Jan They are designed like wave guides to help reduce the ships RCS. Their is a fourth rib on top of the bridge structure - but by their positioning, it appears that they might be related to the Seawolf guidance radars, they might be radar absorbent material placed so as to reduce reflections from the superstructure that would otherwise interfere with tracking targets.

RGL Posted February 19, 2021 Author #170 Posted February 19, 2021 So the kit comes with a Lynx helicopter and the upgrade has some nice upgrade bits. I wanted to try some other options so got a Merlin set and PE for it. Bad news is it is WAY out of scale and does not fit in the hangar. So be it. mtaylor, popeye the sailor, lmagna and 4 others 5 2 Quote Greg
Egilman Posted February 19, 2021 #171 Posted February 19, 2021 Brother, Trumpeter does do a 1/350 Merlin.... 1/350 AW-101 Merlin/EH-101 (3 aircrafts) (if you happen to like BNAModelworld, it's available on evil bay and several other sources as well as well) The more modern aircraft does look better IMHO......

It's amazing on what eventually becomes usable over time.... Does anyone make an accurate one?

There is another option.... https://us.airfix.com/products/type-45-destroyer-a12203 It has a Merlin with it, and from this article on Brit Modeler it's in scale....

lmagna Posted February 19, 2021 #176 Posted February 19, 2021 (edited) Shapeways claims this one is 1/350th scale: https://www.shapeways.com/product/Y4N29CSSC/agustawestland-eh101-merlin?optionId=157812213&li=marketplace They show it as being available in a number of scales but say the 1/350 version is 1:350: 5.5 x 1.4 x 1.6 cm. They say they also have a 1/285 scale at 6.8 x 1.7 x 2 cm, this could be what you already have in your Trumpeter set. They also offer a smaller 1/400 at 4.8 x 1.2 x 1.4 cm. At that scale you get two helicopters. The maker offers all sorts of aircraft in what seems to be almost all scales.
