1/48 Osprey VAR.4a. VAR = Vertical Air Rescue. 4a because the Sea King was 3a.

Very cool ! And makes so much sense the Royal Canadian Navy started using them back in 2013 lol

Love this one, I have a couple of Takara's 1/144th scale ones, a simple overall EDSG one, this is a much better idea!

I'm not a fan of the Osprey but this one looks tremendous in the scheme. Brilliant  :bow:

I'll have to look into those. No idea they were around in 144 scale !

I got them as Gashapon, so prebuilt the first thing you need to do is take them apart! I think I got them on a Tokyo trip (a long time ago) along with a bunch of other helos.
