Description

The kit molded in light gray styrene and features finely scribed details on the exterior. Supplied on five trees, plus a single tree carrying the windscreen and canopy, the kit is beautifully detailed. While most of the kit parts are common with the CH-46A/D release, this kit has the larger sponsons of the KV-107. The cargo compartment interior walls do have some visible ejector pin marks, though the majority of them are not viewable after assembly.

The interior cargo compartment is nicely done. You have choices to install troop seats, stretchers, or just leave it empty to haul cargo. A full set of stenciling is provided for the interior as well as the exterior to provide the requisite look of the aircraft. The designers did a nice job on this kit as there is a separate ceiling and floor for the cargo compartment, so you won’t be seeing into the caverns of the rotor masts.

After spending so much time in the cargo compartment, you’re probably wondering if it will be seen after completion. The side crew entry door is positionable open or closed. The rear ramp and door are also independently positionable so you can portray the aircraft loading or unloading on the ground, open in flight, or all buttoned up.
