Lovely! If I didn't know better I'd say it was a VTOL Naval patrol/observation/air-sea-rescue/EW type, with front compressor air deflectors in those big boxy intakes and rear swivelling nozzles. Basically a helicopter for the New Millennium.

Or no VTOL capability but swing wings for carrier use ?

Hahahaha!! That is glorious!! I love it.

That looks a bit like a piston engined Meteor PR19.

Pretty cool, man!! Looks to me like an angry stinging insect flying about. Or, perhaps.... a Hummingbird!

(cheap second hand kits are always so tempting, and then you have to do something with them)
