AH-1 / AB-47 Bell 47 Helicopter

Originally designed as the H-13 for the U.S. Army it was soon adopted by a considerable number of western nations. The version reproduced in this kit is representitive of the units produced under license in Great Britian and Italy, where the Sioux was used well into the sixties for training purposes.

This Italeri kit of the Sioux is in scale 1:72.
