Hasegawa Bell UH-1D 1/72 Scale

The original Bell Helicopter Model 204 (UH-1A through UH-1C) and Model 205 (UH-1D through UH-1X) were developed for the U.S. Army and entered service in 1956 and were the first turbine-powered Army helicopters. One of the basic design specifications for the UH-1 was the requirement by the Aviation Section of the Surgeon General's Office for the Army's utility helicopter to carry at least four litter cases; hence the Huey had a maximum width of 98 1/2 inches to accommodate stretchers sideways. It was to carry an 800-pound payload for a 100 nautical mile radius mission.

Italeri OH-13s Coast Guard 1/48 Scale

The Bell 47 was the first helicopter to be certified for civil use on 8 March 1946.[1][2] It was largely designed by Arthur M. Young who joined Bell Helicopter in 1941. Over 5,600 were produced up to 1974, including 1200 under license in Italy, 239 in Japan, and 239 in the UK.
It entered U.S. Military service in late 1946, and would go on to service under a wide variety of versions and designations over 3 decades that followed. Its use in the Korean War (1950-1953) as the H-13 by the United States Army would be among the highlights of its extensive career.

Italeri V-22 Osprey 1/48 Scale

The V-22 Osprey was the first aircraft designed from the ground up to meet the needs of all four U.S. Armed services. In partnership with Bell Helicopter Textron, Boeing Helicopters built the revolutionary new tiltrotor aircraft that takes off and lands vertically like a helicopter.
Once airborne, its blades can be rotated to convert the aircraft to a turboprop airplane capable of high-speed, high-altitude flight. Boeing was assigned responsibility for the fuselage, all subsystems, digital avionics and fly-by-wire flight-control systems.
