Westland Wessex HC.2 - 1/72 - AIRFIX A04068
SKU AX04068
Brand AIRFIX
Scale: 1/72
Nation: United Kingdom
Period: Modern
Category Kit

Britain and Uruguay Westland Wessex HC.2 Helicopter Kit in 1/72 scale - Airfix model The Westland Wessex was a British all-metal multi-role helicopter with fixed three-mounted landing gear, in a classic configuration with main rotor and tail rotor on beam. Propulsion was provided by two Bristol Siddeley Gnome Mk.110/111 turboshaft engines of 1369 hp each. The first prototype flew in 1958, and mass production continued from 1958 to 1970. About 360 examples of this successful helicopter were made. The Westland Wessex was produced under a U.S. license from the Sikorsky H-34 helicopter, but underwent numerous modifications: first, different engines, a different power transmission and, in later versions, increasingly improved avionics were used. As a result, while maintaining the outward resemblance, the Westland Wessex was a very different vehicle from the Sikorski H-34. In the course of series production, several development versions were created. The first of them, named HAS.1, served initially as an anti-submarine helicopter (ZOP) and later as a search and rescue helicopter. Another version (HAS.3) was intended for ZOP operations and had much more comprehensive avionics than the HAS.1 version. Helicopters of this type were exported to several countries, including Australia, Oman, and Iraq.

Boeing Chinook HC.1 - 1/72 - AIRFIX A06024

Scale: 1/72
Nation: United Kingdom
Period: Cold War
Category Kit

Boeing Chinook HC.1 (Late) Helicopter Kit 1/72 scale - Airfix model Who can resist the allure of a Boeing Chinook model kit? This 1:72 scale version reproduces the last Chinook in service, assembled with 171 components and two scheme options. Which one will you choose? History Having entered RAF service in 1980, the mighty Boeing Chinook HC.1 has benefited from near-constant upgrades and acquisitions, becoming an essential component of British military capabilities. Indeed, it seems that the only aircraft capable of replacing a Chinook is another Chinook, a situation that will not change for many years. Since the latest Chinooks are among the most advanced aircraft currently in the Royal Air Force, the Chinook retention program will ensure that these aircraft can continue to serve the nation in a way that only Chinooks can, for at least the next two decades. The CH-47 Chinook is an American-made heavy transport helicopter, dating back to the Cold War and modern times, currently (2019) manufactured by Boeing Helicopters. The prototype flew in 1961 and the machine entered service in 1962. The CH-47F version of the helicopter has an overall length of 30.1 meters and a rotor diameter of 18.3 meters. It is propelled by two Lycoming T55-GA-714A engines of 4733 hp each. Its maximum speed in horizontal flight reaches 315 km/h. The helicopter has a tandem twin-rotor system and no tail beam. Work on the CH-47 Chinook began in the late 1950s, when the U.S. Army wanted to replace the CH-37 Mojave helicopter with a completely new craft with a much more modern engine and better performance. In the end, a helicopter was created with an unusual tandem system, but one that met the requirements. It also, as it turned out over time, had ample potential for modernization. During production, numerous development versions of this successful transport helicopter were created, including: CH-47A (the first mass-produced version), CH-47B (version with more powerful engines and redesigned hull) or CH-47F (version tested in 2001, with significantly modernized avionics, new engine and chassis). The CH-47 Chinook helicopter achieved considerable popularity and, in different versions, has been or is still used by countries such as the United States, Egypt, Greece, and Canada.

Black Hawk Down 1/48 - ICM 48363
SKU ICM-48363
Brand ICM
Scale: 1/48
Nation: United States of America
Period: Modern
Category Kit

Black Hawk Down Operation Gothic Serpent helicopter kit in 1/48 scale - ICM model. When we talk about "Black Hawk Down helicopter," we specifically refer to the Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters that were shot down during the Battle of Mogadishu in 1993, an event made famous by the book and movie of the same name. Here are the key points about the Black Hawk helicopter in relation to "Black Hawk Down." Model: The downed helicopters were UH-60 Black Hawk, a medium, twin-turbine, single-rotor military utility helicopter produced by Sikorsky Aircraft. It is a versatile helicopter used for a variety of missions, including troop transport, electronic warfare and medical evacuation. Role in the battle: In the Battle of Mogadishu, UH-60 Black Hawks were part of Task Force Ranger, a U.S. special force sent to capture key lieutenants of Somali warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid. The helicopters were used to transport the Rangers and Delta Force operators to key points in the city. Shootdown: During the October 3, 1993 operation, two Black Hawk helicopters were shot down by RPG (anti-tank rocket launcher) rounds fired by Somali militias. These shootdowns turned a capture mission planned as quick into a prolonged and bloody battle, trapping American soldiers in the heart of Mogadishu. Significance: The shooting down of these helicopters became a pivotal moment in the battle and gave the title to both the book and the film. It symbolized the unexpected turn and increasing intensity of the conflict, as well as the difficulties and dangers faced by American forces in that mission. In summary, the "Black Hawk Helicopter Down" is not a specific model of helicopter other than the standard UH-60 Black Hawk, but refers to the helicopters of this type that were shot down during the Battle of Mogadishu, a central event in modern military history and popular culture.

It operated mainly from coastal airfields and warships, tasked with detecting and attacking enemy submarines, particularly American submarines. Due to limited production capacity and operational difficulties, the number of units built was small, and the operational impact of the Ka-1 remained marginal compared to conventional aircraft. Conclusion The Kayaba Ka-1 was one of the few autogiros employed in combat in World War II and represented an interesting experiment in Japanese aviation. Although its role was limited, it demonstrated the potential of autogiros for specialized missions such as anti-submarine warfare and tactical reconnaissance.

UH-60A Black Hawk helicopter kit Defence intelligence of Ukraine in 1/48 scale - ICM model.Prior to February 2022, the Ukrainian army and other security forces mainly used Soviet-made helicopters, most of which were Mi-8 transport helicopters and Mi-24 combat helicopters. However, in February 2023, photos and videos emerged in the information space showing a helicopter belonging to the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, which had an unusual blue-black livery and Ukrainian identification markings. This helicopter turned out to be a UH-60A Black Hawk, which had undergone some upgrades and had been handed over to the Ukrainian defenders. According to some sources, this helicopter was probably owned by the civilian company Ace Aeronautics, which specializes in upgrading transport aircraft cabins. In the spring of 2024, it was reported that the combat aviation of the Main Intelligence Directorate had received another UH-60A Black Hawk, now painted in the classic olive green color scheme. Both helicopters are tasked to transport special forces units to carry out necessary combat missions.

Historical Impact Replacement of the Huey: improved troop mobility and safety compared to its predecessor. Technological evolution: gave rise to upgraded versions such as theUH-60L andUH-60M, with more powerful engines and advanced avionics. Global use: exported to many countries, with versions adapted for specific needs. Conclusion TheUH-60A Black Hawk is one of the most iconic and reliable transport helicopters ever built.
