But instructions lacked some diagrams of how the parts should be after fitting ! Not the best ! ### ⭐⭐⭐ Challenging frustrating build *by A***N on 3 April 2021* My daughter bought this kit for me has a present, I thought I would give my views of my experience with the kit. Detail is good, the kit provides parts for two options to build, but the instructions which are terrible only show the special ops variant to build, it is a very challenging build with many fiddly small parts, some of which could have been moulded into the main fuselage, on the subject of which, my particular kit was a poor fit and required a lot of additional work. There were several additional parts on the sprue with no clue has to where they should be used. A very basic interior but detailing was ok. The colour scheme is a olive drab for US army, I used used tamyia paints as the paints recommended by the kit are difficult to get in the uk. In summary the instruction are very basic and difficult to follow, a very frustrating build although the kit looks good once completed. Cant say I enjoyed this kit. ## Frequently Bought Together - Italeri 1218S 1/72 Mh-47 E SOA Chinook - Testors Acrylic Finishing Sets Paint Kit, 0.25 Fl Oz (Pack of 9), Multicolor - Italeri Models Ah-6 Night Fox Model Kit, Small --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/49061523-italeri-510001218-1-72-mh-47-e-soa-chinook](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/49061523-italeri-510001218-1-72-mh-47-e-soa-chinook) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-20*
