This variant was developed for the USAF and operated as a SAR rescue machine as well as a support, escort, and transport helicopter for personnel and equipment at missile bases. One of the most recognizable military helicopters thanks to its distinct silhouette and the sound of its main rotor, it was especially present in Southeast Asia during the military conflicts of the 1960s and 1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes the Hobby Boss 87230 model stand out?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe kit features very detailed surface texture, prominently rendered rivets, lines, and helicopter panels.
