Italeri 1/72 Scale HH-53C Super Jolly Green Giant Model Kit

Italeri 1/72 Scale HH-53C Super Jolly Green Giant Model Kit The HH-53C Jolly Green was developed by Sikorsky as a variant of the heavy helicopter CH-53 Sea Stallion. It entered service with the U.S. Air Force in the late 1960s. It was designed to carry out CSAR “Search and Rescue” missions in combat zones with high operational effectiveness. Compared to the previous version, it was equipped with an aerial refuelling probe, additional fuel tanks, reinforced armour, and the option to mount extra defensive armament. Particular attention was given to improving the radio systems, which had to coordinate operational activities with other supporting aircraft—such as tankers or attack and support helicopters—needed to safely locate downed or missing pilots. Robust, reliable, and featuring long flight endurance, it was widely used during the Vietnam War.   FEATURES: New artwork Super decal sheet for 4 versions Colour instruction sheet   SPECIFICATIONS: Length: 28.4cm Scale: 1/72 Level: 3/5   Paints and glue are required to complete this model kit.
