Aircraft Information

The Westland Sea King is a British-made version of the Sikorsky S-61/S-3 and is in operation by the RAF, Royal Navy and Royal Marines.

The AEW (Airborne Early Warning) version of the Sea King operates with one pilot and two observers. Due to the inflatable bag containing the Searchwater radar, the AEW helicopters soon obtained the nickname 'bags' and their crews 'baggers or bagmen'

The upgraded Air Surveillance and Control (ASaC.7) version entered service in 2002 and all the AEW.2's were converted by 2004 being used extensively in the Gulf

This product was released on Tuesday 15 June, 2010.

	Manufacturer Information
	Most people have heard of Airfix and a lot of non-modellers only know plastic kits as 'Airfix Kits' (similar to 'Hoover' and vacuum cleaners). Although they had some serious financial troubles last year Airfix have been bought by Hornby who are striving to re-establish the name and create some new models for year. New Releases include the much anticipated Nimrod as well as 4 variants of the Canberra and an assortment of Airfield sets including the RAF and Luftwaffe. Airfix are a good choice for beginners as they make 'starter sets' that contain everything required to complete the model (glues, brushes and paints), This is a much cheaper option than buying everything separately. Quality is not great on most of their kits as tooling tends to be old but again for beginners this is not so much of an issue.
