I'm with Paul on this one, that blue on blue always looks great.
Does anyone know if the aircraft depicted is part of the 8th SQN, Black Panthers, JASDF?
Cheers

If you do a reverse image search (not overly successful as initially it says it's a "Learjet 35") that frame appears to be from this video (at about the 1.00 mark) :

and all it says is "U-125A "Offshore camouflage" Air Rescue Wing at Komatsu Air Base" so don't know if that is helpful or not.

Thanks Rob for that link.
That Blue styled camo scheme is also employed by the 8th Tactical Fighter Wing JASDF on their F-16's, F4 Phantoms and others.
Usually the Air Rescue Wings have broad swathes of Fluro Orange plastered all over them. Still the one shown is the best scheme I've see on any of these birds.

And it's carrying stores on wing hard-points!!....now that's a War Hawker.
Last biz-jet I saw doing that was a Chilean Navy Falcon 20 carrying a couple of Exocets

Good news! Airfix is going to release the HS 125 again.

[F-27pax]

Do we know whether it's the same old molds or something a bit better?

[TheChronicOne]

Re-pop. They're also re-releasing the Jetstream, among others. I wish it were new tool or even updated but it should hopefully drive the prices down and having fresh transfers is always a plus.

Now if Revell would just re-pop the Matchbox HS-125, (as they did with the Twin Otter), that would be sweeeeet.
