Italeri 2779 Chinook HC.2/CH-47F 1/48 SCALE. Plastic model to assemble. Glue and colors not included. The CH-47 Chinook is an American-made Cold War and modern-day heavy transport helicopter, currently (2019) produced by Boeing Helicopters. The flight of the prototype took place in 1961, and the machine entered service in 1962. The helicopter - in the CH-47F version - has a total length of 30.1 meters and the diameter of its rotors is 18.3 meters. The drive is provided by two Lycoming T55-GA-714A engines of 4733 HP each. Its maximum speed in horizontal flight reaches approximately 315 km/h. The helicopter has a two-rotor - tandem system and lacks a tail boom. Work on the CH-47 Chinook machine began in the late 1950s, when the US Army wanted to replace the CH-37 Mojave helicopter with a completely new machine with a much more modern powerplant and better performance. Finally, a machine was created with an unusual tandem system, but which met the expected requirements. Moreover, as it turned out over time, it also has great potential for modernization. During production, many development versions of this successful transport helicopter were created, among which can be mentioned: CH-47A (the first mass-produced version), CH-47B (version with more powerful engines and a redesigned hull) or CH-47F (version tested in 2001, with significantly modernized avionics, new engine and chassis). The CH-47 Chinook helicopter has gained considerable popularity and, in various versions, has been or is still used by countries such as the United States, Egypt, Greece and Canada.

Bell UH-1 Iroquois (commonly known as the Huey) is an American-made multi-role helicopter of the Cold War and modern times. The prototype flight took place in 1956 and the machine entered service in 1959. The helicopter - in the UH-1D version - has a total length of 17.4 m, and the diameter of its main rotor is 14.6 meters. Drive is provided by a single 1100 HP Lycoming T-53-L-11 engine. Its maximum speed in horizontal flight reaches 220 km/h. The helicopter has a classic layout with a single main rotor and a propeller on the tail boom. Work on the Bell UH-1 machine, commonly known as the Huey, began in the early 1950s when the US Army reported a need for a new transport, medical evacuation (MEDAVAC), and multi-role helicopter. The emphasis is on the simplest and most classic design and high reliability. Bell UH-1 helicopters performed very well during the Vietnam War (1964 / 1965-1975), where they underwent their baptism of fire. Due to their indiscriminate use in this conflict, they have almost become a symbol of this war. Many development versions of this helicopter were made during production, among which we can indicate: UH-1 C (version adapted to accommodate small arms and unguided rockets and with a more powerful engine than the A and B versions) , UH-1D (basic, transport, production version) or UH-1H (an improved D version with a more powerful engine unit). It is worth noting that the UH-1Y Venom version was also created, but due to the number of updates and improvements, it should rather be seen as a separate helicopter model. The Bell UH-1 helicopter has gained enormous popularity and in various versions has been or is still used by countries such as: Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Georgia, Japan, Germany and Italy.

AH-64D APACHE LONGBOW

WESSEX UH.5 ITALERI 1/48

The McDonnell-Douglas (Boeing) AH-64 helicopter was selected as the winner in competition with Bell's YAH-63 in December 1976. The Apache name remained on the helicopter in 1981. This highly efficient machine has four-bladed rotors powered by two General Electric T700-701 turbine engines with a capacity of 1696 HP. The vestigial wings feature conventional trailing edge flaps and a plate tail improves fore-aft steering. The two crewmen take their places one after the other in the armored cabin. The pilot's seat is in the rear and the weapon operator/gunner is in the front. The key to the universal use of the helicopter are the TADS systems on the gunner's position and the PNVS systems used by the pilot. The TADS is a set of laser markers and target tracking rangefinder and a forward facing infrared sensor that is duplicated by regular optics. The PNVS system is a FLIR developed system that allows you to fly a helicopter just above the ground to prevent or delay detection by enemy air defense. Apache helicopters took part in the operation in Panama in 1989, during the Desert Storm in 1991, or the last conflict in Iraq (2003). In late 1990, construction began on a new version of the helicopter, featuring a Martin/Westinghouse Longbow millimeter radar mounted overhead for weapons control. It is used to control Rockwell AGM-114 Hellfire anti-tank missiles. Technical data: Maximum speed: 300 km/h; rate of climb 12.7 m / s, maximum range (without external tanks): 689 km, armament: 30 mm Hughes M230A1 chain gun fixed-1 cannon and outboard armament - most often Hellfire missiles.

The Sikorsky HH-60J "Jayhawk" helicopter was identified by the United States Coast Guard as the natural heir of the HH-3F Pelican for search and rescue missions at sea, coast control and prevention and environmental Protection. The "Jayhawk" is substantially derived from the robust, flexible and extremely reliable airframe of the SH-60 Seahawk widely used by the United States Navy and embarked on all the main units of the fleet. The HH-60J is capable of carrying a crew of 4, with an additional 6 on board. Its range of over 1,300 km makes it ideal both for use from land bases and for use on board the Coast Guard "Cutters". Its propulsion group consists of 2 General Electric T700 turbines of 1,410 kW each which allow the HH-60J to reach 330 km/h and to maintain a cruising speed above 250 km/h.

The Black Hawk is a multi-purpose helicopter used on the front lines by the Army for air assault, sky cavalry, medical rescue and evacuation units. It was designed to carry 11 assault troops to the target, complete with heavy armament, and is also capable of carrying a 105 mm howitzer. complete with 30 bullets. The Black Hawk was first used in 1978, its advanced technology making it easy to maintain in the field. The Black Hawk has performed admirably in numerous combat and evacuation missions, of which the most recent have been Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and Operation Iraqi Freedom in Iraq. In addition, modified versions of the Black Hawk have operated as special operations platforms.
