Italeri ITA1218 1/72 MH-47 E SOA Chinook Model kit, Unpainted, 1

Good model ! But instructions lacked some diagrams of how the parts should be after fitting ! Not the best !

I like to have things to do when I get bored, so I buy things like this to take the boredom away. This is not too complicated but not too easy, either.

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.

Delivered on time, chosen by my granddaughter who is getting stuck in. yet to complete it, seems to be enjoying it.

A gift for my husband. Who enjoyed making
