Italeri 1/48 H-21C Flying Banana Gunship Model Kit

The H-21 Shawnee helicopter, affectionately dubbed the "Flying Banana" due to its distinctive upward-angled fuselage, is an iconic piece of aviation history. Designed to house two robust tandem rotors, this helicopter was a reliable asset for the U.S. Army starting in the early 1950s. Its versatility and durability were further proven during the Vietnam War when it was used to transport troops and supplies.

This Italeri model kit captures the essence of the H-21C Gunship, which was equipped with armaments such as cannons under the nose for ground support missions. The kit includes new parts, a super decal sheet for five versions, photo-etched parts, and color instruction sheets, offering model builders a comprehensive and detailed building experience.
