This is not my first Sea King that I have built but when I found the decals from Sprue Brothers I knew that I wanted to build another one.

My recent Sh-3H  is from the Golden Falcons off the USS Kitty Hawk.  On the decal sheet you have the options of five different aircraft.  I guess why I pick this one was because the Falcons are the only Sea Kings to carry the American flag on them.  I must say that Sprue Brothers did a really nice job on their sheet for their Sea King’s.  The decals went down really well. 

I started out as usual building the cockpit.  The only aftermarket set I did use was an Eduard pe set which is nice because then you can open the side cabin door
