Italeri 2744 - 1/48 Wessex HAS.1  [IT-2744S]

The Wessex, in its different variations, ended up being trusted inside 60s and 70s by the British forces. Straight derived from the United states Sikorsky S-58 "Choctaw" it was produced under permit by the British business Westland since the belated '50s. More thoroughly, the Wessex HAS 1, at first produced the Royal Navy, was characterized by significant capabilities in all-weather operations and in a position to be a highly effective anti-submarine platform. When compared with its predecessor, the Westland Whirlind, the Wessex is a decisive improvement with grater offensive load capability and a much better reliability. One of the most significant differences from Sikorsky’s S-58 ended up being the replacement associated with the piston motor powerplant with a cutting-edge – for the age – turboshaft Rolls-Royce Gazelle engine.
