About this kit
The 1/72 Airfix - Boeing Chinook HC1 (Late) kit depicts the British version of the iconic twin-rotor heavy-lift helicopter, adapted for the Royal Air Force. The HC1 served from the early 1980s, with later configurations featuring upgraded avionics, defensive systems, and airframe refinements. Known for its distinctive tandem rotor design, the Chinook could transport troops, vehicles, artillery, and supplies, proving invaluable in both combat and humanitarian missions.
This 1/72 scale plastic model assembly kit accurately reproduces the HC1 (Late) variant’s fuselage contours, rotor assemblies, and detailed cockpit. The kit includes finely moulded parts for undercarriage, rotor blades, and defensive equipment, as well as optional decals representing RAF service schemes. Ideal for aviation enthusiasts, it offers a faithful representation of one of the most recognisable military helicopters in the world.
