AgustaWestland AW101 Canada SAR Yellow – New Ray 1:72: Scale, Subject & Display Guide
AgustaWestland AW101 Canada SAR Yellow – New Ray 1:72 deserves its own article because its identity is more specific than the surrounding category.

For this record, F977-25513 is the compact reference that can be checked against invoices and packaging.
Evidence taken from the live record
The source description says: “AgustaWestland AW101 EH101 helicopter in yellow Canadian Forces Search & Rescue graphics from New Ray Sky Pilot. This 1:72 scale diecast helicopter is intended for collector display. Review the listing photos for the exact markings, rotor configuration and packaging. Item: 25513.” This is useful evidence, but it is not expanded beyond what the listing supports. Missing dimensions, materials, compatibility claims or package contents remain open questions.
What matters for this kind of product
For a diecast or scale collectible, the subject name alone is insufficient. Compare body casting, finish, graphics, wheel design, interior, base markings and packaging format. On AgustaWestland AW101 Canada SAR Yellow – New Ray 1:72, the exact photo set and SKU F977-25513 are the reference pair; a model with the same vehicle name but a different wheel, road number or package is a different release.
Condition language must also match the format. A loose item is judged from the photographed surfaces and axles, while a packaged item adds card, blister, box and seal condition. A finished custom should be assessed for workmanship and disclosed modifications; a build kit should be assessed for included parts and fitment rather than as a completed collectible.
Where similar listings differ
A good collection note records what is visible and avoids unsupported rarity claims. Write down the exact color wording, graphics, wheel treatment, package condition and any disclosed customization. Market value can change; the product identity should remain reproducible from the record.
Upon arrival, compare the item with the listing images before opening or altering it. Any material discrepancy is easier to document while the original packaging and shipping materials remain intact.
The photographed item is part of the specification
The photographed item is part of the specification. With 1 image indexed, a buyer can compare color, form, labels, contents and visible condition before relying on a shortened title. Save the image that best shows the identifier F977-25513.
Pre-purchase checklist for this exact record
- Match the full title and F977-25513.
- Confirm the selected variant and displayed quantity.

The collection record worth keeping
Catalog the item under the complete title and F977-25513, then add the date received and the condition actually observed. For a project item, note where it was installed or how it was used. For a collectible, note package and display condition separately.
Retaining the exact identifiers protects the record when product titles or availability later change.
Gift considerations
The exact title makes this a specific rather than universal gift. Confirm that the recipient wants this release, quantity and format; a closely related item may not be interchangeable.

Can a similar title be treated as the same release?
Not without matching F977-25513 and the images. Similar subjects can differ by scale, finish, road number, quantity, interface or packaging.

Keep the receipt, exact URL, SKU, selected option and at least one arrival photograph.

Product-specific handoff notes
Anyone using this guide later should begin with F977-25513 and the full name AgustaWestland AW101 Canada SAR Yellow – New Ray 1:72. The record identifies New Ray as the vendor and Scale Model Helicopters as the product type. Recheck those details whenever the item is compared with another listing, because punctuation or abbreviated names can hide meaningful release differences.
When the item enters a project or collection, note the date, observed condition, included pieces and any fit or setup result. Photograph modifications before and after they are made. These notes should describe this example only. Keeping them attached to the exact SKU preserves a useful history without turning personal experience into an unsupported specification for every similar product.
