Your cart is empty.As helicopter technology continued to advance following the end of the Second World War, the operational flexibility offered by rotary powered aircraft resulted in a race to develop a machine with the power and range to carry both troops and supplies efficiently. The breakthrough came with the introduction of the US Sikorski H-19 Chickasaw, an aircraft which was the envy of the world, with the British military being particularly keen admirers. Having successfully evaluated a number of aircraft, a licence agreement was signed to allow Westland Aircraft based at Yeovil to produce the helicopter for British service. Named the Whirlwind, the first British build prototype flew in August 1953, with the type going on to enter Royal Navy service in July 1954.

This is an Airfix re-release under their “Classic Kits” range.What you will get is the original kit that was originally issued in 1956. In many cases Airfix have updated many of the Classic kits with new clear parts and decals.So you are going to get a kit that may require some modelling skills to get the best from but if you bear that in mind you should have few disappointments.Tends to be a case of buy when you see as many Airfix kits seem to be produced on a limited run basis so when they have gone thats it.
