Italeri ITA2779 Model kit, Unpainted

I bought this as a retirement gift for a colleague that was once is the RAF and worked in this exact model when he was a younger man. He loved it and it brought back a lot of good memories.

Purchased kit as a build for wife's time down the Falklands - the "Wokka" is her favourite helicopter. The kit is 1/48 scale, with great detail and clean mouldings. The build has been mentioned on various forums/groups as "a challenge", but will go together well, if plenty of preparation. Engines and interior are well detailed, with potential for "super detailing" with aftermarket parts. Decals are clean/sharp and well printed. I would advise purchasing a "canopy mask" for painting as the chinook has a lot of glass framing/detailing- this will give you clear and defined windows and top off your build.

Still in the process of building this. There's some detailing in the cockpit, but not much elsewhere. The mesh air filters for the engines are a nice touch. No figures or weapons. Update: now complete and I'm pretty happy with it. The fuselage went together well, with minimal clamping required. Lots of trial fitting is important. The fit of the cockpit glass was not great, a little bit of filler was required. Note that the colour scheme is my own - not included in the kit instructions.

Outstanding

Diddnt really plan this well, I was away whilst it was delivered to my home for the wive to see. Needless to say she wasn't happy, probably shouldn't tell her there is two more models on route in the post. Great molds with great detail

Superb build,this was a fantastic model to build,bought and built as a gift for daughter in RAF and she loved it,not for new model builders,quite a difficult model to build and paint.

An amazing build one of my most favourite projects ever. Beautiful molds, clear instructions and amazing detailing. Almost wanted to pull it apart just so I could build it again it was that good

Brought this for my husband for his birthday. He was very happy with the kit until he found a damaged part, it was not broken in transit but damaged when the kit was produced. We contacted the seller and Italeri with no help with replacement. My husband made the model and was pleased with the end result after he spent ages repairing the damaged part. Would have given this model 5 stars but reduced to 3 because of the lack of feedback

mu buena maqueta gran calidad no la montado pero parece que no tine muchois problemas de encaje

CH-47の自衛隊仕様が唯一手をかけずに作成できそうなので購入しました。キットの出来は見た目イタレリスタンダードです。出品者は海外なので手元に到着するまで発送連絡を受けてから約3週間かかりました。梱包は段ボール箱でキットの箱ぴったりサイズに収められ、箱に多少のスレ等ありましたが中身については無事でした。

Bellissimo
