Nice find Joe. That's the earlier configuration, before the fitting of the larger air intake filters which, from memory, were added after a serious FOD incident some years back, along with other mods and up-dates.
Here's a couple of pics taken at Duxford in September 2013, showing the current appearance. The chopper had arrived and positioned for a display later in the day, then was called out on a 'shout' and had to make a rapid departure, whilst the 'Flight Line Walk' was still open, hence the people in the second shot.

Air filters/ sand box were fitted on Westland seakings in the mid 90's during life of time extension program

For these prices I'd sit back and wait for a re-release, one will come out eventually.

Just out of curiosity, I've calculated the price in Iranian Rial ...

As for today:

1 £ = 496610 IRR .

So, 220 X 496610 = 109254200 IRR

Eh ... That's beyond too much expensive!!!
