I think it looks very nice but perhaps a tad ostentatious for this side of the Pond. Here's a photo of the Queen's brand new helicopter for comparison. http://www.airliners.net/photo/Sikorsky-S-76C/1603719/L/

Thanks Doug.
That is the feedback I was looking for. I did not think of looking for a picture of the chopper. I read where she was looking for a new jet, but did not see a mention of her getting it yet. And you are correct in your assessment. That chopper is gorgeous, yet refined. I will attempt to create the same.

Hope I was some help. I look forward to seeing what you come up with. That helicopter belongs to the Queen's Helicopter Flight which is part of the Royal Household. I wasn't sure if the tilt-rotor is classed as a helicopter or fixed-wing type.

The Queen no longer has a private jet. A little more info copied from Wikipedia: On 1 April 1995 The Queen's Flight was merged into No. 32 Squadron RAF to become No. 32 (The Royal) Squadron. Its BAe 146s and two Westland Wessex HCC.4 helicopters moved from Benson to 32 Squadron's base at RAF Northolt. This ended the RAF's provision of dedicated VIP transport aircraft; the aircraft of 32 Squadron are only available to VIP passengers if not needed for military operations.

These photos show the current livery of No 32 Squadron aircraft.

I'm not sure how it's classified either, but as to flight characteristics, it has both. In any event, the repaint is strictly fictional and I have redone it similar to the first picture you posted. I was just about to post when I noticed an update to this thread. I do appreciate the help.
