Hughes 500D Tow Helicopter

This is a 1/48 Plastic Hughes 500D TOW Helicopter from Academy Plastics. It's for ages 10 and up.

One of the most nimble helicopters in service today is the Hughes Model 500. This machine is a development of the U.S. Army's OH-6A Cayuse which proved so valuable as an observation and attack helicopter in the vietnam war. The Model 500 is modified with a "T" type tail and a five-blade rotor for more quiet operation. The spritely defender can carry nearly all military equipment designed for helicopters.

"Great Kit, Lots of Small Parts"
jesgonzalez895 (jesgonzalez895@gmail.com)
Good quick little kit. Picked up 2 for a weekend build. May recommend having a bit of skill or at least some really steady hands. Lots of small tiny parts.

An awesome helicopter to add to your collection. Perfect scale size and a really great price on it by Hobbylinc.Probably recommended for a slightly more skilled model builder. This is due to the small parts - but still a great kit and I highly recommend it.
