overdue for a new Scout / Wasp
Like a 1/24th scale Fairy Firefly.
Fantabulous promo film, well done Airfix.
Bravo Airfix. I love that you followed the airframe.
I did NOT see this one coming, nice one all you at Airfix! 👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻😎
I didn't realise that I needed one, but....😉😆😂🥰😍😎
Fantastic, that's going to be a winner! Thank you Airfix!
That is a lovely kit Airfix and you took me by surprise with this one 😀
Great unveiling as well as I have a soft spot for Historic Helicopters 👍
That looks great , love the lineup if the four varient schemes
What a really great video! The enthusiasm and pride in your beautiful kit shines through! I will enjoy this kit all the more knowing how much work and love went into it. Thanks, guys!
Nice one Airfix, good delivery all round - looking forward to this build!
Now that is how you do a new kit reveal. Love it.
What a informative production for a new kit release! Looks like you guys have a winner here! Well done!
Fantastic news, Airfix! I am excited and cannot wait! 👍
Wow! What a wonderful model. I'm waiting to have it! Congrats!
I'm very much looking forward to building this amazing looking kit!
I recently built the 72nd scale Sea King and enjoyed that, and I like the idea of showing the evolution of one particular aircraft over the years. Might have to buy more than one of these!
God they going to twist my arm AGAIN to buy something. This'll be the fourth time in a month 🙄😉😉🤣
What a lovely and unique idea - following a single aircraft through its beginning to its current life, over 50 years of the airframe.
Love the King. Have built all the 1/72 variants. This is a must have for me.
It looks great, however the moulding detail looks far too heavy especially after comparison with the real thing immediately before.
Is it not possible to make rivets and panel lines scale accurate ? or is this not possible with the moulding process/ material choice.
Sorry to say it ( love airfix), but others do it better, especially in 1/48 scale.
Outstanding video chaps. Very well done.
Thank you kindly!
Looks sensational, "Boy's Own" stuff to develop that, no doubt. Westland Wasp and Wessex next, please!
Looking forward to this one. I love the single machine theme, especially the Portland one, which lives nearby to me. I wondered why you didn't do a yellow ASR but now I know why.
I'm fortunate to live by Culdrose in Cornwall so had years of seeing and hearing these aircraft almost daily. Lots of locals were sad when they ceased operation.
a fab release this....always loved the seakings and in 1/48 scale thats my fav scale....i did buy the rescue version airfix 1/72 one...was so surprised to see this release...top stuff
Yep, that's exactly what I thought you'd be announcing. Looks great
Thank you Airfix. More Helicopters would be greatly appreciated. The H-2 Seasprite in 1:48 and retool the 1:72. Anyway outstanding news.
Brilliant! Another British icon from a British icon.
A 22 Squadron set of transfers would have been great too - as I've been flown in the one you see in this video, and 22 Sqn did great work in its rescue role, and finally featured a a certain high profile pilot. Well done to all who kept their lips sealed about this wonderful surprise.
It's the dead queen of course. She's dead and airfix dug her up and molded her to make a 1/1 scale queen.
What.??????..Fantastic news and really had to be done by Airfix..Well here another for the pre-order gonna be ordered..(Can’t wait already for my Gannet and Ferret)..Well done Airfix.!.🇬🇧👍
Fingers crossed for a 48th scale Vulcan? :P
If the 1/72 wasn't big enough 😂
@@keyboard_monkey5945 i've got one in 1/33rd scale
I'm really excited to see this. I've been waiting patiently for a new-tooled helicopter from Airfix. Personally, I prefer helicopters over fixed wing because they offer a greater challenge in terms of assembly and weathering. I hope Airfix continues to offer more 1/48 helicopters. Just imagine having a Wessex sitting next to one of these Sea Kings ;-)
So glad you guys are doing this release format now. And what a beauty to do 666(daemon) is a legend. Please do a mk4 for the jungles and maybe a merlin mk1/2.
Very nice video! Awesome job lads! 🤩
Glad you enjoyed it!
superb keep them coming
Looks great! I hope someone comes out with the iconic SAR Golden Yellow scheme, although the included schemes are very impressive! I immediately ordered two following he surprise announcement!
Congratulations ❤to you wonderful people from Airfix.
What a fantastic surprise. We needed a new 1/48 Sea King, such a cool helicopter with so much history, in so many Countries.
The presentation was also a nice surprise.
I think you will be starting a lot of helicopter builds😄
Thank You👍
Ooh. Exciting. 😊
It's a 1/24th scale Folland Gnat in Yellow Jack colours.
4 schemes and not one based in Scotland thanks Airfix!!
Great news, just today I had make a preorder from Hannants! Compliments guys!!!
DAMIAN! I got to work on that one in Depth Maintenance, I then got to work on it again when I joined 771 NAS.
