Wessex scheme ?

Afternoon all...

2016 I built an Italeri SAR AB-212 and really enjoyed it, mentioned then that I'd like to do a couple more SAR builds (especially since it was my 'day job' for nearly twenty years), I bought a Wessex HU.5 and then put it away until I could decide how I wanted to finish it. Still can't decide but definitely want to build it this year. Got the decals for all of these (yes I know the green one isn't a SAR bird) - so what do you folks think ?? (and why ?)

The "Green Parrot" is attractive but it was an Admiral's Barge and had a VIP interior, if that is something that will bother you.

The RAF helo is an HC.2 I believe. They had smaller cabin windows, no external piping on the left side for an external tank and a slightly different antenna arrangement.

The orange and blue RN rescue scheme is eye catching.

Cheers,
Rich
 
They all look weird to me because of the "Grouper" nose! I like the bottom one best.

(Went to 67Q20 maintenance school on the CH-34)
 
I like the blue and red Navy bird as well. Still, you should do the one that your kit most closely represents.
