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.

H-21c Flying Banana Gunship Italeri 1:48 scale c NEW PARTS - SUPER DECALS FOR 5 VERSIONS - PHOTO-ETCHED - COLOR INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINS ONE MODEL The H-21 Shawnee is famous for its nickname "flying banana" which comes from the particular fuselage curved upwards at the rear. The fuselage designed in this original way have in fact allowed the adoption of the two powerful rotors with large propellers. The two rotors and the robust aerodynamic structure have made the H-21 a real workhorse capable of carrying out the most demanding transport missions in often difficult environments. Widely used by the US Army since the first half of the 1950s, it was also used by the US Army in the Vietnamese theater of operations for troop transport and tactical transport of materials starting in 1961. To use the helicopter, which proved to be overall robust and reliable, also for missions in support of ground troops, “Gunship” versions were built, armed with cannons under the nose or installed in the area of ​​the side doors. It was also used, armed with an MG 151 cannon on the right door and a .30 caliber weapon on the left side, by French troops in Algeria.

V-22 OSPREY ITALERI

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 ITALERI 1:48 2748 EXTENSIVELY MODIFIED MOULDS SUPER DECALS FOR 5 VERSIONS - COLOR INSTRUCTIONS The AH-64 Apache is perhaps the most famous and feared attack helicopter in history. It was designed to operate on the front lines and to carry out anti-tank, anti-helicopter, assault and close support missions in all weather conditions and in any operational environment. The AH-64D Longbow is the updated version with increased offensive capabilities and advanced electronics for target acquisition on the battlefield. The “Longbow” is characterized by the large AN/APG-78 radar installed above the main rotor that allows the acquisition of targets and the use of missiles, such as the anti-tank Hellfire, even when the helicopter remains out of the enemy's line of sight by remaining hidden behind depressions, trees or buildings. Armed with a 30mm automatic cannon under the cabin it can carry a significant offensive load consisting of rockets and missiles that can be installed in the pylons of the side fins.

The Wessex, easily recognizable by its unmistakable line characterized by the elevated pilot's cabin, was produced by the British Westland under license. It was in fact based on the cell of the American Sikorsky S-58 helicopter and on the adoption of a 1,200 HP Rolls-Royce turbine engine of English production. Thanks to an extraordinary longevity, the Wessex was, for almost three decades, used by the British Royal Navy to carry out, in its various versions, numerous operational tasks. Among the latest versions, the HU 5 is the one that supported the weight of the most grueling, being used during the Falklands War of 1982. The Westland Wessex UH.5 was in fact specialized, during the conflict that saw Argentina and Great Britain, in tactical transport. However, it is in the transport of the Royal Marines Commandos, during assault and infiltration operations, that the Wessex UH.5 has demonstrated that it still possesses great robustness and reliability.

The McDonnell-Douglas (Boeing) AH-64 helicopter was selected as the winner in the 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 are equipped with conventional trailing edge fins and a swashplate tail improves longitudinal steering. The two-man crew takes their places one after the other in the armored cabin. The pilot's seat is in the rear and the gunner/gunner is in the front. The key to the helicopter's universal use are the TADS systems on the gunner's station and the PNVS systems used by the pilot. The TADS is a set of laser markers and rangefinder for target tracking and a forward-facing infrared sensor that is duplicated by the normal optics. The PNVS system is a developed FLIR system that allows you to fly a helicopter just above the ground to prevent or delay detection by enemy anti-aircraft defense. Apache helicopters took part in the operation in Panama in 1989, during Desert Storm in 1991, or the latest conflict in Iraq (2003). At the end of 1990, construction began on a new version of the helicopter, equipped with a Martin/Westinghouse Longbow millimeter radar installed overhead to control weapons. 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: fixed 30 mm Hughes M230A1 chain gun-1 gun and outboard armament - most often Hellfire missiles.