I’ll be getting getting one of these!
It's an updated series of figures, made out of a plastic that you can actually use glue on... and which doesn't cause paint to crack and flake off when it's bent!!! Woo hoo!! About time!
haha
One may always hope
Hi buddy,have you tried the Vallejo Mecha range for wargaming. Made more durable for model/ figures being handled for gaming purposes. Obviously bending will still be the problem but might survive better.
Top marks to your marketing team - great presentation. In fact top marks all round. Not many people predicted a Sea King but they’ll buy it anyway based on this launch and the recent track record of fantastic quality new kits.
Passion, dedication and quality oozing from Airfix!
🤣🤣🤣
Well done @OfficialAirfix can’t wait to build this. Love the idea behind the 4 schemes, very unique. I am already excited about future boxings, maybe a Royal Australian Navy Mk.50A/B?
Congratulations that's a winner
Well done! 👏
Great stuff Airfix put me down for one or two 😂.
You teased us arriving in aRAF yellow version and then gave us 4 navy ones 😢
@airfix Why didn't you include the iconic RAF yellow version?
There are several subtle differences between this and the HAR 3, including some of the antennas and the position of the refuelling port by the sliding cargo door (one underneath the door, other on the trailing edge). The antennas would be an easy fix, the refuelling port would probably require a new starboard fuselage half.
Yeeeeees I'm so excited about this one!
@OfficialAirfix top job 👍wasn’t expecting this 😮. Quick question any plans to do the Puma HC2 before it retires…..1/48 👍
A 1/24 Mk.VIII Spitfire will split the room! Saying that, I'd buy one! Alternatively 1/350 HMS Queen Elizabeth would be nice too!
1/350 HMS QE would be awesome
1/35 Humber Mk1 (Pig) for all of us ex 'Banner' squaddies?
Ok, well that's quite exciting. I was expecting yet another warbird that I only have a passing interest in, but the Seaking is one of my favourites and with the civil scheme as well, this is a no-brainer.
i will buy it as soon as possible..... looks awsome
Very nice model airfix!!❤ the next will be the westland puma 1/48!!
What a great intro for a new kit. How'd you pull that off? Brilliant!
Hurricane Mk.II in 1:24 scale?
Awesome helicopter! I wish could sit in one
Please let it not be another bloody Spitfire or Mustang!
Can´t wait for that one! :)
th-cam.com/video/rDWeMPMP2uo/w-d-xo.html
A 1/48 scale Corsair or Barracuda would be a treat or a return of the whirlwind fighter,
Corsair in jet form would be nice. I just love that chin. Like a younger brother of the Tempest
Flory Models will be liking this 😊
Now's a good time to bring out some 1/48 helicopter aircrew, which could be used for the Merlin and Lynx too.
48th FGR1 or 2 and that's Airfix financially sound for the next 20 years or so 😃😃🤞🤞👍👍
Wow, very very nice
What a fantastic new kit. Been watching Hornby on BBC Brit (?) and was amazed at what goes into the design of a new kit. Is it inappropriate to ask for a definitive 1/48 Aerospatiale Puma at this time? With SAAF decals included? LOL!
Bring it on!
Has anyone got any info on the air intakes on the SAR scheme C, as this was based where i live and i remember seeing this with the rectangular grilled intake as apposed to the one shown, was this a later upgrade or something like that???
This is great news👍
Scheme A is an absolute beaut
New tooled DH88 Comet....unlikely but we live in hope.
About time a new sea king kit came along. The burning question for me though is how long after release are we likely to see the RAF HAR 3 version?
Is the search and rescue version you flew in on one of the schemes???
Would still love to see a 1/24 me262
I’m going to have to buy a new role of raffle tickets, so I can tell my wife ‘look what I just won at the monthly RBL raffle, yet again’. I ran out after the new Sea Fury 🤣🤣
superb
Such a great opening shot of the Canary, does anyone know if there is an aftermarket kit for this version ? I was statioined in the Sinals training dept in Leconfield, and our portacabins (oh we were posh in the 90's) were right at the side of these, and seeing them everyday was a thrill even back then. I would love to be able to recreate one with this kit.
I won't settle or anything less than a new tool 1/72 SEPECAT Jaguar GR1/3, with a CLEAR PART for the LASER nose window. Don't let Italeri have my money.
Was hoping for HMS QE but this will do, but why the recessed rivets when the 1:1 has raised rivets?
Clever intro. Been waiting for a new sea king. How about a s-55 next?
😊definitely want an A and C scheme. Another one off my wish list. You done a blinding job on the 1/72 so this should be a Cracker. Be nice to hace 1/72 1/48 and a 1/24.🤔😉 1/24 Scout next
Well done Team, a fantastic Premier and announcement 😀
