Westland Seaking mk-25, operating in the anti shipping role off the Dutch carrier Karel Doorman (the 4th and only non British built Invincible class VTOL carrier) around 2005. Revell kit with decals robbed from various Lynx UH-14 kits and a Modledecal set. The penguins are from a Hasegawa weapons set. Gunze sanyo and Life color paints all the way on this one.
