1/72 Heller - Eurocopter UH -72A ""Lakota""

A modern U.S. Army helicopter modelled with sleek lines and a clean fuselage. The Lakota kit features simple assembly and allows modellers to portray current search-and-rescue or liaison roles with minimal fuss.

Heller aircraft kits are known for their distinctive blend of classic charm, unique subject choices, and European flair. While not always as finely detailed as the latest tooling from bigger brands, Heller kits often focus on less mainstream aircraft—particularly French and European designs—that are rarely produced by other manufacturers. This makes them a popular choice among enthusiasts looking to expand their collection beyond the usual Spitfires and Mustangs.

The kits generally feature older moulds with raised or engraved panel lines, and while detail may be modest, the parts fit is typically solid. With a bit of extra care and aftermarket support, these kits can build into highly satisfying and distinctive models.
