1:72 Scale Diecast metal and plastic parts – Westland Scout AH.1 British Army 1983 - Length: 6" (from tip tail to tip of rotor at the front) Rotor span: 5.75”
This model does not include a pilot/crew figures. The cockpit can not open. A stand where the model can be attached for display is included. The display stand has the model's info such as country, flag and scale.
The blades for the main rotor need to be attached. Although they are supposed to be snap/friction fit, it seems that it will be better is a tiny (very tiny) drop of super glue is applied just to keep things secure. The assembly for the rotor and the blades are very fragile, so one needs to be very careful when attaching the blades since it is very easy to bend or break things out of shape.
This is not a toy. Recommended for 15 and older.
The Westland Scout is a light helicopter developed by Westland Helicopters. Developed from the Saro P.531, it served as a land-based general purpose military helicopter, sharing a common ancestor and numerous components with the naval-orientated Westland Wasp helicopter. The type's primary operator was the Army Air Corps of the British Army, which operated it in several conflict zones including Northern Ireland and the Falklands War.
