Airfix Boeing Chinook HC.1 1:72 Plastic Model Kit Aircraft

This is the Airfix Boeing Chinook HC.1 in 1:72 scale, a plastic model kit of the RAF's twin-rotor heavy-lift helicopter.

About this model

The Chinook's tandem rotor layout has made it a familiar sight at airshows and on operations for decades, and this kit lets you build the RAF HC.1 variant with a reasonable level of detail for the scale. The 171-part kit is rated skill level 3, so it suits builders who already have some experience with plastic kits.

Inside the box you get the moulded plastic parts, an instruction sheet, a paint guide and a decal sheet covering two liveries, Bravo November from the Falklands campaign of 1982 and a No. 7 Squadron aircraft from Operation Granby/Desert Storm in 1991.
