This 1/72 scale plastic model kit from Airfix recreates the late-version Boeing Chinook HC.1 used by the Royal Air Force. With highly detailed parts, authentic decals, and fine surface detailing, it’s a must-have for modelers interested in modern military helicopters.
About the Vehicle:
First introduced in the 1960s, the Boeing CH-47 Chinook is a twin-rotor, heavy-lift helicopter capable of transporting troops, vehicles, artillery, and supplies. The HC.1 was the RAF’s designation for its initial fleet of Chinooks, which played a critical role in operations such as the Falklands War and later deployments in the Middle East. The “late” HC.1 upgrades included improved avionics, strengthened airframes, and enhanced systems, ensuring the Chinook remained a vital asset for decades. Its speed, payload, and reliability have made it indispensable in both combat and humanitarian operations.
About the Model:
The kit captures the distinctive tandem rotor design and robust fuselage of the Chinook HC.1. It includes finely detailed cockpit and interior elements, realistic rotor assemblies, and options for RAF markings. The 1/72 scale makes it an impressive display piece while still manageable in size for hobbyists.
