Information on CH-101 'Chimo' (Westland-Agusta EH-101)

[Gary]

The Chimo is what Canada would have had replace the aging Seakings back before a certain government cancelled the program. We were to buy the H-101 Merlin for shipboard use with our new ASW ships, the City Class frigates. We spent millions to change the design of the ship to fit the Chimo and then didn't even buy the choppers.  We ended up spending more cancellation fees that we would have if we had bought the aircraft! I'm getting political here so I'll stop now and get to the point.

I know of the Chimo, however I have no reference material in order to build one. I have the very nice Italerie kit but no idea what to put on the thing in the way of Canadian mods or markings. Can anyone help out? Searching the net has provided only one tiny and rather useless image about the size of a postage stamp.
