Italeri AB 212/UH-1N Helicopter Model Kit 1:48
510002692€25.99
Italeri AB 212/UH-1N is a 1:48 assembly kit that recreates a medium utility helicopter with a finished model length of 36 cm. The subject traces back to the twin-turbine UH-1N family developed by Bell Helicopter at the end of the 1960s, while the AB-212 designation identifies the licensed Italian-built version produced by Agusta Westland. The airframe is defined by a 2-blade rotor and a fuselage extended beyond model 205, giving this helicopter its distinctive profile. Power in the full-size aircraft comes from 2 Pratt & Whitney PT6T turboshaft turbines rated at 1.342 kW, a technical detail that helps place the type within the utility and military transport class. The kit also draws on the later operational update applied in the first half of the 2000s, when the AB 212 received equipment to expand mission capability. That configuration introduced 2 swivelling 7.62 mm machine guns on the tailgates, antimissile flare launchers, and additional ceramic and kevlar armour for crew protection. These details connect the build to real service use, including Italian AB 212 helicopters employed in Afghanistan from 2006 within the International Security Assistance Force mission. On the bench, that background gives extra meaning to the painting and decal stages, whether the focus is historical context, technical shape, or military aviation display. Paints are required separately. Warning! Not suitable for children under 14 years.

Italeri AW-101 Merlin HM.1 Model Kit 1:72
510001486€27.99
The Italeri AW-101 Merlin HM.1 model kit in 1:72 scale brings a modern Royal Navy helicopter onto the workbench with a shape defined by its large fuselage, prominent cockpit glazing and distinctive naval equipment fit. The subject represents the AW-101 Merlin, a medium-heavy multirole helicopter developed by AgustaWestland in collaboration with Westland Helicopters for naval service. In full-scale service, the Merlin was introduced in the early 2000s to replace the SH-3D Sea King and took on anti-submarine warfare as its primary embarked role. Its operational profile also extends to troop transport, maritime search and rescue, and combat search and rescue, which gives the finished model a clear place within modern military aviation collections. The aircraft is powered by 3 turbines, reaches a maximum speed of 310 km/h and has an operational range exceeding 1,350 km. A super decals sheet for 3 versions supports different marking finishes on the completed helicopter. Figures are not included. On the bench, the 1:72 format suits careful painting, decal placement and weathering across the Merlin's broad surfaces, sensors and undercarriage details. Once completed, the AW-101 Merlin HM.1 sits naturally in a line-up of contemporary helicopters, naval aircraft or search-and-rescue subjects, with the CROWEST-marked Royal Navy appearance giving the build a strong service character. Warning! Not suitable for children under 14 years.

Italeri HH-53C Jolly Green Giant Kit 1:72
510091035€27.99
The Italeri HH-53C Jolly Green Giant kit in 1:72 brings a combat search and rescue helicopter to the workbench with the long, purposeful lines of a heavy-lift airframe shaped for demanding missions. Based on the Sikorsky HH-53C, this plastic kit recreates a U.S. Air Force aircraft that entered service in the late 1960s and became closely associated with Vietnam War operations. The subject stands apart through the mission equipment developed for CSAR search and rescue work in combat zones. The HH-53C evolved from the CH-53 Sea Stallion with changes that supported longer reach and tougher operating conditions, including an aerial refueling probe, additional fuel tanks, reinforced armor, and the option to mount extra defensive armament. Another defining element was the upgraded radio fit, used to coordinate with supporting aircraft such as tankers, attack helicopters, and other rescue assets during pilot recovery operations. That combination gives the finished model a distinct operational profile rather than a generic transport-helicopter look. On the bench, the 1:72 scale keeps the build manageable while still leaving room for the aircraft's characteristic external equipment and broad fuselage shape to read clearly. The completed helicopter suits military aviation collections, Vietnam-era lineups, and dioramas centered on rescue or support missions, where the HH-53C's specialized role gives it a strong visual presence.
