ROYAL AIR FORCE

WESTLAND

WESSEX

The Westland Wessex is a British

turbine powered version of the

American Sikorsky S-58. In 1956

Westland Helicopters received a

HSS-1 as a pattern for license

manufacturing the helicopter for the

Royal Navy as a submarine hunter.

The helicopters entered service in 1958 and were designated

HAS 1 and HAS 3. The Royal Air Force showed interest as well

and took delivery of their version, the HC-2 in early 1962. Later

followed the versions HCC 4 and HU Mk 5. The British helicopters

were powered by a Rolls Royce Gnome turbine and had a long

and distinguished service career. They even saw combat action

in the South Atlantic. In all 378 aircraft were built. Australia was

the sole export customer to the type. The last one was retired in

2003.

Italeri released the kit late in 2012. There are not an awful lot of

models around from this remarkable helicopter and the news of

a quaterscale release of this kit even added to the excitement. It

quickly became the talk of the ‘town’ We decided to take a closer

look!

You get a box filled with light grey plastic. Even though the model

has relatively large proportions, there is not a frightening amount

of sprues to meet the eye on opening the box. Surface detail is

good, the fit we will have to talk about. There is a large, colourful,

well-printed and comprehensive decal sheet, a little etched fret

and some netting. It is only possible to build one version in one

configuration. Markings are provided for three Royal Navy helos

and for one Royal Air Force machine.
