Brengun 1/144 Mark I Westland Wessex HAS.1/31A Photoetch
By Matt Bittner
The Mark I 1/144 Westland Wessex helicopters are really nice models. Now you can enhance at least one variant with this photoetch set from Brengun for the HAS.1/31A.
When Mark I decided to create their own line of injected plastic kits they decided to go with the Westland Wessex series of helicopters. So far they have released six boxings of the Wessex, all different variants. For their first foray into aftermarket for the Wessex Brengun has chosen the HAS.3/31A.
For the interior the Brengun set contains sides and belts for the seats; an instrument panel; and other details to add to the cockpit tub/console and top of the cockpit under the main canopy. On the outside Brengun provides a winch; wiper blades; a "grill" for the nose of the HAS.1; and other various antennas. Finally there are additions to the main rotor hub, tail rotor hub and an oleo-type strut for the tail wheel.
If you have the HAS.1/31A version of the Mark I 1/144 Westland Wessex this is an excellent set to add to it. I'm hoping it will work with my HAS.3/31B so I'll have to do a little bit of research to be sure.
I definitely send my "thanks" to Brengun for sending this to review.
