That's a really neat trio Martin. Well done mate

Very nice Martin, the Cormorant is way overlooked IMO

[DogfighterZen]

Merlins look great!

No the Petrel is the really over looked one

I agree and I'd make a comment there Geoff but it'd get political ----

I wouldnt be supprised if either Geoff or Myself have a crack at the Petrel at some point.

All three; stunning builds!

It's my understanding that a Petrel is just a Merlin, maybe with some Canadian avionics thrown in ---

[Martin H]

Well that would make it an easy repaint job  then

Yet another Merlin! Almost there with this one.

Well the JMSDF do use Merlins, all be it ones with ramps (CH101 and MH101)
This is the SH101..............

I like it. 
Mind you it needs wings.

OK so what do the characters on the tail say ?

Does look neat Martin, although I tend to agree with Jim

I believe it "Japanese Maritime Self Defence Force"
Here it is finished at today's Bolton show


Any way. Another egg beater to show off.

RAF Seaking HCC-3. of 72sqn based in Cyprus as the personal mount of the Air Officer Commanding, Near East.
Fujimi HAR-3 kit with all they window options opened up, plus an extra one added for good measure. It has a full airliner seat set up inside, courtesy of a donated scrap Airfix Shorts Skyvan. (Cheers Joe).
This was meant to be a UK version of Marine One in a way. In this case it would be Kittyhawk one if it was carrying HMQ. I chickened out of trying the Royal flight scheme. So went for an AOC's personal ride. It will also be gaining drop tanks in due course

Cheers for the explanation mate  ....although I should have guessed 

Nice pair
