The Westland Wessex was a British multi-role helicopter developed from the American Sikorsky H-34/S-58, which served in the British Armed Forces from the early 1960s until the 1990s. The Wessex was used in a variety of roles, from troop and cargo transport to search and rescue missions and anti-submarine warfare. The British version differed from the American version mainly in propulsion (turboshaft engine instead of piston) and a number of other modifications to meet the requirements of the RAF and Royal Navy. The helicopter became a symbol of British Cold War military aviation and was actively used in various conflicts and humanitarian operations.
The Aires/Quickboost 1:48 scale resin kit includes detailed windscreen wiper castings to increase the fidelity of the model and replace simplified or missing parts of the basic kit. The wipers are a typical feature of helicopter cabins and their precise design contributes greatly to the overall impression of the model. The add-on is intended for more advanced modellers with experience of working with resin. The package does not contain the paint or glue needed for assembly.
