Front ¾ view of the starboard side showing the large, fixed double winch, two bubble windows, a large square window in the sliding door and some detail on the blade tip colour scheme.

Starboard view of cockpit. Note all the remove before flight flags and the fact that there are static vents on both sides of the aircraft, unlike any of the current (Jan.'03) kits.

View of starboard fuselage. Differences from the Italeri kit are the fixed, double winch, the 'Canadian Forces' stencil and the bubble window.

Rear ¾ view of the starboard. Note the floatation bag on the side of the sponson, not the same as in the kit. The side panel from the RN kit and the lower panel from the RAF kit result in a better CSH sponson. Note also that the IPS exhaust on the No. 3 (stbd) engine is on the inboard side of the main exhaust and that the red stripe across the tailboom has curved leading and trailing edges. 

Rear view showing tailrotor hub detail, fuselage strake contours and the exhaust exit angles.

Rear ¾ view of the port side, showing nicely the fuselage discolouration from the number 2 exhaust. The HF aerial is also different to that supplied in the kit. It is in fact exactly the same as the Mk3 aerial. Note also that there are two bubble windows on this side and, below 'Canada', a slightly smaller square escape window.

Detail of port side fin markings and tailrotor.

Detail of underside of rear of aircraft showing Canadian roundal that does not appear on the kit decal sheet.

Port side fuselage showing the Nite-Sun attachment and a sponson storage bay open.

Port side cockpit detail showing ice accretion gauges just above the smallest window and, port side only, footsteps with hinged covers. 

To complete the walk around a nice port front ¾ view, Showing the twin main wheel undercarriage.

Blade detail showing orientation of blade tie down markings and the yellow tip area. Please note, ALL EH101 blades are green, not black as stated in the instructions. Use the same green as for the fuselage of the Revell RAF Mk3 kit, a 33/67 mix of NATO olive matt (Matt 46) and Bronze Green (Matt 65). 

Rear view of the aircraft, this time with the ramp open. Anyone care to paint all those stripes!? Note the 2 lengths of cable supporting the open ramp.
