Historic helicopters for scale modelling
Helicopters have a special appeal in modelling due to their open structure, rotors, glazed cockpits and very recognisable shapes. Models like the UH-1D Iroquois or the OH-13 Sioux let you work on cockpit details, rotors, decals and military finishes.
1/72 and 1/48 scales
- 1/72 scale: suitable for aviation collections, compact display cases and dioramas with several aircraft.
- 1/48 scale: offers more presence and lets you work better on the cockpit, structure, rotors and small details.
To complete the build you can use adhesive for kits, cutting tools, paints for kits and masking tape for cockpits and clear areas.
