1/72 Westland Wessex HC.2 tail folding joint mechanism recommended for Airfix
Aires Quickboost 1/72 Westland Wessex HC.2 Tail Folding Joint Mechanism is a resin accessory designed for Airfix kit, which replaces the basic joint tail folding mechanism with a finer, more accurately shaped and more realistic design.
The Westland Wessex HC.2, the British Army's basic transport helicopter since the 1960s, has been widely used in both land and sea conditions. For operation in confined spaces, particularly on ships or in hangars, it was fitted with a folding tail mechanism. This design element is often simplified in kits, yet it is a distinctive detail that gives the model its characteristic appearance.
The 1/72nd scale Aires Quickboost Tail Folding Joint Mechanism features precision-cast resin parts with realistic proportions that faithfully capture the actual joint system used on the Wessex. The set is designed specifically for the Airfix kit, ensuring easy installation and accurate fit without the need for modification. This addition will greatly enhance the technical appearance of the tail section and add a higher level of authenticity to the model, especially when displaying the folded configuration.
The ideal choice for modelers who want to add detail to their Wessex HC.2 build that faithfully approximates the actual operational capabilities of the helicopter.
